High Wither Half Pad Brown-Brown is a premium Merino lambswool half pad designed to relieve pressure on your horse’s withers while promoting airflow for all-day comfort.

-
Wither-focused design: Clear spine swept up at the wither to relieve pressure and improve fit by enhancing airflow underneath the saddle.
-
Breathability and moisture management: Fully breathable, Merino fibres wick moisture up to 40 times their own weight, helping to keep the horse cool in summer and warm in winter.
-
Comfort and support: Wool contact promotes muscle relaxation and supports better circulation while maintaining a gentle, non-irritating touch.
-
Size and colour: Brown/Brown; Sizes Small (up to 16"), Medium (about 17–17.5"), Large (up to 18").
-
Compatibility: Can be used in conjunction with a saddle cloth for added protection and a tidy look.
-
Care instructions: Remove hair, dirt and dried sweat with a stiff brush. Use human hair conditioner on lambswool areas, then machine wash at 30°C on a cool/wool cycle or hand wash with non-bio powder or liquid. Air dry near a heat source and avoid tumble drying or strong fabric conditioners. Straighten the cotton fabric after washing. Note: dye from black wool items may transfer onto lighter coats.
The pad helps reduce pressure on the withers, distributes saddle load more evenly, and supports comfortable, relaxed riding. Its moisture-wicking, temperature-regulating Merino keeps the horse comfortable across seasons, while the breathable fabric prevents overheating during summer rides and aids warmth in chilly conditions. Ideal for horses with high withers or sensitive backs, this pad enhances saddle stability when used with a standard saddle cloth, making everyday schooling, hacking, and longer rides smoother for both horse and rider.
