Kentucky Half Pads

Kentucky Horsewear Half Pad

Established in 2011, Kentucky® Horsewear rapidly became a popular brand throughout the USA, UK, and Europe. They continuously invest in the latest technological advancements in material manufacturing, and the company’s strict production processes result in top-quality products that are safe, strong, and stylish. Here at Discount Equestrian, we are a proud stockist of top quality Kentucky® Horsewear products.

The half pad is a revolutionary product in terms of comfort for your horse. Many half pads have shock absorbing properties, therefore minimising the concussion upon your horse’s back and reducing the risk of discomfort or injury. Horses change shape throughout their lifetime as they age and their level of fitness fluctuates – many professional saddlers recommend the use of a high-quality half pad, to maximise your horse’s comfort beneath the saddle while you both await your next appointment with a qualified saddler. Here at Discount Equestrian, we stock only the finest half pads from prestigious equestrian brands, so we’re proud to present our fantastic Kentucky Half Pads range by Kentucky® Horsewear.

Here’s what Kentucky® Horsewear has to say about some of their best-selling half pads…

* Kentucy Anatomic Absorb Half Pad – “We have developed a half pad with the same composition as our others, but a lot thinner (2.5 cm thick). This improves the contact between rider and horse, whilst still offering great protection to the horse’s back. Thanks to the 5-layer system, the pad absorbs shocks and minimizes the pressure of the saddle and rider. The outside lining is made of microfiber with ventilation holes for quick dry and anti-slip. Because of the reduced thickness of the half pad, it offers maximum freedom and stability and reduces back pain. It also offers extra comfort to the horse and rider. The anatomic shape ensures the freedom of the withers and spine. Because of the artificial leather edge, the Half Pad Anatomic Absorb looks very fancy.”

* Intelligent Absorb Thin Half Pad – “The Half Pad Intelligent Absorb Thin offers high quality shock absorption to the horse’s back thanks to the memory foam inside. This half pad is ideal to use at shows or at home in combination with our Saddle Pad Intelligent Absorb or with our regular Saddle Pad. The Half Pad Intelligent Absorb can be opened up to take out the memory foam before washing. This way the half pad dries more quickly. Each Half Pad Intelligent Absorb has white piping with a brown artificial leather edge to ensure a fancy look. This half pad is 15mm thick. The Half Pad Intelligent Absorb is machine washable at 30°C.”

Kentucky Sheepskin Half Pad

Kentucky Sheepskin Absorb Half Pad – “Thanks to its 5-layer system, the Sheepskin Half Pad Absorb works perfectly to even out and minimize the pressure of the saddle and to absorb the shocks from the rider. It offers better comfort for both rider and horse. The inside linings are a succession of an absorb fabric, a memory foam and a shock-absorbing gel. The horse’s withers are relieved of all pressure because of the shaped, thin layer of artificial leather in the half pad. Our Sheepskin Half Pad Absorb offers maximum protection, pressure relief and comfort to the horse. Thanks to its artificial sheepskin, this Sheepskin Half Pad Absorb is cruelty-free and easy to maintain. It is 4cm thick.”
