The biggest advantage of a riding cushion is being able to feel back movements better. In addition, riding pads are very light and have thick padding, which can be very comfortable for the horse's back. The close contact to the horse's back also allows you to improve your seat, thigh and weight aids, as you can feel the horse's movements better. The bareback pad is also suitable for children and horseback riding beginners, because the balance on horseback is trained.
The riding cushion is particularly suitable for rides at a walk or short training sessions. Since a riding pad has no saddle tree, you should ride without stirrups to avoid pressure peaks on the stirrup attachment. The pressure is well cushioned by the thick padding of the riding pad, but you should not sit on the pad constantly or for a very long time. A saddle that fits is better for show jumping, very long rides or intensive training sessions. You should also compare your own body weight to your horse's musculature. A riding pad is usually not suitable for heavy riders (over 90 kg). If the horse's back muscles are well developed, you have a good seat and you only do short laps, you can use a lambskin saddle or a physiopad.
