Yes. A half pad can help fine-tune saddle fit by:

• Filling minor gaps
• Reducing pressure points
• Stabilizing the saddle

Sedelogic half pads are especially useful for horses that are changing shape or in training.

A half pad for horses with back pain can help by reducing pressure and improving weight distribution. The Sedelogic Half Pad is designed as a shock absorbing saddle pad that minimizes pressure points and supports overall back comfort. For medical conditions, always consult your vet or saddle fitter.

The Sedelogic Half Pad is easy to maintain:

• Machine washable at 80°F
• Quick to air dry
• Durable and retains shape over time

This makes it a practical, low-maintenance saddle pad for everyday use.

The best way to use a half pad for horses is by placing it on top of a cotton saddle pad. This setup helps keep the half pad and underside of your saddle cleaner, while allowing the horse half pad to fine-tune saddle fit and provide targeted shock absorption.

No, Sedelogic Half Pads are not shimmable. Instead, they are designed to eliminate the need for inserts by offering built-in support through their structure.

Our Ortho Pad and Reverse Ortho Pad function like built-in shims, with layered thickness that gradually changes across the pad:

• Ortho Pad: 1–2–3 thickness
• Reverse Ortho Pad: 3–2–1 thickness

This design allows the half pad for horses to naturally adjust saddle balance and improve fit without the need for additional shims. The result is a more consistent, stable, and shock absorbing saddle pad solution.

To mold the Sedelogic S-Curve Half Pad:

1. Heat the pad gently with a hair dryer until it becomes soft and pliable.
2. Place it on your horse’s back.
3. Put your saddle on top and sit on your horse for a few minutes to let the pad harden into the perfect shape.
   

This method ensures a custom fit, improving saddle fit, pressure distribution, and shock absorption for your horse.
