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!
 
Ceramic far infrared radiation (cFIR) technology:
  • Increases blood flow, promoting body’s natural healing process
  • May help decrease inflammation
  • Improves recovery
  • Protects from oxidative stress

Instructions for Use:
Washing Instructions:
• Machine wash in cold to warm water
• Use mild detergent
• Hang to dry
• Do not use bleach or fabric softener
• Do not put in dryer

Instructions for first use:
• Because different horses take different lengths of time to get used to ceramic technology, introduce your horse to SmartTherapy™ ThermoBalance™ slowly
• Start with 1 to 3 hours per day for the first few days and observe your horse’s response
• After 4 or 5 days, if your horse seems acclimated, you may gradually increase the number of hours the product is worn each day if desired
• If your horse is accustomed to wearing gear unsupervised and it will be safe for them to do so, consider having your horse wear the product overnight to maximize SmartTherapy’s benefits

SmartTherapy® ThermoBalance® Ceramic Dressage Saddle Pad is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 29.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.
Date published: 2024-05-07
Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.
Date published: 2024-01-11
Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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!
Date published: 2023-03-20
Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this saddle pad I bought a black one early spring and love it so much decided to buy a navy one.
