The FlyPad® is the bareback riding pad with a dorsal channel that protects your pony’s back while providing a stable seat and close contact. More comfortable than riding bareback, more natural than a saddle. Already trusted by more than 3,000 riders worldwide.
It protects the pony's back with the same high standards as for a horse. It frees the spine and withers and distributes pressure to provide maximum comfort for ponies. It is designed to fit ponies and lighter riders (up to 120 lb / 55 kg).
What riders are saying
I’ve replaced the saddles on my ponies with the FlyPad: the children find their balance naturally and develop excellent postures.

With a pony that’s tricky to saddle, I’m really impressed by the FlyPad, it adapts to every horse’s back. And my daughter is in love with her FlyPad (and her pony 😍)

Your pony's back deserves just as much care and attention as a horse's.
We often think about protecting a horse's back, but less often about a pony's... As if their smaller size made them less in need of protection. Yet a pony's back deserves the same level of care and attention. The FlyPad® Poney was designed with the same high level of protection as the Horse version. Its dorsal channel completely clears the spine and withers, while the adjustable lateral wings adapt to each pony's individual shape, from smaller to larger pony builds. Adjusting the wings is easy and straightforward, using hook-and-loop fasteners.
Comfort and Connection for Lighter Riders
Designed for riders weighing up to 120 lb / 55 kg, the ergonomic design of the FlyPad® Poney promotes natural alignment and close contact with the pony. The suede seat provides optimal grip, while the shorter cut compared to the Horse version creates a secure feel adapted to smaller riders and pony builds.
