Tartare Bareback Pad

Tartare Bareback Pad

The Gaston Mercier’s Tartar Pad was designed to provide you with the best grip possible for your seat when riding bareback, with a girth shaped for your horse’s optimal comfort.
Offering both freedom and close contact, this bareback pad is a great alternative to the saddle.
It can also be used as an education pad for your horse.

• Withers free to lift this sensitive area
• Leather seat with memory foam for better seating
• Steadying handle for safety
• Front leg stops to fix your thighs and ensure better grip at all gaits
• V-strap system for your horse’s comfort

We offer a wide choice of colours for the leather parts, the Batyline fabric, and inserts, for a fully customized pad.

As soon as your order is confirmed, our workshop will be in touch to create your pad and inform you of its manufacturing deadline.

The ‘Sympamousse’ technology

Having been tested for 30 years by Gaston Mercier himself, this honeycombed foam is a breathable material that allows for sweat evacuation. It should be regularly cleaned with water but, drying instantly, it is suitable for intensive use.

Middle part

The water-repellent foam ensures maximum humidity release.

External part

Made of leather and Batyline, this highly breathable fabric is resistant to tears, UV, and high temperatures.
