Why Proper Weight Distribution Matters for Your Horse’s Performance

Why Proper Weight Distribution Matters for Your Horse’s Performance

When it comes to saddle fit, most riders focus on the saddle itself. But what sits between the saddle and the horse can make a measurable difference in comfort, performance, and long-term soundness.

At Sedelogic, we believe a saddle pad should do more than fill space. It should actively support the horse’s back.


The Hidden Problem: Uneven Pressure

Even a well-fitted saddle can create pressure points during movement. As the horse works, forces shift through the back with every stride, transition, and landing. Over time, uneven pressure can contribute to:

  • Muscle soreness

  • Heat buildup

  • Restricted movement

  • Compensatory tension patterns

Traditional pads made from foam or gel often compress under load. Once compressed, they lose their ability to absorb shock or redistribute force effectively.


A Structural Approach to Support

Sedelogic saddle pads are engineered with a proprietary 3D honeycomb weaving structure. This design allows the pad to:

  • Distribute weight more evenly across the back

  • Maintain consistent shock absorption

  • Promote airflow under the saddle

  • Reduce heat accumulation

Instead of flattening under pressure, the structured weave helps maintain integrity during work. The result is more consistent support from warm-up to cool-down.


Veterinary-Driven Design

Sedelogic was developed by veterinarian Dr. Jerome Stokkermans with a clear objective: create equipment that addresses real biomechanical demands, not just aesthetic preferences.

By combining clinical insight with advanced materials, Sedelogic pads are designed to support horses with sensitive backs, high performance demands, or those in rehabilitation programs.


Performance You Can Feel

Riders often report improved balance and stability in the saddle. When the horse is more comfortable, movement becomes freer, transitions feel smoother, and connection improves.

While every horse is different, the goal remains the same: reduce unnecessary strain and support long-term soundness.


Intelligent Design. Exceptional Support.

A saddle pad should not be an afterthought. It is part of your horse’s performance system.

If you are looking for science-driven design, durable materials, and measurable support, Sedelogic offers a smarter foundation between saddle and back.
