The SIGNUM PADDLE® – The best of saddle and riding pad combined

What is a SIGNUM PADDLE®?

The SIGNUM PADDLE® combines the advantages of a riding pad and a saddle. It is neither tree-less nor does it have a traditional saddle tree. The SIGNUM PADDLE® can adapt to the horse's back and can be used with stirrups thanks to the integrated pressure distribution element. The Velcro cushions achieve a spine-free position. The SIGNUM PADDLE® is suitable for riders who love direct seat contact with the horse—without sacrificing a secure hold and stirrups.
