The Werner Christ Horse range includes their very popular lambskin bareback saddles. Lambskin has a higher quality than sheepskin. These lambskin saddles have real lamb's wool which, unlike sheepskin, is denser, provides better pressure distribution and promotes blood circulation. Lamb's wool is breathable, moisture absorbent and has antibacterial and temperature regulating properties. The bareback pads have medically tanned lambskin in the layers and are organically produced within the EU at Werner Christ's own award-winning tannery.
This special type of saddle/ridpad/barback apad has no saddle bar and these barless saddles are more flexible and gentle on the horse, as they do not provide pressure points like normal saddles. Werner Christ's bareback saddles are automatically shaped to the horse's back without time-consuming adaptation. Front and rear arches provide incredibly good support for the rider, more so than a normal bareback saddle . The natural lamb's wool provides a very high degree of comfort for both horse and rider. A Swedish study has shown that sheepskin/lambskin provides the best pressure distribution. Because the underside of the barback toad has lamb's wool , in whole or in part, there is no need to use a scraper underneath. However, you will find customized Christ saddle pads for these riding pads for each model for extra protection. There are also saddle girths made of lamb's wool for Christ's barback saddles in different designs and lengths.
Our bareback pads can be used with or without stirrups if desired for better balance. Stirrup leather is then attached to D-rings on the pad. These bareback pads can be washed at 30 degrees with our customized detergent.
