This saddle pad is intended for riders who ride daily and are looking for a pad that looks smart without being loud. Thanks to the two versions it is just as usable in dressage as over a course of fences, and the choice of colours makes it easy to coordinate your equipment.

If you are mainly after extra volume and cushioning under the saddle, for instance with a saddle that sits a little wide, a thicker padded pad from our range makes more sense. And if you want a pad that really stands out with gloss or a contrasting finish, this understated model is less suitable.

The Equestro Onion saddle pad comes in a dressage and a jumping version; your saddle decides which one you take. The dressage version follows the longer, straighter saddle flap, the jumping version the more sloping flap of a jumping saddle.

The pad is anatomically shaped: it follows the topline and leaves enough room at the wither, so it does not pull tight over the withers and creases less quickly than a straight-cut pad. No sizes are specified.

Choose the version that matches your saddle: the dressage version follows the longer, straighter saddle flap, the jumping version the more sloping flap of a jumping saddle. When saddling up, pull the pad well up into the gullet so the room at the wither is actually preserved.

If you want a coordinated set, combine this saddle pad with boots and an ear bonnet in the same colour. Brush the pad out after riding once it is dry, so hair and sand do not stay caught in the stitching.

When saddling, pull the pad well up into the saddle tree, so the room at the wither is really kept. The breathable technical fabric carries heat and sweat away while you ride.

After riding, brush the pad out once it is dry, so hair and sand do not stay in the onion quilting stitching. No specific washing instruction is given; follow the care label for that.

What is onion quilting?
It is a stitched pattern with a rounded teardrop shape. It gives the saddle pad a classic, refined appearance.

Is this saddle pad for dressage or for jumping?
For both. The model comes in a dressage version and a jumping version.

Which version should I take?
That depends on your saddle: the dressage version follows the longer, straighter saddle flap, the jumping version the more sloping flap of a jumping saddle.

Will my saddle stay stable?
The anatomical shape follows the topline and keeps the saddle stable during movement.

Is the saddle pad breathable?
Yes. The technical fabric draws heat and sweat away while you ride.

Can I also use this pad at competitions?
Yes, it is intended for both training and competition.

Why does room at the wither matter?
It stops the pad from pulling tight over the wither, which limits friction in that spot.
