To support you with establishing good riding seat in the best possible way Bent Branderup has developed the Bent Branderup® Education Pad.Video: How to stuff your pad! !!! New!!! Each pad comes standard with two retaining rings (D-rings) for attaching handle straps or your treat bag. The rings are attached to the front edge of the pad and are available in silver or brass. This unique tool is simple and flexible like a bareback pad, but it has cushions like a saddle and an additional seat cushion. The cushions can be changed and adjusted easily, so that the pad fits the horse's back perfectly. With a few steps you can also change the seat cushion and make it suit your needs. Why an Education Pad? The Bent Branderup® Education Pad provides the best comfort for the rider's hip. It allows you to stretch your legs and to find a relaxed seat and it is the first bareback pad that can support a precise balance of the pelvis. Experience shows that many riders who use a conventional bareback pad tend to ride with a hollow back or a round back. The Education Pad can be fitted to both the horse's back and to the rider's individual anatomy. The fitting for the rider is easy; you can do it by yourself or with the help of your trainer. Discover how the stable balance of your pelvis will allow you to refine your primary aid - the seat. The Education Pad is flexible like a bareback pad and has the most important quality of a saddle: it connects the horse's back to a relaxed and balanced seat. Caution: The Education Pad does not have a regular saddle tree and no front iron! It is a tool developed for the education of horses and riders in the Academic Art of Riding. It is not suitable for the use of stirrups! Fitting: The Education Pad is very flexible and therefore it is a good match for most horses and riders. We want to help our customers as best as we can and would like to satisfy all our customers.

For the best possible training in a good academic seatAttention: In the following text you will find the description of the Educationpad "Felt". Please note: the feeling of the felt pad is not the same as the feeling of the leather pad. It is sligtly less precise due to the different material. Simple and flexible like a riding pad, it has the elegance and features of a saddle, with a saddle cushion and seat pad. The cushions are variable and can be adjusted to the shape of the horse's back with little effort. To change the seat padding and adapt the saddle to the rider's anatomy, just a few simple steps are enough. Video: How to stuff your pad!Why a training pad? The Bent Branderup® training pad not only gives the rider better comfort in the hips and thus a longer leg and a relaxed seat, the training pad is the first riding pad that gives the rider precise balance in the pelvis. Experience has shown that the rider on a conventional riding pad or lambskin saddle often tends to have a hollow back or a back that is too rounded (crooked back) for various reasons. With the training pad you can change both the saddle cushions and the seat insert yourself, giving you the opportunity to find a relaxed and balanced seat. Discover how the balance of your pelvis gives you more precise sitting aids. The training pad is an optimal link between the rider's seat and the horse's back and with its help the rider learns to feel and guide his horse with the seat. Attention: The "Felt" training pad is a tool for training riders and horses in academic horsemanship! It does not have a solid tree or gullet and is expressly not suitable for use with stirrups! Fit: The “Felt” training pad is very variable in its fit on the horse. We would be happy to answer your questions.

The seamless connection between horse and rider Bent Branderup is always looking for high-quality products that he can use himself and recommend to his students. Very often he cannot find a suitable solution and therefore designs his own equipment, including the Bent Branderup® training saddle. Why a training saddle? On the way to school riding, the training saddle comes into play. The training saddle has a leather tree with head and cantle irons, large saddle cushions and a seat that can be adjusted using a slide-in compartment. The leg rest is made of soft, thin leather, as you would expect from a saddle seat or saddle cushion. The gullet iron can be exchanged and/or individually formed (cold mechanical). Combined with the straight seat and the traditionally simple design, this enables precise placement of the rider and fine aids that help train the horse. To ensure the optimal fit, each saddle is individually manufactured after a test and, similar to the training pad, can be manually adjusted to the shape of the horse's back and the rider's natural hip and pelvic position. Just like the rider's pelvic swing, the horse's freedom of movement remains unhindered, while the leather tree adapts to the anatomy of horse and rider thanks to its maximum flexibility, even in more demanding lessons. The saddle tree is available in different versions: for flat or higher withers (depending on the horse)with more or less waist (depending on the rider and possibly also the horse)The saddle pads can be selected for horses with higher withers, for example, with more volume in the front area. The middle cushion area over which the rider sits can be designed with different waists and can also be reupholstered later by a saddler. The adjustable seat As with the BB® training pad, the insert pocket in the upper seat area can be shaped by the rider themselves with wool according to their current needs. - This is about balance and providing the best possible help. Depending on body type, extent of movement, individual preference and instinct as well as level of training, there are a variety of possibilities and requirements...everything relates to the horse and rider. The pockets can be accessed via a Velcro fastener. Individualization and adjustment - Your training saddle will be individually adjusted to you and your horse. Contact Willy Meyer and arrange your test appointment. During the appointment, the test saddle will be put together to suit you and your horse so that you can get an initial feel for the saddle during a test ride. Your horse will then be precisely measured. Once the technical part is done, it's time for the design. Let your creativity take over your mind and body! Freedom of choice: Color of base and seat leather (black, dark brown, red brown, nature)Color of girth straps (black or dark brown)Buckle color (silver or brass)Type of buckles (flower screw or screw with ring)Color of the thread (black, dark brown, crème or white)  Caution: The Education Saddle is a tool developed for the education of horse and rider in the Academic Art of Riding! It does have a flexible leather tree and a head as well as an efter iron and is suited for the use of stirrups. However, we would like to clarify that it is designed for working in an academic way! Fitting: The Education Saddle is very flexible and therefore it is a good match for most horses and riders. We want to help our customers as best as we can and would like to satisfy all our customers.

