physio ride on June 13, 2020 Reviewer: Deborah Boyle from Redondo Beach, CA United States   very comfy for me. however due to high withers and swayback it slips back. I do not think there is anyway to avoid.  with or w/o a breastcollar.  But we use it everyday and we make it work for us. Was this review helpful to you?

Great product! March 2, 2020 Reviewer: REBECCA JONES from West Chester, PA United States   I have ridden exclusively bareback for the past 5 years.  I have tried all the other pads, this one is hands down the best.  Super comfy for both horse and rider.  My only suggestion would be for the western style with pockets to be offered with front d rings for a chest collar - had to purchase the english style because of this but I love it anyway.

Better than any saddle! December 2, 2019 Reviewer: Patricia Kowalski King from Muncie, IN United States   I own a Standardbred who is nearly impossible to fit for a saddle - huge, long withers, some atrophy behind the shoulders, and a short, straight back. And a prominent spine even when he is in good flesh. I prefer riding bareback but it was uncomfortable for both of us. The first ride on my Physio was amazing! I could not get over how comfortable & secure I felt, and my horse carried himself in a way I'd not experienced before- long, low, and so relaxed. Every ride since has been better. I did read reviews and used a 22" girth, which was perfect. I also use an all-purpose English pad under my Physio, as my horse is sensitive to the grippy material. Thank you for making such a great product! Was this review helpful to you?

Love Hate relationship/ an expensive purchase March 31, 2019 Reviewer: Anonymous Person from United States   I love the pad in general. If I had it to do over I would not get the physio inserts.  The inserts did not come installed in the ‘pockets’ . I thought I could remove the pockets and take it for a quick ride without...well there are large Velcro squares that hold the pockets to the underside of the pad. So you can not ride the pad without the pockets unless you put another saddle pad under the bareback pad and all of a sudden this bareback pad is almost as much trouble as a real saddle.  Also I am trying to figure out if I can convert the English rigging to a Dee ring for Western type rigging. The two English billets with the connector pad that slides off the billets is a pain for this traditional Western rider.  Finding an English girth that is short enough to allow the pad to fit my smaller horses has not been easy.  The pad is super pricey and not 100% what I had hoped for.

Great for my 20-year-old draft cross July 2, 2018 Reviewer: Catherine Hiller from Rochester, NY United States   My 17-hand horse has never had much of a topline - and he wasn't ridden for about a year and a half before I got him so the muscles were further atrophied.  He has a very good, heavy dressage saddle with a Mattes shimmed pad but I wanted to ride him bareback.  His back is so bony riding without a pad is out of the question.  The Physio Ride-On Bareback Pad is perfect for us.  The extra shimming makes my horse's back super comfortable for me and I'm sure for him.  I love the non-slip underside.  The only drawbacks: with the v-girthing side panels attached my dressage girth is way too long for the pad and I had to buy a shorter girth for it.; and though the design and construction are high quality I would have preferred more sturdy materials like real suede and leather billets.  Other than that, I am extremely pleased with the product and price.

great saddle but difficult inserting the pads May 30, 2018 Reviewer: JEAN LARSON from Princeton, MN United States   I love this saddle!  I would have given five stars if the pads were inserted prior to arrival - instead, it took me quite some time to finally get them inserted and fit properly.

Sitting on a cloud December 28, 2017 Reviewer: Nicole Baar from Roswell, GA United States   Everyone who's sat in it say its the comfiest thing ever! Definitely better than any saddle I've owned. Somehow the ride-on leaves tons of spine clearance. My horse is an elder thoroughbred with huge withers and it just brushes his back with the medium-thickness pads inserted, but sweat marks afterwards make it seem like its not a problem, and he certainly doesn't act like it is. I would 100% recommend this pad. Its a touch large, though no bigger than any other pad Ive seen really, but I do have a small Arabian (14h) that it just swallows up. My huge thoroughbred uses a 56" girth and I use a 22" dressage girth with this pad but its still high enough that I don't (can't) use those extra inserts between the girth and saddle. Still, it looks good on him. Doesn't slip. I'm not sure if I would suggest getting the physio over the regular ride-on, since even without the extra padding it seems perfect, but I don't regret spending the little extra in the slightest! Best bareback pad ever. Was this review helpful to you?

I am elated!!! July 6, 2017 Reviewer: Malia S from Davie, FL United States   I've owned a barefoot Cheyenne since before the VPS. Then we got a new Cheyenne with the VPS. Great concept! So when I saw this bareback pad I knew it would be perfect, and it is! I hack with or even work with it. Its marvelous!!! It's a bit pricey but oh so worth the money!!

The only thing we ride in March 30, 2017 Reviewer: Kaleigh B. from Western NC   I was fortunate enough to receive one of these as a gift just over a year ago. I have a 21 year old Spotted Saddle Horse mare who is petite and round at the same time and thus, I have a hard time fitting her. We love this pad!!! The only thing I have trouble with is the billet pads are constantly trying to slip off when I'm carrying it around. I also use a quilted English pad underneath it as I've found that the under-portion (the detachable Physio part) leaves significant "saddle" marks along the length of her spine. I use it in conjunction with a leather breeching and fleece breast collar (awesome D-rings) and we hit the mountain trails! I'm hoping to get the sheepswool seat saver and a nice barefoot saddle pad soon, too :) http://tinypic.com/r/29fnme/9 Was this review helpful to you?
