Saddle buying guide:
Saddle pads and blankets are placed under a saddle to protect a horse’s back, and absorb
sweat. They also act as a cushion under the saddle for a more comfortable ride. Specially
designed models that compensate for a horse’s body structure can help when a saddle
doesn’t quite fit properly. Saddle pads are made from many natural and synthetic materials,
each with its own benefits and purpose. Cloths and blankets were used to cover horses’
backs for riding long before saddles became popular, and they have since evolved to match
various equestrian styles. To choose a suitable saddle pad, buyers will need to consider their
horse and the saddle they ride with most often. Saddle pads and blankets can be purchased
at tack and saddle shops, and they are also sold by many online equestrian retailers.
A well-chosen saddle pad may lessen a horse’s muscle fatigue, allowing for longer rides
without unnecessary strain or injury. Some saddle pads are designed for general use,
while others are made for shows and competitions. Consumers will need to take the shape
of a horse’s back and withers into consideration when choosing a saddle pad, along with
the style of saddle used with the pad and the equine discipline practiced by the rider.
Types of Saddle Pads
There are several terms used to describe fabric and other materials placed between a
saddle and horse. Saddle blankets and pads are two different types of saddle cushioning.
A blanket generally refers to a piece of cotton orwool that is folded and placed under the
saddle. Commonly used under western saddles and pack saddles, blankets originally
served two purposes for the military: padding and warmth. On long marches, the thickness
of the blanket could be adjusted as the horse got skinnier. Saddle pads, sometimes
called numnahs, are thicker than blankets. They are made of multiple layers of material
shaped to match the contours of the horse and saddle.
Horse owners and riders can use this chart to find a Western or English saddle pad that will
complement their horse’s body type. Using this information, buyers will be able to make an
informed decision rather than just guessing as to which pad would be the best choice for a
particular horse.
Materials Used to Make Saddle Pads
Just like a saddle, a pad must be properly fitted to a horse’s proportions. There should be
at least an inch of padding visible around the edge of the saddle, and the pad should not
rub or press on the withers. Care must be taken to ensure that none of the seams are
positioned in a way that could chafe the horse during rides. By choosing a material that is
suited to the rider’s discipline and the horse’s preferences, an equine saddle pad will
absorb shock and enhance the riding experience.Buyers can also choose a saddle pad
based on the material used to make it. Each material has benefits and drawbacks, so
riders should consider which would be the best option for their horse and saddle. Both
natural and synthetic materials are used in the production of saddle pads.
The most traditional saddle pad material is sheepskin. Sheepskin with the hide still
attached reduces friction in a way that can’t be matched by man-made fleece. It’s used
mainly because of its natural ability to wick moisture away from a horse’s skin, but it
can be difficult to clean and dry. Over time, chemicals in a horse’s sweat can break
down the fleece on a sheepskin pad, if it’s not properly cared for. Synthetic fleece is
often used on the underside of saddle pads, and it holds up better than sheepskin.
Real fleece often becomes flattened and matted by the weight of the saddle and rider.
Synthetic materials are affordable and hold up over time, but are not as breathable
as the real thing.
Felt is a common material in saddle pads designed for Western saddles, and
is sometimes found in English pads, though less frequently. This compressed
wool is absorbent and efficient at wicking moisture. Felt is a great insulator,
and it can relieve pressure points caused by a saddle, so it’s often layered
under other materials for maximum shock absorption.
Foam is used to alleviate pressure points on a horse’s back by absorbing shock
and evenly distributing the weight of the saddle. There are two types of foam used
to make saddle pads: open-cell foam and closed-cell foam. Closed - cell foam is
more popular because it’s denser and can conform to body contours, but it’s less
breathable than open-celled varieties. The main drawback to foam is that it lacks
the wicking ability of natural fibers.
Some saddle pads come with gel inserts for additional cushioning. These are
helpful when a horse has a tender spot that requires additional protection from
impact. A layer of gel is placed between the padding, or embedded in the fabric.
The addition of this material makes gel saddle pads heavier than other models,
but they can make a horse much more comfortable by cushioning sore spots.
Neoprene is a waterproof material used in certain saddle pads. This type of rubber
is also called waffle bottom, because of the distinct pattern imprinted on it, which
allows the saddle pad to breathe. Pads made of neoprene are extremely durable
and easy to clean. The chemical characteristics of this material help neoprene
saddle pads stay put under the saddle rather than sliding around and causing the
horse discomfort.
