Optimise your horse’s comfort, pressure distribution and saddle balance with the LeMieux ProSorb 2 Pocket Merino+ Half Pad, a corrective half pad designed to provide precise adjustment thanks to its removable insert system.
Combining the two-pocket ProSorb system with a soft Merino+ lining, this half pad allows you to adjust the support beneath the front and rear of the saddle while providing a comfortable surface against the horse. It is a particularly useful solution when small, temporary adjustments to saddle balance are required.
Two-pocket ProSorb system for personalised adjustment
The LeMieux ProSorb 2 Pocket Half Pad features two separate corrective zones, positioned at the front and rear.
Different inserts can be added or removed from these pockets to adjust the thickness of the half pad and fine-tune the support provided beneath the saddle.
This design allows small corrections to be made when the saddle balance needs to be slightly raised at the front or rear.
Removable inserts to adjust thickness
The ProSorb system allows the half pad configuration to be customised according to the horse’s conformation and the desired saddle balance.
By adding or removing inserts from the different pockets, the thickness and level of support beneath specific areas of the saddle can be progressively adjusted.
This versatility can be particularly useful when the horse’s muscle development or physical condition changes throughout the season.
However, a corrective half pad is not a substitute for a correctly fitted saddle. If there are any concerns about saddle fit, advice from a professional saddle fitter is recommended.
Merino+ for additional softness and comfort
The LeMieux Merino+ lining provides an exceptionally soft and comfortable surface against the horse.
It helps reduce friction and pressure points while providing additional comfort in the areas beneath the saddle.
Wool also naturally offers beneficial moisture-management and temperature-regulating properties, helping to maintain a comfortable environment beneath the saddle during exercise.
Pressure distribution and shock absorption
In addition to its corrective function, the half pad creates an extra layer between the horse and saddle, helping to distribute pressure more evenly.
Its construction also helps cushion the impact generated by the movements of both horse and rider, providing additional comfort during training and competition.
The combination of the ProSorb system and Merino+ lining therefore offers an effective balance of correction, support and comfort.
An adjustable solution for changes in your horse
A horse’s muscle development and body shape can change due to training, age, physical condition or periods of rest.
Thanks to its interchangeable insert system, the ProSorb 2 Pocket Merino+ Half Pad can be adjusted over time to accommodate certain changes and help maintain improved saddle balance.
This flexibility makes it a particularly practical option for riders looking for a versatile and adjustable solution.
