Why choose an ergonomic bareback pad?
Your horse's back stays protected: the channel clears the spine and withers, with zero pressure points
Natural stability: no rigid tree, just a secure seat for the rider
Built for every build: the cut and materials adapt to each horse's back
Channel and adjustable Wings: your horse's back, finally respected
The channel clears the spine and withers along the full length of the pad: zero pressure points on the back.
The adjustable Wings keep this space clear, whatever your horse's build.
Security and connection
The cut and materials improve the rider's balance and seat.
Thanks to the structure of the Airmesh fabric, the pad offers excellent cushioning and support.
It loves the water!
The seat is made of Airmesh fabric: a synthetic, micro-perforated material with a three-dimensional weave that ensures excellent air circulation. It doesn't absorb water, dries in minutes, and stays durable over time. Perfect for swimming at the lake or sea with your horse.

Horse benefits
- Anatomical cut and flexible materials that adapt to the back of the horse, regardless of its morphology
- Wither-relief design that prevents any rubbing
- BioThane® straps sewn in a V-shape (they do not pass over the pad) to protect the horse's back by avoiding concentrated pressure
- No stirrup to avoid concentrated pressure on the horse's back
Rider benefits
- Airmesh fabric provides good grip and thus a stable seat
- Synthetic wool seat padding for comfort, flexibility and safety
- designed facilitate an aligned position: the sides are refined to allow a good leg descent and be in contact with the horse. The front and back of the FlyPad® are padded for support and safety
Caution
Avoid riding in jeans with rivets or in trousers with rough or rigid surfaces. Friction on the Airmesh fabric may cause signs of wear. These signs of wear cannot be grounds for a claim.
Care
- The FlyPad® Aqua can be cleaned with a damp sponge or even rinsed with a hose.
- After a trip to the sea, rinse it with clean water to remove the salt.
- Occasionally condition the leather handle with leather grease.
- Store it completely dry, away from moisture and direct sunlight.
- The ultimate tip: store it by covering it with the Cocoon cover.
