Nice pad, works well for two very differently shaped horses

I ordered this pad after my quarter horse gelding started acting back sore after a ride. He is very wide and although my saddle fits him properly it tends shift due to his lack of withers. He has been much more comfortable with this pad with just a thin pad beneath it and it has also stopped the problem I was having with the saddle shifting. I have also been using it on my mustang colt and it seems to be comfortable for him but he has only had a few rides - he is much narrower with prominent…

Pros
  • Good product!
Cons
  • The pad may not fit all saddle sizes, limiting its versatility

Excellent product. Small on western saddles

Product works as advertised. Stated very prominently designed for english saddles but will work with western. I use it on my western saddle and while it just covers the tree points on the withers it would be nice if a larger one was made specifically for western saddles. Again it is very prominently stated for english.

Pros
  • Bought this to use on my pony, he loves it and so does everyone else in the barn!
Cons
  • The gel padding may become too warm and uncomfortable during hot weather

Love this pad! best in my review

I love this pad. It fits great and it works very well. When they hopefully make a cover for it so it doesn't get so dirty in the tack room, I will love to buy it and also more of the kavallerie products.

Pros
  • I like the pad, but it picks up hair and lint like crazy!
Cons
  • The pad may slip out of place during fast movements, causing discomfort to both horse and rider

Fantastic product! Must have!

Love love love this pad! Takes all the concussion for the horse and rider. My horse moved move freely and my back hurts less.

Pros
  • This saddle pad is perfect for any discipline, including dressage, jumping, and eventing.
Cons
  • The pad may be too thick, leading to decreased feeling and connection between horse and rider

Works so well! in my review

Love this product. Really helped my horse's high withers and thin frame. Raised the pommel and tree up off his sore back. Highly recommend.

Pros
  • Ex’s toy what we needed under the saddle. Would definitely recommend!
Cons
  • The Kavallerie Gel Saddle Pad is too bulky and may limit your horse's range of motion

The horse said THANK YOU

Great pad. My horse really appreciated it today it allowed his shoulders to move freely and the saddle was balanced - seat was lifted just right amount without tipping on his shoulders. It also was much more comfortable for me than the lollipop rear riser, which is too springy.

Pros
  • It is perfect for both novice and expert riders alike.
Cons
  • The gel material may not provide enough support or cushioning for elderly or injured horses

I got the front riser pad to help balance out my saddle while my out-of-shape horse develops his topline a bit, but the front rise was just a bit too extreme for us and caused some significant bridging of the saddle - I didn't even ride with it, I just took it off and put it back in the box. If you need a good deal of lift, this pad is probably worth it, with a caveat: I don't know how much the gel would compress down with a rider's weight but unless it squishes down a good bit, my concern…

Pros
  • ‎Kavallerie
Cons
  • The pad may not be suitable for horses with high withers or prominent spines

Great pad & awesome customer service!

Wonderful pad ! It's very thick & provides great comfort for the horse & rider. I got he pad after the vet said our horse was back sore. After using the pad he seems much more comfortable. If you have any trouble with the pad , the customer service is top notch & really took care of the problem quickly. I was very impressed.

Pros
  • ‎ReiterGel
Cons
  • The pad may require frequent washing and maintenance, leading to added expenses

The quality of this gel pad is just as described and their customer service is excellent. I would recommend this pad for any riding to cushion the horses back. Ordered the middle riser and it performed perfectly to prevent bridging that was occurring on our older horse.

Cons
  • The pad may not fit well with certain saddle designs or brands, limiting your options

Durable and comfortable. For smaller saddles only

Durable, wash and wear, tons of ventilation, and stays put. My MFT mare has high withers, a short back, and is round. Her high withers don't seem to help keep the saddle in place and only serve to push the saddle backwards on her already short back. I can't use a pad and a blanket because they will be too bulky and cause slippage. This pad would have to be placed directly on the horse if it is being used for slipping problems.Update: I have been using this for almost a year and it still looks…

Cons
  • The gel material may harden over time, making it less effective in reducing pressure points

Works great on a thin-skinned

Works great on a thin-skinned, high withered TB mare. I was able to replace a bulkier lift pad, and feel closer, better contact but more supported. I may have to get a shorter girth. I find with her a thicker saddle pad works better. Nice product, thanks!

Pros
  • really like this; it helps the saddle stay in place
Cons
  • The gel material may absorb sweat and become smelly over time

Great for high withers!

