Impact Correction Half Pad

The Impact Correction Half Pad is the perfect choice of half pads for younger horses and horses that change a lot in body shape. This is important as the Impact Correction Half Pad allows you to constantly adjust and correct the position of the saddle when needed.
Designed to absorb the shock and to adjust the fit of the saddle. This half pad will reduce and filter the abnormalities caused during exercise. As a result, giving both horse and rider a better experience when riding.
Thanks to a better fitting saddle position, you will find less pressure is exerted on the muscles of the horse and therefore your horse will be able to move more freely, which of course is an added bonus when competing, whether it show jumping, dressage or eventing.

How does the Impact Correction Half Pad Work?

Supplied with six felt inserts that allow you to adjust the half pad to the shape of the horses back. Adjusting the saddle and making it a better fit will benefit any horse in the long run. Just check out our amazing video that shows how the correction half pad can work for you.

The impact protection comes from Kentucky’s shock absorbing memory foam combined with the innovative 3D spacer material. The 3D spacer fabric itself is shock absorbing and thanks to the use of these clever innovative materials, means that Kentucky have created a technical half pad that is 20 to 30% lighter than most other pads on the market today.

As mentioned above not only is the pad lighter, but by using a technical half pad like this one and being able to adjust the saddle will mean overall a better fitting saddle. As a result this allows for improved communication between horse and rider as you will still have close contact.

What’s inside?

The Impact Correction Half Pad has 3 pockets on each side filled with 3 felt layers of different thicknesses (2mm, 3mm and 4mm). The layers can be combined or used separately depending on the correction you need going from 2mm to 9mm. To minimize the pressure of the saddle and to maximize the shock absorption the half pad is included with a 18mm memory foam. This memory foam provides ultimate protection and is used around the world in the army and for extreme sports.

As a result, using this material will ensure the best protection for your horse’s back. Thanks to the cushioning effect of the 3D spacer, the correction pad is highly breathable and air permeable to avoid the horse’s back from heating up.

The cut for the withers is made of artificial leather and offers comfort for your horse, as their is less pressure on the horse’s spine. To ensure the position of the half pad while riding, the pad is provided with a silicone grip pattern.

How do wash the Half Pad Correction Impact?

Remove the felt layers on the inside of the half pad. The half pad is now machine washable at 30 degrees. Allow the half pad to dry naturally in the air. For the best result we advise consulting a saddle fitter, osteopath or veterinary to adjust the shims to the correct thickness.
