Challenger Horsewear 39TS05BR All Horse Supplies Pad

The Brown Challenger Horsewear 39TS05BR Baretek bareback riding pad is listed under All Horse Supplies in size 21.5" L x 40.5" W. The listing also gives pad dimensions of 22" L x 36" W and, elsewhere, 21" L x 22" W. It describes an easy-to-clean waterproof suede upper and also calls the upper synthetic suede.

The contoured pad has a wither cutback, cushioning, a thick felt layer for weight distribution, and a fleece shock-absorbing bottom. Its top and bottom are described as non-slip. A removable cinch measures 31" L x 3" W; composite stirrups are listed as 4-3/4" wide and suitable for Youth to Adult riders. The pad is intended for English, Western, and trail riding.

The listing says bareback riding can help riders work on balance, seat control, coordination, core and leg strength, and awareness of the horse's movements and cues. Closer contact may help communication between horse and rider, while some riders find it more natural and, in certain situations, more comfortable for the horse.
