We haven’t just checked our saddles several times with different pressure measurements, but also a few saddle pads. Surprisingly the results showed how damaging a wrong blanket can be. One might be led to think: “A saddle blanket is just made from soft materials, nothing is going to squeeze” However peak pressure can actually occur just because the numnah is not anatomically shaped or reduces the gullet space too much – and sometimes it’s just the surrounding inseam which causes abbreviations.
Our saddle pads have been tested under the Barefoot and found to work ideal. The additional pressure absorbing effect is a great plus especially on longer rides and under a heavy rider. So the pads actually complete the Barefoot saddle system and they also enable an additional padding in order to adjust the saddle to a difficultly shaped back.
