The bond between horse and rider is paramount to a successful partnership. With a Horsedream bareback pad from Werner Christ in Germany, you achieve the ultimate comfort for modern riding. Horsedream bareback saddles are specially designed to enable flexibility, an ability to feel the horse's every move, and high comfort due to friction and chafing reduction for the horse.
Werner Christ bareback saddles from the Horsedream series are designed and constructed with exceptionally high standards by award-winning Werner Christ. Horsedream bareback saddles are known for superior comfort and performance. A close feeling between horse and rider is the key to communication, allowing you the ability to absorb your horse's every movement while gently guiding through subtle cues.
Christ bareback pads have received high praise from professional riders, and the saddle pads have seen extensive use by both independent riders and equine therapists. It's as close as you can get to riding completely bareback while using a bareback saddle.

Promotes Responsible Bareback Riding
Horsedream bareback pads are an innovation designed by Christ Lammfelle in Germany, manufacturer and designer of Horsedream products. The bareback saddles are made of 100% medical grade merino lambskin and wool with durable cotton twill exterior.
The merino lambskin and wool provide exceptional comfort and pressure distribution. The cotton exterior protects the lambskin and sheepskin interior while still allowing flexibility. This innovative design allows for responsible bareback riding by protecting the horse's back from the rider's weight and any pressure points, while still providing the close contact that riders enjoy with bareback riding. The flexible sheepskin conforms to the horse's natural contours.
By using a Horsedream bareback saddle designed specifically for bareback riding, riders can experience the freedom of riding bareback while promoting their horse's health and comfort. The bareback saddle enables riders to feel closer to their horse's movements and warmth, while avoiding potential back soreness that can occur with extended bareback riding.
Anatomically Shaped
Horsedream bareback pads are anatomically shaped to provide plenty of padding to protect your horse's back while riding. The saddle is designed with an ergonomic contour to follow the horse's back and distribute weight evenly across their spine. This helps prevent concentrated pressure points from the rider's seat bones that could cause pain or injury. The combination of high-density memory foam and lambswool layers provides excellent shock absorption. This cushions the spine from the impact of the rider's movements, reducing strain. The flexible panels allow the barback saddle to conform to each horse's unique back shape. This ensures an even spread of weight for superior comfort and protection.
With correct bareback riding position, the anatomical design helps keep the rider's weight centered over the horse. This aligned weight distribution minimizes the load on any one area of the back. Reviewing proper bareback posture is advisable to get the most benefit from the saddle's ergonomic shape. With good riding form, Horsedream's anatomical bareback saddles promote safe, comfortable riding for both horse and rider.
Provides Therapeutic Benefits
Riding in a Horsedream bareback saddle provides many therapeutic benefits for both horse and rider. The merino wool acts as a shock absorber for the rider's spine, absorbing concussion and providing essential cushioning. The flexibility of the saddle enables an unrestricted range of motion for the horse, allowing fuller muscle development and toning.
Without the restrictions of a traditional saddle's tree or panels, the horse is able to more fully engage its back muscles and strengthen its topline. Riders often notice an improvement in their horse's musculature when using the bareback pad regularly. The close contact feel enhances communication between horse and rider. Subtle cues and signals can be transmitted through the pad, allowing the rider to gently guide the horse with minimal interference. This level of closeness develops a strong bond and understanding between the pair.
By removing barriers between horse and rider, the bareback pad enables a therapeutic connection for both. The horse benefits physically while the rider benefits emotionally and mentally from the liberating feeling. Truly an innovation that promotes responsible bareback riding.
Suitable For All Horses
Horsedream bareback saddles are suitable for and fit all types of horses and ponies because they are treeless and made of sheepskin/lambskin leather which is completely flexible and does not cause any pressure points. The treeless and flexible design means the saddle evenly distributes pressure and your weight so your horse's back is protected from concentrated forces from your seat bones. There are no rigid panels or fixed trees that can cause discomfort on your horse's back.
Without a stiff tree, the Horsedream bareback saddle adapts to your horse's shape and movements. The plush sheepskin leather and lambswool padding further prevents pressure points that can occur with bareback riding. With no fixed tree or panels, you get an exceptionally close feeling and contact with your horse without any discomfort. The flexible padding enables freedom of movement so your horse can use its back properly.
This lack of pressure points and full flexibility ensures the Horsedream bareback saddle is suitable for all horse breeds and pony sizes. Your horse will love moving freely and comfortably in this high quality bareback saddle.
Ideal Uses
Horsedream Bareback Pads/Saddles are ideal for:
- Starting horses - The flexibility of the saddle allows the horse freedom of movement while protecting its back during the initial training process. The bareback design promotes close contact between horse and rider for effective communication.
- Young horse training - Training young horses requires clear signals and cues from the rider, which is enabled by the enhanced feel and connection of riding bareback. The saddle protects young horses' backs while allowing muscles to develop properly.
- Horses recovering from back injuries - For horses healing from sore backs or injuries, the gentle cushioning of the saddle pad protects the back from pressure points without a rigid tree. The bareback design prevents torque on sensitive areas while providing comfort.
- Horsemanship training - Riding bareback improves balance and core strength for riders while enabling very subtle communication through the seat, legs and hands. Horsedream saddles are ideal for developing true horsemanship skills.
- Rider balance and seat training - Without the support of stirrups and saddle, riders must use core muscles to follow the horse's motion. Horsedream bareback pads improve balance and feel to help riders improve their seat and overall riding posture.
