The Bartl Sheepskin Back Pad High Wither with Roll – Gullet Free with Felt Shims combines the luxurious comfort of natural sheepskin with the versatility of an adjustable shim system. Designed for precise saddle fit and ultimate back protection, this pad offers exceptional performance and adaptability for every horse and rider.

Premium Natural Sheepskin

Crafted from 100% genuine sheepskin, the pad delivers unmatched softness, breathability, and moisture control. Naturally temperature-regulating, it helps disperse heat and wicks away sweat, keeping your horse’s back cool and comfortable during all types of work. Its superior shock absorption helps prevent soreness and fatigue, particularly for sensitive or performance horses.

Spine-Free, Gullet-Free Design

The contoured, spine-free cut eliminates pressure along the back and wither, allowing complete freedom of movement. The gullet-free construction prevents friction, ensuring the pad remains stable and comfortable even during intense training.

High Wither & Anatomical Fit

The high-cut wither offers generous clearance, while the anatomically shaped top line follows the natural curve of the horse’s back for even pressure distribution. The pad lies smoothly beneath the saddle without bunching or slipping.

Felt Shim System for Custom Fit

Equipped with two pockets on each side, this pad includes removable felt shims that allow you to fine-tune saddle balance and fit. Adjusting the shims provides targeted support where needed, making it ideal for horses with changing musculature or those in rehabilitation.

Supportive Sheepskin Roll

A soft sheepskin roll at the back enhances stability, supports saddle position, and adds extra cushioning at the cantle — with an elegant, professional finish.

Versatile and Functional

Suitable for use under close contact, jumping, or general-purpose saddles, this pad can be used alone or with additional half pads.

The Bartl Sheepskin Back Pad High Wither with Roll – Gullet Free (with Felt Shims) offers the perfect blend of natural comfort, intelligent design, and adjustable support — giving you the flexibility to achieve the ideal saddle fit every time.
