Grandeur Physio Pad

Designed for comfort, spinal freedom, and customizable support, this premium saddle pad features the innovative AIRCO ventilation system to promote airflow along your horse’s spine while riding. The PHYSIO design provides additional clearance and lift for the upper spinous processes, helping reduce pressure and improve overall comfort.

Features include:

  • AIRCO spine ventilation system
  • PHYSIO construction for enhanced spinal clearance
  • Upper and lower pockets for optional corrective inlays
  • Hospital-grade synthetic sheepskin underside — highly breathable and soft
  • Anti-slip top surface for added saddle stability

Optional inlays are available upon request in:

  • Foam
  • Felt

Available in brown or black for most Hidalgo saddle models. Availability varies, so please inquire about current stock and compatible shapes.

Grandeur does not use acrylic fleece like many inexpensive saddle pads. Their synthetic wool underside is what they call Hohlfaserfloor (literally "hollow fiber fleece" or "hollow fiber pile").

Here's what it's made of:

  • 100% polyester hollow fibers (Hohlfaserkunstfell) arranged in a dense pile.
  • The fibers are hollow, which traps air similarly to natural wool, helping with:
    • temperature regulation
    • moisture movement
    • shock absorption
    • pressure distribution
  • The pile is designed to be soft and skin-friendly, while remaining machine washable and more durable than natural sheepskin.
