Eskadron Saddle Pad Silk Contrast Diamond Platinum 26/27

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.

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.

What is Cool-Dry?
It is the breathable material on the underside of the pad. It moves moisture away efficiently and helps keep the climate under the saddle comfortable.

Will my saddle stay in place on this saddle pad?
The anti-slip silicone zones in the saddle area improve grip and help limit unwanted saddle movement.

How is the pad attached?
With the Innostrap system and girth loops offering three fixing options.

Where exactly are the crystals?
At the back of the pad, together with subtle Eskadron lettering worked into the design.

Is the quilting thick or thin?
It is a voluminous quilting with a medium filling: noticeable volume, with a good balance between support and pressure distribution.

Can I use this saddle pad every day?
Yes, it is intended for both daily training and competitions.
