All our saddle pads have removable / exchangeable inserts and can be individually padded through an easy velcro opening at the front of the pad. They create a reliable channel for the horses spine and we can vary and individualize the padding to suit you and your horse. These saddle pads are very well made and will last you many years. A therapeutic saddle pad is necessary at all times in conjunction with our Barefoot and Freeform saddles to ensure spinal clearance and additional shock absorption. The treeless saddle and the therapeutic pad really create one system and this applies to all treeless saddles on today's market.

Replacement inserts are available in different thickness on request.With all Grandeur pads you need to check your inserts at least twice a year and you will need to order replacement inserts if the material looks visibly squashed and compressed. Endurance riders and those of you who ride in two point position a lot and /or spend lots of time in the saddle using the Grandeur pad please check your inserts every 3 months. People who bought Grandeur pads prior to 2006 need to check their grey closed cell foam inserts now and order replacements if necessary.

An EasyClean, Theramatt pad or cloth can be used under these saddle pads. If you use any other type of material or pad underneath this may interfere with the function of the Grandeur. You can use any pad between the Grandeur pad and the saddle, this is recommended for long rides and / or heavier riders and also for jumping.


Colours available for saddle pads to suit the Cheyenne and Freeform saddles: black, brown, dark green, wine red
and royal blue

Colors available for pads to suit the London: black, wine red and royal blue


All pads have black trims. The green, red and blue pads come in a velvet finish, the black and brown pads are a cotton finish.

The Barefoot ‘Physio’ pad, a therapeutic saddle pad system with even better shock absorption. Physio pads are available for all models of saddles we sell at Horse Connection.

This new saddle pad system was developed especially for the heavy rider and / or horses with protruding spinous processes and missing topline or high withers. The new pad system creates more clearance of the spine and consists of two components. Both layers are shock absorbing and are tightly connected with wide Velcro straps:

a) the layer closest to the horse can be padded individually. It is shaped for a narrower seat (twist) and has a Sympanova bottom which ads to stability. One set of standard 12mm inserts is included. These inserts can be removed for washing or exchanged through an easy Velcro opening at the front of the pad.

b) the top layer of the Physio pad is made from hardy top quality cotton with a felt underside, felt padding and a natural rubber top layer which keeps the saddle in place and further absorbs pressure.
Velcro straps are provided to attach the pad to the saddle’s D rings.
Both layers of the ‘Physio’ pad can be washed at 30 degrees after removal of the inserts.

Colors: black and brown only

Price: AU$324.50 inc GST

For extremely high withered and atrophied horses we ad additional layers of inserts, this is also recommended when a heavy person rides an even slightly atrophied horse.

natural rubber, 6mm additional insert $15.00 inc GST

natural rubber, 12mm superior to Poly foam $30.00 inc GST
