A bareback pad is a flexible piece of equipment, without a tree, that places the rider as close as possible to the horse&#8217;s back for a freer and more connected ride. A saddle remains essential for certain disciplines and for long hours of work. A bareback pad, on the other hand, favours feel, lightness and closeness to the horse. A well-designed model such as Vahana&#8217;s FlyPad\u00ae still protects the back and withers thanks to its channel, whereas riding fully bareback offers no protection at all.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"faq-category":[900],"faq-product":[896,897],"class_list":["post-49927","faq","type-faq","status-publish","hentry","faq-category-bareback-pad","faq-product-flypad","faq-product-flypad-aqua"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vahana.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faq\/49927","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vahana.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vahana.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/faq"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vahana.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"faq-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vahana.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faq-category?post=49927"},{"taxonomy":"faq-product","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vahana.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faq-product?post=49927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