Great for my 16.3 hand, refined mare with high withers. It is not as effective on my 17 hand wide gelding. Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • ‎Equestrian
Cons
  • The gel material may take longer to dry after washing or cleaning

Looked like the description, but this one was purchased by mistake & immediately returned for the right one. That's my feedback!

Pros
  • The pad is lightweight, making it easy to carry and perfect for any horse show.
Cons
  • The pad may not be suitable for horses with sensitive backs or spinal issues

Fits under my roping saddle!

I read the reviews on this pad and really liked it. I was worried it would not fit under my roper saddle, even though it is only a 14" seat. My 3 year old quarter horse colt went through his lanky high wither stage and my saddle was putting too much pressure on him. I couldnt buy a $250 gel pad for some time and decided to buy this as a place holder. My saddle has full QH bars. It fits perfectly underneath, the material keeps it in place on the pad, and I see a noticeable difference in my colts

Pros
  • ‎Jone-Shou Industrial Co. Ltd.
Cons
  • The gel material may become too sticky when exposed to sweat and moisture

Amazing on my difficult to fit horse

I have a 25 year old warmblood mare with very high withers and a wide flat back. It has been impossible to find a saddle to fit her odd conformation. Wither relief pads resulted in the saddle tipping back. Shims on fleece pads added way too much bulk to an already wide horse. In desperation I ordered the standard gel pad. It is perfect. The standard pad was enough to bring the saddle off her withers, without tipping the saddle back. It retained the spine clearance she requires. The saddle sits…

Pros
  • Sports & Outdoors
Cons
  • The gel material may slip out of place if your saddle is not properly secured or fitted

So far I really like it!

So far so good! I've only had it a few weeks, but use it almost daily. It hasn't slipped, and keeps my saddle in place as well as provides a nice cushion for my pony. He doesn't need a riser or correctional pad, so I have the all over thickness one. I use it with my Marcel Toulouse 16.5 close contact Anise saddle (sp?) Its a bit long on the sides, but I don't want to cut it so I'm fine with that. I did just do a schooling show with a contoured pad that I've only used once (gotta keep those show

Pros
  • The Kavallerie Gel Saddle Pad is the ultimate answer to achieving a comfortable and safe riding experience.
Cons
  • The pad may not adhere well to certain types of saddle cloth or fabric

Good for a western saddle!

I am using this Gel Half Pad for a western saddle. My horse has a contoured back and this pad gives good contact on all parts of the saddle. I like the tackiness of the pad because it stays in place on top of the 1/2" contoured saddle pad. I have tried other bridge pads that have a tendency to slide around. With this one, I have good comfort for my horse and can still use my western pad.

Pros
  • ‎Taiwan
Cons
  • The pad may be too heavy for storage and transportation, adding to your workload

FANTASTIC PAD! We even put this pad on several .

I ordered this pad in a quest to find something other than my $275 custom half pad that would fit my saddle and all the horses I ride. I have used this on a variety of horses from a Gypsy, TBs, and many warmbloods of various size and shape. This pad fit all of them well and my saddle never moved an inch. We have a few very wide flat backed warmbloods that my saddle would shift from side to side on but not with this pad. I loaned my pad out to a few riders in the barn to try as well and…

Pros
  • ✅ Use It For Any Event. Help your horse perform with ease and comfort. Have a saddle pad that supports its back during dressage, jumping, or training. Yes, you don’t need to find another set saddle pads for each event. Kavallerie soothing gel pad has got your horse’s back covered (literally).
Cons
  • The gel material may be too soft, leading to decreased stability and control during rides

Very Good pad, but very thick

Very Good pad, but very thick, so my saddle sat higher, and the "jelly" pad was a little difficult to manage. My horse did not need something this thick as his shoulders carry too much fat and he is very round, thus my need for a pad the would keep my saddle from slipping

Pros
  • It comes with a money-back satisfaction guarantee, giving customers peace of mind
Cons
  • The pad may not be suitable for riders with allergies or sensitivity to certain materials

I love my front rider

I love my front rider! My saddle fits my young horse quite well so I wanted something thin with a gradual rise in the front since he is underdeveloped and has high withers. This pad did the trick! Very comfy and I feel very close to him due to the thinness of the pad.

Pros
  • ‎1.88 Kilograms
Cons
  • The gel material may react poorly with certain cleaning solutions or detergents
