Half Pads & Shims for Horses
A half pad adds cushion, grip or lift under your saddle, and shims let you fine-tune the fit. Choose by saddle cut first, then by build: shim pockets, memory foam, quilted cotton or fur.

Half pads built to fine-tune how your saddle sits
Five lines cover most needs: shim pockets, memory foam, quilted cotton and fur. Start with your saddle cut, then pick the build.
T3 shims
T3 shim half pads: adjust the fit under your saddle
T3 Shim Pro Impact is the half pad to pick when you want to adjust how your saddle sits. T3 describes three internal full-length pockets on each side, pre-filled with two 1/4" customizable shims, and the shims and Impact Protection inserts load through hook-and-loop openings. It comes in Dressage, AP and CC cuts, so match the cut to your saddle first.
T3 Shim Half Pads with No Inserts give you the same pocketed shape for riders who want to fill the pockets themselves, and the T3 Replacement Shim Set holds 12 shims, two per pocket. The Matrix Ergonomic Schooling Liners are made to sit under a half pad. Machine wash and line dry, with the inserts and shims removed first. Look elsewhere if you want a simple cushion with nothing to adjust.

EquiFit ImpacTeq
EquiFit ImpacTeq half pads: thin, shimmable and non-slip
EquiFit Thin ImpacTeq Half Pad w/UltraWool and Shims is the lower-profile choice here, at 1/2" thick with a full set of felt shims in discreet pockets. EquiFit builds it on an open-cell foam core with an air mesh layer, and the UltraWool trim is the part EquiFit says helps hold the saddle in place. The original ImpacTeq Half Pad runs 3/4" thick for riders who want more cushion.
The Thin ImpacTeq without shims has non-slip grip strips on the underside, and the EquiFit Non-Slip Contour Half Pad is 1/2" T-Foam covered in non-slip material. If you already own a shimmable ImpacTeq, the Felt Shim Set comes with six shims for horse size or four for pony size. Look elsewhere if you want a natural wool layer against the horse's back.

Weatherbeeta foam
Weatherbeeta memory foam half pads for a contoured feel
Weatherbeeta Memory Foam Comfort Half Pad is the straightforward foam pad in this group, built with an anti-slip design and a quick-dry lining that draws moisture away. Weatherbeeta lists superior shock absorption that distributes pressure evenly, and says it helps improve the fit of your saddle. The Fleece Edged version of the Comfort pad adds a softer finish at the edges.
Weatherbeeta Memory Foam Shimmable Half Pad adds four shim openings, two on each side, and includes eight memory foam shims. It has a suede top, fleece underneath and a channel for the spine. The three share a memory foam build, so the choice comes down to edge finish and whether you want shim pockets. Look elsewhere if you want a wool or fur layer against the horse.

Shires ARMA
Shires ARMA half pads: corrective and cotton options
Shires ARMA Deluxe Cotton Half Pad is the quilted option here, with a cotton quilted top, deep ProComfort SupaFleece lining and hardwearing patches on the wear areas. The contoured shape gives clearance under the gullet, and slot holes for retaining straps let it work over a saddlecloth. Deluxe Cotton suits riders who want a traditional quilted look that matches a cotton saddle pad.
ARMA Corrective Half Pad and Corrective Lined Half Pad each have four pockets and three sets of low compression shims, and both are listed as machine washable. The Lined version adds SupaFleece on the underside. Choose Deluxe Cotton for cushion and a quilted finish, and a Corrective pad when you want inserts to adjust. Look elsewhere if you want a foam core.

Horze fur
Horze fur half pads: a soft layer under your saddle
Horze Fur Half Pad is the simple soft layer on this page, with a diamond quilt pattern and attached billet straps. Horze lists it as a correction half pad to help with saddle position, and the care tag says machine wash in lukewarm water, then stretch and lay flat to air dry. Horze also sells a plain Half Pad with faux-fur at the withers and back edge.
Horze goes beyond fur with the ProComfort Half Pad, a memory foam pad with a removable fleece cover that unzips for washing, and the Harleigh Rising pads, which have a sheepskin lining and raise the saddle. Choose the Fur Half Pad for a quilted base. Look elsewhere if you need shims, since the Horze pads shown here are not listed with shim pockets.
Questions riders ask
Half pad questions riders ask
What does a half pad do?
A half pad is a shaped pad that sits under your saddle, usually over a regular saddle pad. Makers build them to add cushion, grip or lift, depending on the design, and some add pockets for shims. Makers differ on how much they claim, so ask your saddle fitter what your horse needs first, then browse the builds above.
When do I need shims?
Shims are inserts that slide into pockets in a half pad to change the lift at the front or back of the saddle. Use only the shims made for your pad, since makers cut them to match. Ask your saddle fitter how much lift your saddle needs, then choose a shim-ready pad from the T3, EquiFit, Weatherbeeta or ARMA sections.
How do I clean a half pad?
Care differs by build, so follow the care tag on your pad. T3 says to remove inserts and shims before machine washing and line drying, and Horze says to air dry its Fur Half Pad flat. Memory foam and sheepskin pads each have their own steps. Check the product page for your pad before you wash it.
Which cut do I need: dressage, all-purpose or close contact?
Match the cut to your saddle. T3 makes its Shim Pro Impact pads in Dressage, AP and CC versions, so choose the one that follows your saddle's panel shape. Start from your saddle type and shop that cut.
What size half pad should I buy?
Half pads come in names like Pony, Medium and Large, or by saddle seat size. Makers choose one or the other, so check the product page for how a pad is sized, and measure your saddle's panel length if you are unsure. Then use the Find Your Fit dropdown above to jump to the sizes we carry.
