Cavalleria Toscana Diamonds and Lines Quilted Saddle Pad

When you saddle up, pull the pad well up into the gullet of the saddle, so the wither stays clear and the jersey does not end up tight over the spine. A supple material like jersey holds the shape you give it, so it pays to do that deliberately every time.

Quick-drying fabrics only work as intended if they can actually dry. Hang the pad out open after riding instead of leaving it folded in your bag, and it is usually ready again for the next ride. If you ride several horses a day, it is handy to alternate between two pads. For a uniform competition look, combine this jumping saddle pad with polo wraps or an ear bonnet in the same colour from our range.

This is a saddle pad for the jumping rider: the cut belongs with a jumping saddle and the properties are matched to short, intensive work. It suits riders who prefer a calm, well-groomed style in the arena over eye-catching decoration, and who value a light, quick-drying pad.

If you ride dressage, a dressage saddle pad from our range is the logical choice: its longer, straighter cut matches the shape of a dressage saddle flap. If you are looking for more volume under the saddle, for example because your saddle sits a little wide, a more thickly padded example is more suitable. And if you do want a distinctly decorative finish, our range holds models with more detailing.

When saddling, pull the pad well up into the saddle tree, so the withers stay clear and the jersey does not lie tight over the spine. Because jersey follows the shape you give it, do this deliberately every time.

After riding, hang the pad up open instead of leaving it folded in your bag: the quick-drying jersey only works as intended if it can dry. If you ride several horses a day, alternate between two pads.

Which discipline is this saddle pad meant for?
For jumping. It is designed as a jumping saddle pad and matched to intensive jumping training and competition.

What is technical jersey?
Jersey is a knitted material that gives easily. In a technical version it is also breathable and quick drying, so heat and sweat are carried away.

Does the saddle pad stay in place?
The outer layer follows the horse's back, which helps limit friction and shifting, also at take-off and landing.

Does this saddle pad dry quickly?
Yes, the technical jersey is quick drying and breathable, which is handy if you ride several horses in a day.

Why does the quilting matter?
Because the padding is stitched through, it stays in place and the pressure of the saddle is spread more evenly across the bearing surface.

How visible is the brand on this pad?
Understated: a subtle piping along the edge and the Cavalleria Toscana logo make up the entire finish.

Is this saddle pad suitable for dressage?
It is designed as a jumping model. For dressage you are better off with a dressage saddle pad from our range.
