Description
The Eskadron Silk Contrast Diamond saddle pad from the Platinum Edition 2026/2027 is a generously quilted pad with a matt, silky outer fabric, crystal details and a breathable Cool-Dry underside. It is made for riders who want a refined look in the arena combined with a stable position and comfort for their horse.
About this saddle pad
The Eskadron Silk Contrast Diamond saddle pad belongs to the Platinum Edition 2026/2027 and is clearly built to be noticed. The outer fabric is matt and silky: no hard shine, but a deep, quiet lustre that gives the pad a luxurious look. On top of that come subtle crystal details, with crystal stones at the back and fine Eskadron lettering worked into the design rather than simply sitting on it.
Underneath that finish sits a pad that simply does its job. The voluminous quilting with medium filling gives noticeable volume under the saddle and provides a good balance between comfort, support and pressure distribution. The pad therefore lies stable and stays pleasant to work in for horse and rider, both during daily training and on a competition day.
The underside is made of breathable Cool-Dry. This material moves moisture away efficiently and helps keep the climate under the saddle comfortable, even as the workload increases. In the saddle area itself there are integrated anti-slip silicone zones: they improve the grip between saddle and pad and help limit unwanted saddle movement.
For attachment, Eskadron uses the Innostrap system, supplemented by girth loops with three fixing options. That lets you match the tension to your own saddle and girth, so the pad stays in place while you ride. The difference with a plain standard pad is therefore not only the crystals: the Cool-Dry underside, the anti-slip zones and the volume of the quilting also make it a technically finished whole.
Key benefits
- Matt, silky outer fabric with a refined, luxurious look
- Crystal stones at the back and integrated Eskadron lettering as a finishing touch
- Voluminous quilting with medium filling for comfort and pressure distribution
- Breathable Cool-Dry underside that moves moisture away efficiently
- Anti-slip silicone zones in the saddle area for extra grip
- Innostrap system and girth loops with three fixing points for a secure fit
- Suitable for daily training and competition
When to choose this product
This saddle pad suits riders who deliberately go for a polished, eye-catching look at a competition or clinic without giving up comfort under the saddle. The combination of volume in the quilting, a Cool-Dry underside and anti-slip zones also makes it suitable for ordinary training days.
If you would rather have an understated pad without crystals, a plainly finished model from our range makes more sense. And if you are looking for the thinnest possible pad that barely lifts the saddle, a more lightly padded item from our range suits you better than this voluminous quilting.
Fit
The product information does not mention sizes or separate versions per discipline for the Silk Contrast Diamond saddle pad. The voluminous quilting with medium filling gives noticeable volume under the saddle, with a good balance between support and pressure distribution. If you want a pad that is as thin as possible and barely lifts the saddle, a more lightly padded pad is a better fit. You adjust the Innostrap system and the girth loops with triple fixing option to your own saddle and girth.

Expert advice
When saddling up, pull the pad well up into the saddle gullet so the voluminous quilting is not dragged flat across the wither. Then set the girth loops using the three fixing points: that is the difference between a pad that stays neatly in place and one that pulls sideways after half an hour.
The crystal details ask for some care in maintenance. After riding, tap the pad out and brush it gently, and avoid scrubbing roughly over the crystal zones at the back. Let the Cool-Dry underside dry out in the open before you store it. If you want a coordinated look at a competition, combine it with other items from the Platinum Edition.
