Pharmakas Sporty Haft-Spray Sticky Bum Grip Spray
Description
Pharmakas Sporty Haft-Spray - Sticky Bum Grip Spray for Riders
Pharmakas Sporty Haft-Spray, commonly called sticky bum spray, is a grip-enhancing spray that riders apply to the inner side of their bootlegs and to the saddle flaps and seat to create targeted friction between rider and saddle. It is best for riders in any discipline - dressage, show jumping, eventing or general hacking and schooling - who want a steadier lower leg and a more secure seat without changing their saddle or breeches.
Unlike sticky breeches or a grip seat, which are built into the garment, this spray lets you add grip exactly where you need it, on the tack or the boots you already own, and refresh it whenever it wears off. Made in Germany.
Key Features
- Targeted friction: creates grip at the essential contact points between leg, seat and saddle.
- All disciplines: suitable for dressage, show jumping, eventing, schooling and general riding.
- Dual application: use on the inner side of bootlegs and on saddle flaps and the saddle seat.

FAQ
What is sticky bum spray and how does it work?
Sticky bum spray is a grip spray applied to riding boots and the saddle. Pharmakas Sporty Haft-Spray creates targeted friction at those contact points so your leg and seat stay more secure in the saddle.
Where should I apply Sporty Haft-Spray?
Apply it to the inner side of your bootlegs and to the saddle flaps and seat. Spray before mounting for the best starting position.
Can I use it on a leather saddle?
It is intended for use on saddle flaps and the seat. As with any product applied to leather, test a small hidden area first and follow your saddle maker's care advice.
Is it suitable for dressage and jumping?
Yes. It is designed for all disciplines, including dressage, show jumping, eventing and general riding or hacking.
Will it work with any breeches?
The spray is applied to bootlegs and the saddle rather than to your breeches, so it can be used alongside full-seat, knee-patch or plain breeches. Test on fabric first if you choose to spray near a garment.
How often do I need to reapply?
Reapply as needed - many riders use it before each ride, and again before a class or warm-up if grip begins to fade.
