Research
Sedelogic products are built on years of veterinary-led research focused on saddle fit, pressure distribution, and equine back health. The brand was developed in collaboration with veterinary universities across Europe to better understand how saddles, pads, and rider weight interact with the horse’s back during movement.
Vet-Developed Half Pads & Saddle Pads for Back Health
Sedelogic was developed by Dr. Jerome Stokkermans, an equine veterinarian with over 15 years of experience working with horses affected by back pain, sore backs, and performance issues. His work was supported by research at several renowned veterinary universities across Europe, where he studied how saddle fit, rider impact, and weight distribution affect equine comfort, movement, and overall back health.
This research included the world’s first pressure measurements under the saddle during real riding conditions, including full jumping courses. The findings revealed how traditional saddle pads and half pads often fail to distribute pressure effectively, forming the foundation for Sedelogic’s advanced shock-absorbing saddle pads, custom-fit half pads, and orthopedic tendon boots designed to improve saddle fit, reduce pressure points, and enhance performance for both horse and rider.
All-Purpose Half Pads for Every Discipline
Sedelogic's horse half pads are engineered to meet the unique demands of different equestrian sports while providing optimal comfort and protection. Hunter and jumper pads offer excellent shock absorption for high-impact activities like show jumping. The lightweight, breathable layers help keep the horse’s back dry and distribute pressure evenly.
Sedelogic also offers a versatile range of half pads. The breathable English half pad delivers orthopedic support, even weight distribution, and additional shock absorption, making it ideal for cross-country riding or horses with sensitive backs. A 2-ply all-purpose half pad is available for riders who want extra cushioning during dressage, endurance, or general training.
Premium Saddle Pads for Targeted Support
The S-Curve half pad provides targeted correction for asymmetry, uneven shoulders, and sensitive backs, including horses with kissing spines. Its thermoplastic rear panels allow a custom fit, improving saddle balance and overall comfort.
Sedelogic’s therapeutic lunging pad is lightweight, shock-absorbing, and designed to protect the horse from impact. Its breathable construction keeps the back dry during training, making it ideal for lunging, rehabilitation, or exercise without a saddle.
For Western riders, Sedelogic’s 3-ply Western pads provide effective pressure relief and shock absorption. Breathable materials help dissipate heat and moisture while supporting the horse during extended riding sessions or high-impact work.
Custom-Fit Tendon Boots for Horse Leg Protection
Sedelogic tendon boots use the same advanced thermoplastic technology as the S-Curve half pad to provide a precise, custom fit. The thermoplastic layer can be softened with a standard hair dryer and molded directly to the horse’s leg. Once cooled, the boot hardens, combining shock-absorbing inner layers with a supportive outer shell for maximum protection while keeping the horse’s leg temperature normal during exercise.
This innovative technology is also used in Sedelogic saddle pads, helping improve saddle fit, relieve shoulder pressure, prevent back issues, and maintain a dry, comfortable back. Sedelogic products including saddle pads, half pads, tendon boots, and chin protectors are trusted by top international riders for performance, comfort, and equine welfare.
