After a severe accident and many agonizing months of being stalled, I was given permission to ride. This should be good news right? Unfortunately after so many months of limited activity; his back had atrophied and was hollow. I knew there wasn’t a saddle that was going fit or provide comfort for him or me. Thank goodness for this fantastic “saddle.” I couldn’t afford a custom made saddle, or buy something that wouldn’t fit once he was better. This VERY comfortable bare back pad is just what I needed.He has a VERY bony back so for me to say it is comfortable, I really mean it! He licks and chews when I place it on his back because he knows there are zero pinch points. He really loves it too. Thank you!

I purchased this saddle over two years ago and I love it. I have a very large (17.1) Warmblood with very high withers. When I started riding him this was the only saddle that I could find to fit his withers and allow me to ride is springy trot. I have taken it apart and washed it many times, every time this saddle looks brand new. This is the one saddle in my tack room that I will not allow others to barrow. It was worth every penny.

I love my Christ Lammfel bareback pad. I recently bought one and just rode all over the hill it my high withered 20 year old molly mule Lucy. Lots of trotting and absolutely no pain in my knees. I think Lucy likes it too. The grab strap is a necessity for me to get on her 16 and 1/2 hand height without a mounting block and I was able to pull myself up without it turning much. I don’t want to use anything else now!!
