Kieffer Merino Half Pad [Colour: Navy] [size: small]

The Kieffer Merino Half Pad is a premium natural sheepskin half pad designed to provide cushioning, moisture management and comfort beneath the saddle.

Made from high-quality, medically tanned Australian Merino sheepskin, the dense natural wool creates a soft layer between the saddle and horse while helping absorb moisture during work. Its wide, clear spine is shaped to keep the saddle channel unobstructed and reduce unnecessary bulk along the topline.

Natural Merino wool is highly absorbent and breathable, helping manage heat and perspiration while providing resilient cushioning beneath the saddle. The pad is finished with understated Kieffer logo detailing for a smart, classic appearance.

Suitable for use during training or competition, this half pad is a practical choice for riders who prefer the natural feel and moisture-handling properties of genuine sheepskin.
