Overview
Why We Love This
Keep your horse’s back supple and loose with the SmartTherapy® ThermoBalance® Ceramic Dressage Saddle Pad. Ceramic particles in the pad’s ThermoBalance® underside reflect body heat back as soothing far infrared rays, making it ideal for cold-backed or hard-working horses. These rays penetrate beneath the skin to activate blood flow, which may help decrease inflammation. The exterior mesh layer not only provides ventilation, but style, too. Hints of metallic thread in the top layer's quilted fabric add subtle shine, giving the pad a luxe look. In addition to the therapeutic benefits of cFIR technology, the pad’s curving anatomical shape mimics your horse’s topline for further comfort and freer movement under saddle.
Also available in AP and Western cuts!

Highly recommended despite high maintenance
These saddle pads fit well and have a nice amount of structure. I like the lift at the pommel end to avoid pressure on withers. I get the feeling that the pads do seem to retain and emit a relaxing and soothing amount of heat to the horses’ backs. They tend to move more ‘swingy’ and loosen up quicker during warm-ups. Even with the heat retention properties, the pads have not been sweaty after riding, but I don’t know that I will continue using them once the weather warms up.They will most likely be put away until the cold returns in late fall. I really like these pads, and I think the horses really like them, too. However, be prepared to lower your expectations as to keeping them clean. Horse hair tends to really cling onto the fabric of these pads. A mild irritation over the winter has now become a real time-consuming issue now that the horses are shedding. If these pads were easier to keep clean, I would have given them 5 stars as they seem to have good therapeutic properties. I would still recommend them for the benefit they provide the horses.

Great Pad
My OTTB loves this pad. She stretches over her back and seems more free and relaxed in it. I am going to order another.

Lovely pad
Really warms my TBs back - he has been much more forward with this pad than he was before and really lifts and swings through.

Appears to be working well!
When I called to inquire about the saddle pad, the customer service personnel were well informed and helpful answering my questions. My horses had no sensitivity to the saddle pad, and it appears to be working well!

Terrific Pad
Great pad, especially for the price. Just the right amount of contour, good weight/thickness. It's also held up well so far!

Lovely
Love the saddle pad, and worked as advertised re: heating. Mostly coming here to let others know that it’s about 2” too short (front to back) for an 18” dressage saddle.

Would recommend over Back on Track!
Have ridden in this pad 4-5 times now and I think I like it more than Back on Track! My horse is happy and his back seems comfortable. Lower price point and is quite durable. Does not slip backwards or down on his withers. Cannot speak to how long it will last yet, but it has good wicking and my horse doesn’t sweat much underneath. Does collect some hair, but as expected. Would buy again!

Amazed at How Well This Works!
I was one of those people who has always wanted to try a saddle pad like this but the price always kept me away (and I was skeptical of how much of a difference it could make). I got this to share between my 7 year old OTTB and 23 year old quarter horse. My boys LOVE this pad!! It was funny watching them respond to it initially but it's gotten my thoroughbred so soft and accepting contact much faster than before. He's much more relaxed and is trying harder to carry himself. My rides have been so much different since using this in his training! My quarter horse seems to enjoy this pad as well and I thought it would be some additional comfort during our hacks and rides. If you are on the fence try this!
The only con is I ordered the black and it definitely looks like a deep navy in person. I thought I ordered the wrong color at first! Otherwise this is a fantastic product and I have recommended it to my friends.

Love these!
I bought one of these during the Black Friday event to see how it compared to my BOT pads. Very different in a good way. Super flexible and light. Better contour to my horse's back. I can't speak to the warm it might add by my horse seems happy. I've only owned and used it for about a week so I can't speak to the longevity. Very pretty design. I would love to see more colors!

Lovely saddle pad
I recently bought this saddle pad, hoping that it would help my horse loosen up her back and be more comfortable because of the ceramic inserts. It is a beautifully made, sturdy pad, and I love the colors(would be nice if it came in a greater range of colors). I haven't used it enough to be able to see a difference in how she warms up or moves, but it seems to be a good pad regardless.
