Why choose the FlyPad® ?
It frees the spine and the withers
It spreads the pressure across the horse's sensitive back
It adapts to every conformation
It is developed with equine osteopaths and saddle fitters
It is tested under pressure-mapping pads
Pressure readings show the rider's weight spreading across the surface of the back instead of concentrating under the seat bones.
The FlyPad® protects your horse's sensitive back
Thanks to its padded lateral wings, the FlyPad® creates a spinal channel that fully frees the spine and withers, with no rigid pressure. A design that encourages your horse's natural freedom of movement — even during longer sessions. The Wings are adjustable to fit all conformations.
Connection and comfort
The ergonomic design of the FlyPad® encourages a natural alignment of the rider's body and the closest possible contact with the horse. The suede seat offers optimal grip for greater stability, while the cut creates a secure, confident feel.
Handcrafted in France and Italy.
Each FlyPad® is made with real high-end craftsmanship. 9 exclusive colorways, premium finishes: Italian suede, BioThane® and high-performance technical materials. A bareback pad that's beautiful, built to last, and technically uncompromising.
Benefits for the horse
Back protection
The wings of the FlyPad® protect the column and the withers by creating an adjustable back gutter. An anatomical support without arch or rigid pressure.
Cut and materials
Anatomical shape and flexible materials that adapt to all morphologies.
Comfort Surface
The horse's-side surface is soft and thermo regulating, designed to distribute pressure and limit heat build-up. Its smooth texture protects the coat and does not stick to sweat. The horse remains free in its movement and its back is protected.
Benefits for the rider
Stability & Security
Suede seat offering stability and security to the rider's position. Non-slip underside keeping the FlyPad® in place, with no tree and no constraint.

The best bareback pad I tried. I compared it with the barefoot and flypad is at the same time super comfortable and very nice looking 🙂

A friend told us how great is was so we all bought the flypad in my stable!! In different colours 😉

Really the perfect pad for human and horse. It has it all, beautiful colours, great construction fot the horse, is antislip, sits like a sofa, has a handle, resonable price. So happy with it!
A little strage that it doesn’t come already impregnated. Not sure what are all all those rings supposed be for.
Also the website did not state if suede is real or imitation. It is real suede. It would be great if it was vegan.
