Ecogold introduces the Hunter Half Pad Canada’s premier equestrian textile engineers at Ecogold announce the new release of the Hunter Half Pad. One of the first of its kind, Ecogold’s hunter half pad is contoured to enhance saddle fit while protecting the horse’s back. A streamlined version of Ecogold’s popular Flip Half Pad, the Hunter Half Pad embodies elegance and suits the subtle needs of the hunter ring.

The hunter half pad is made from premium high resilience foam. The high resilience foam offers superior support and durability compared to conventional foam or memory foam. High resilience foam reduces pressure at the points of the greatest weight and quickly springs back after impact to provide additional support on the horse’s back.

Featuring two levels of protection, the hunter half pad comes with inserts featuring 1/2” of high resilience foam and 3/4” of high impact foam. With the option to remove the inserts, the hunter half pad can easily be adjusted for optimum fit. A non slip surface on both sides keeps the saddle secure. The Hunter Half Pad is hypoallergenic and machine washable. With four sizes, matching Ecogold’s hunter saddle pads, the Hunter Half Pad ensures a secure and subtle fit for your horse.

Professional rider Hope Glynn understands the needs of the hunter ring; having won multiple titles of 2015 USEF Horse of the Year, the 2014 WCHR West Coast Spectacular, and being the USHJA Southwest leading hunter derby rider: “I have always used and loved Ecogold hunter pads. They keep my saddles from slipping and I love their sleek look. The addition of the new hunter half pad allows for you to help horses with poor saddle fit, tight muscles, or need of a slight lift to feel their best and still look great.”
