The tangible benefits for your horse
Designed and developed by saddle fitters, because even a perfectly fitted saddle isn't everything.
01
Freedom of movement
Give your horse greater comfort by eliminating pressure points from the saddle. Increase stride length by freeing the shoulders. Better locomotion for improved performance.
02
Back protection
Reduce back pain and the risk of injury. A healthy back means fewer costly veterinary and osteopathic treatments.
03
Horse-rider harmony
Free the connection between horse and rider. Without equipment-related constraints, the aids are more precise and trust is strengthened.
What your horse experiences, session after session
Without a D3O® half-pad
- Impacts of up to 4x the rider's weight
- Microtraumas that accumulate over time
- Less fluid locomotion and reduced range of movement
With a D3O® half-pad
- Shocks are absorbed
- Movement is freed, with greater stride length and better locomotion
- The horse's back stays protected over time
