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.

Riding a Bent Branderup® pad or saddle Riding a Bent Branderup® pad or saddle can feel like a curse or a blessing!
The most important thing here is correct seat filling that is individually adapted to the hips and pelvis. You can do the upholstery yourself using the included upholstery wool. It is also rare, but possible, for the cushion filling to not fit the horse. In this case, we strongly recommend contacting one of our saddler partners who can correct the filling for you.
Below we would like to give you a few suggestions and tips on how to properly and comfortably upholster the seat filling in order to get a nice riding experience.
This is how you find the optimal wool filling for the balance of your pelvis
On the School Saddle, the opening for padding the seat is located underneath the seat. To access this, the screws on the front gallery must be opened. The seat can then be raised and wool inserted to give your hip joint the freedom of movement it needs.
The balance of the pelvis is essential for a comfortable sitting experience and clear communication with the horse. A balanced pelvis also allows the upper body and legs to follow the movement of the hips without additional tension and not to interfere with them.
If the pelvis is not positioned correctly, compensatory tensions arise that affect the suppleness of horse and rider. This often manifests itself as pain while riding.
With the help of the right cushion filling, the pelvis comes into balance so that the knees and thighs can find the correct position without strain.
