Experiences with the Equisensomotoric® Pad:

What riders and trainers say about it

Vaquero horse trainer Alex Zell of findtheflow

Recommendation after extensive testing: https://equisensomotoric.com/equisensomotoric-pad/

It looks a bit bulky, but it settles under the rider’s weight, and my horse really likes it. Therefore, I give the pad by Johanna Thanheiser full marks.

And we love it 🧡

(Unpaid advertisement, because I’m absolutely convinced 🙌)

Lovingly handcrafted by saddler Susanne Heil

My daughter tested it out today and was thrilled – it’s like sitting on clouds ☁️

I’m already curious to see what my other riding kids think. 🥰

I also have one and the horses love it

Kids Riding teacher Elke Galbrunner of Stallgeflüster

Hello, I’ve already tested mine extensively! And what can I say? The difference is simply amazing!!! Riding out alone in wind and rain and my mare is totally relaxed!! Thank you so much, I’m absolutely thrilled!!!!!!!

Kids riding teacher & therapist Evelyn Bauernfried of gepferdet

Highly recommended 😌

Horse body worker Isabella Lechner of Equi Physio Balance

Dear Johanna, thank you for your message. I’d love to. I’d be very interested. I own three EMS pads myself for two years now and am very happy with them. I’ve also recommended ten pads to my clients, which I’m really pleased about because the horses are clearly doing much better.

Portuguese jumping rider Elliot Shrimpton

Thank you for my new Equisensomotoric Pad! 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🐎🐎🐎

The pad can be individually adjusted to the horse’s back! Medical-grade lambskin directly against the horse’s back, premium felt, and top-quality leather—all made from high-quality raw materials!

Maximum wither clearance, wide spinal channel, memory foam as a shock and pressure absorber—making it ideal for daily use and all horses! Anyone who wants to see for themselves is welcome to try a test pad!

Riding teacher Manuela Pilsinger of Reitverein Pro Mostviertel

I´ve bought the pad for my older Oldenburg horse; he loves it and his back is recovering. Thanks for the recommendation. Best regards.

Kids riding teacher Isabella B.

Did you ride him? How’s the new pad?

Yes, walk and trot. He was totally relaxed. And I really like the pad too.

How satisfied are you with the pad?

The pad is great. I’m very satisfied. Unfortunately, you get used to riding on clouds way too quickly ☁️😀

Why unfortunately?

Because eventually, this comfort becomes normal. 😂

Classical horse trainer Clarissa

Hi Clarissa, Ah cool, you have one of our saddle pads! How do you like it? Do you notice a difference compared to other saddle pads? Best, Johanna

Hi, I really like it. No more pressure points, very good pressure distribution. I’ve already recommended it to several people 😀

Leisure time rider Petra

Hi Johanna, a quick update on the Equisensomotoric pad ☺️ Ordering and shipping went perfectly. Great selection of fabrics. The craftmanship is excellent, and you can tell that high-quality materials are used! I feel like my horse moves more freely with it, and I’m more comfortable in the saddle ☺️ Plus, the pad doesn’t slip when riding out on trails (which was often a problem for us before with another pad).

Thanks for that ☺️

Leisure time rider Brigit

Super soft on the ride… definitely noticeable…

…and it stays perfectly under the saddle! I forgot to tighten the girth 🤣🤣🤣 girth strap loose 🫣🫡

Leisure time rider Nicole

I’m currently eyeing your pad for my Bückeburger…🤩 I borrowed it from the riding rental shop and the feel was fantastic!

Yes, it really was a huge difference. I hadn’t expected it to be like that 🙈 and as someone with back problems, it felt completely different to me. I think Raffi liked it too 🙈

Leisure time rider Verena

Dear Susanne!

I promised to keep you updated. I’m very happy with the pad, and I think – so too.

He moves much better under the saddle, much more freely, his shoulders have loosened up, and he has a better walk from the start.

At first, the thick pad felt strange; I felt like I had no contact with the horse and was never sure if the saddle was in the right position. But after a few minutes, you notice that everything settles into place.

The feedback from the horse is absolutely fantastic!

Thank you so much!

Leisure time islandic rider Leo

I am very happy with mine. 😊

Since using the pad, some steps are like riding on clouds.

Leisure time rider Jolanda Kamleitner

Hi Jolanda, what does Allegra think of the Equisensomotoric® Pad? Does it make a difference when riding?

Hi Johanna, it was clear from the very first time we were allowed to test it in one of our training sessions that Allegra loved her Equisensomotoric Pad. It was as if someone had flipped a switch; Allegra was much more content and “light” in her trot. So I borrowed a pad to try, and Allegra then decided for me that I needed to buy it. She blew out every time after just the first few steps. She didn’t like her “old” pad at all anymore and made that very clear by backing up and breaking into a trot! I’ve also noticed that I no longer get back pain from sitting the trot since we’ve had the Equisensomotoric Pad. Allegra also responds much better to my seat aids because I can simply sit more easily. Even some other riders (including beginners) felt very comfortable and didn’t fall into Allegra’s back while trotting, because the shock absorption of the Equisensomotorik Pad is simply amazing 😍
Allegra and I wouldn’t want to be without it in our training anymore! 🥰
