Choosing The Best Riser Pad

Some horses’ conformation makes saddle fitting a bit more challenging. Your saddle should sit level on your horse's back, both back to front, and side to side. If you notice your saddle’s cantle is lower than the pommel, or vice versa, a riser pad may be able to help.

Riser horse pads are a great tool for improving the balance of your saddle. Many riders have saddles that are tipped back, which affects the rider's position while they ride. If your saddle has a cantle that is not level with the pommel, a saddle riser pad may be beneficial. If your horse has a low back, rear riser pads for horses who have sway backs or downward sloping backs can be especially beneficial.

Frequently Asked Questions About Riser Pads

Does my saddle need a riser pad?