Complete connection between horse and rider For school riding, Bent Branderup designed a saddle that visually and functionally meets the requirements of academic horsemanship. Why a school saddle? Experience and good craftsmanship contribute to the training of body and mind; the right tools provide the basis for unhindered development. A saddle should fit the horse and rider and at the same time allow any kind of movement to be felt, both from horse to rider and from rider to horse. The school saddle has a leather tree with head and cantle irons, large saddle cushions and an adjustable seat. The only difference to the training saddle are the galleries. Tree and pillow variation are same. The leg layer is made of soft, supple leather. The gullet iron can be exchanged and/or individually formed (cold mechanical). The saddle tree is available in different versions: for flat or higher withers (depending on the horse)with more or less waist (depending on the rider and possibly also the horse)The saddle pads can be selected for horses with higher withers, for example, with more volume in the front area. The adjustable seat The "slide pocket" in the upper seat area can be accessed by loosening the two front screws and then lifting the seat. This gives you two filling slots through which you can push wool to shape the seat according to your current needs. (This can be done by a saddler or by the skilled rider himself, with the skill being less about filling the seat and more about the screws.) It's about balance and providing the best possible help. Depending on body type, extent of movement, individual preferences and instinct as well as level of training, there are a variety of possibilities and requirements...everything relates to the horse and rider. Service The saddle assembly is designed for a quick/cost-effective and versatile service where you can try out a lot "shortly". To ensure the optimal fit, each saddle is individually manufactured after various tests and, similar to the training pad and the training saddle, can be manually adjusted to the shape of the horse's back and the rider's natural hip and pelvic position. Its structure makes it possible to vary the center of gravity at any time, to clearly feel the direction of the swing from the hindquarters and to guide it precisely through the torso and shoulders to the hand. The agony of choice: Leather color for seat and base leather (black, dark brown, red brown, natural)Color of the straps (black or dark brown)Fitting color (silver or brass)Type of fittings (flower screw or screw with ring)Seam color (black, dark brown, cream or white) Attention: The school saddle is a tool for training riders and horses in academic horsemanship! It has a flexible leather tree and a head and cantle iron and is suitable for use with stirrups. However, we would like to point out that it is designed for work in an academic sense! Fit: The school saddle is very variable in its fit on the horse. We would be happy to answer your questions. We expressly and exclusively want satisfied customers.

The Bent Branderup® "Dressage" This saddle opens the door between two worlds. The Bent Branderup® Dressage combines the modern look of a dressage saddle with the flexibility of our Education and School Saddles. The special feature: the Bent Branderup® Dressage is equipped with the same large, soft panels that are characteristic for all our saddles. They distribute the rider's weight over the entire contact area and at the same time allow a unique closeness to the horse's back. The saddle rim creates the typical feeling of a dressage saddle, while the seat can be adjusted to the rider and individually padded in just a few steps. In addition, the saddle has a flexible leather tree as well as a head and an efter iron, which give it the necessary stability. High-quality leather meets loving craftsmanship, just as the innovative technology of our traditional saddles meets contemporary design. The academic spirit is dedicated to lifelong learning and openness. Let's build on the proven, historical foundation of the art of riding and create new perspectives together through vision, experience and tolerance. Customizing and Adjustment Each Bent Branderup® Dressage will be fitted individually. If you contact us, we make an appointment for a test. For the appointment we will bring a test saddle that we can easily adjust to you and your horse for a little ride to get a first impression and a feeling for the saddle. The test ride is followed by a precise measurement process. We take measurements at five different points that document the shape of the horse's back, determine the size of the head iron and decide for the optimal cushion form as well as the required panel distance (freedom for the spine). If you have questions about the saddle or if you wonder whether this is the right tool for you, please do not hesitate to contact us.   Technical details: Size: customised productionBack length (front edge to back edge of the pad): 49cmSeat length: 34 cmFlap (thread of the seat leather to the bottom of the flap): 39 cmSeat cushion: individually adjustable through wool filling   Included in the delivery: Saddle 200g wool filling Warranty card Velcro knee roll (optional)   Available in the shop: Saddle cover Saddle blanket Girth Stirrups Stirrup straps (have to be ordered separately if you decide for the safety stirrup bars)   Attention: This item cannot be exchanged/revoked.   Minor color changes are possible due to varying light conditions during photography, as well as production-related.
