Eskadron Saddle Pad Glossy Jewel Contrast Classic Sports 26

The Eskadron Glossy Jewel Contrast saddle pad from the Classic Sports 26 collection is a quilted pad with a glossy top fabric, a contrasting finish and jewel accents in the binding. Underneath sits a breathable Cool-Dry layer. It is intended for riders who want a polished look under the saddle and at the same time a pad that stays in place, in schooling and at a show.

About this saddle pad

The Eskadron Glossy Jewel Contrast saddle pad first stands out through its top fabric. Glossy is a lightly shining material that gives the pad depth and sets it apart from a matt, classic pad. On top of that comes a contrast finish: the binding and the quilting are made in a different colour, with fine jewel accents in the corded binding. The effect stays limited to the edges, which keeps the whole looking polished without becoming busy.

Underneath that top fabric sits a pad that above all has to do its job. The contrast quilting is compactly stitched and combined with a medium-thick filling. That combination provides a stable position under the saddle and supports an even pressure distribution on the back. The underside is made in Cool-Dry, a material that carries moisture away from the back instead of holding on to it. That makes a difference during longer and more intensive schooling, when the back under the saddle heats up fastest.

For the fit, Eskadron works with three features that complement each other. In the saddle area there are anti-slip silicone surfaces that make the contact surface between saddle and pad grippier. At the front, the Innostrap system controls the attachment. The girth loops have three fixing options, so you can match the attachment to your own saddle and girth. Together they limit shifting of the pad, even with horses that have a lot of movement.

The finish rounds off the whole: a glossy edge, a contrasting corded jewel binding and double emblems on both sides.

Key benefits

• Glossy top fabric with contrast finish for a polished look
• Compact contrast quilting with medium-thick filling for a stable position
• Supports an even pressure distribution on the horse's back
• Cool-Dry underside carries moisture away and keeps the back fresher
• Anti-slip silicone in the saddle area helps prevent shifting
• Innostrap system and girth loops with triple fixing for a precise attachment
• Jewel accents in the corded binding and double emblems as a finish
• Usable for daily schooling as well as for competition

Practical advice

Use the three fixing points of the girth loops to match the tension to your own saddle: firm enough to hold the pad in place, and still such that the wither stays free. When you saddle up, pull the pad well up into the gullet, so the silicone zones end up in the right place.

The contrast finish comes out strongest when you choose a colour combination that stands apart from your saddle. If you want a coherent set, match the pad with an ear bonnet in the same colours. After riding, let the pad dry completely before you store it, so the Cool-Dry underside can release its moisture.

When to choose this saddle pad

This saddle pad suits riders who want a strikingly finished pad without compromising on technique. The glossy fabric and the jewel binding come into their own at a competition or during a clinic, while the Cool-Dry underside, the filling and the anti-slip zones make it just as usable for everyday schooling.

If you are looking for a completely understated pad instead, a version in a plain, matt fabric from our range makes more sense. If you want more volume under the saddle, choose a more thickly padded model from our range: the filling of this pad is deliberately kept medium thick.
