A well-fitting saddle starts with the right foundation. Maddelin 's half pads and half covers ensure perfect pressure distribution, extra shock absorption, and a stable saddle position. Whether you're looking for increased comfort, correction for uneven muscle structure, or protection during intensive training, our collection offers top-quality technical solutions that make a difference for both horse and rider.

Protection and pressure distribution

Our pads are designed to relieve pressure on the horse's back and prevent pressure points . Thanks to innovative materials like gel, memory foam, lambskin, or high-tech foam, they conform to the horse's back and the position of the saddle. This keeps the horse moving relaxed, with a back that can work freely.

Our collection includes:

• Shock absorbing pads – absorb impact when jumping or intense training.
• Gel pads – non-slip, flexible and anatomically shaped.
• Memory foam underlays – adapt exactly to the shape of your back.
• Correction pads – with interchangeable inserts to compensate for imbalances.
• Lambskin underlays – naturally breathable and soft for sensitive horses.

All models are designed for maximum comfort, stability and back support .

Perfect location and compatibility

A good half pad shouldn't raise the saddle higher than necessary. That's why we only select models that optimize the saddle's position without disrupting the rider's position.
Our pads are suitable for:

• Dressage and jumping saddles ,
• Eventing and training saddles ,
• And also for younger or sensitive horses that still need to develop muscles.

The anatomical shape ensures freedom at the withers and spine , with a stable position with every movement.
