Description
The Eskadron Sparkle Jewel saddle pad from the Platinum Edition 26/27 is a quilted pad with a subtly glossy top fabric, a decorative Sparkle Jewel binding and a breathable Cool-Dry underside. It is intended for riders who value comfort for their horse and at the same time want a polished, luxurious look, both in schooling and in the arena.
About this saddle pad
The Platinum Edition is Eskadron's most outspoken line, and you can see it in the top fabric of this saddle pad. It has a subtle sheen that gives the pad depth without tipping over into a hard reflection. The Sparkle Jewel binding along the edge provides the finish: the decorative element stays limited to the border, which keeps the whole refined rather than busy.
Underneath that fabric sits the comfort. The filling is medium thick, which is a good middle ground: thick enough to absorb shock and keep the pad stable under the saddle, thin enough not to lose saddle contact. That stability is exactly what makes a pad usable for more than walk work.
The underside is made in Cool-Dry. That is a breathable material which carries moisture away from the back instead of holding on to it. During longer schooling sessions or on warm days that is where you feel the difference: your horse's back stays more comfortable and the pad does not get heavy with sweat.
Two features work together to keep the pad in place. In the saddle area there are anti-slip silicone zones that make the contact surface between saddle and pad grippier, so shifting stays limited even during more intensive work. The girth loops also offer a triple fixing option, which lets you match the attachment to your own saddle and girth instead of having to live with a single fixed position.

When to choose this product
This saddle pad suits riders who want looks and comfort together. The glossy fabric and the Sparkle Jewel binding come into their own at a competition, at a clinic or for a photo session, 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 without a decorative binding, a plain version from our range makes more sense. If you want more volume under the saddle, for instance because your saddle sits a little wide, choose a more thickly padded pad instead: the filling of this one is deliberately kept medium. And if you mostly ride outside in mud and rain, a glossy top fabric is not the most practical material to keep looking good.
Fit
The product information does not mention sizes or separate versions per discipline for the Platinum Edition Sparkle Jewel saddle pad. The medium-thick filling is thick enough to absorb shocks and keep the pad stable, and thin enough not to lose saddle contact. If your saddle sits a little wide, a thicker padded pad is a better fit. With the girth loops with triple fixing option, you match the attachment to your own saddle and girth.

Expert advice
When you saddle up, pull the pad well up into the gullet, so the silicone zones end up in the right place under the saddle and do their job as intended. Then use the triple fixing of the girth loops to match the tension to your own saddle: firm enough to hold the pad in place, generous enough to leave the wither free.
After riding, hang the pad out until it is completely dry, so the Cool-Dry underside can release the moisture it has taken up. A glossy top fabric shows dust and hair faster than a matt version; a quick shake-out and gentle brushing after each ride keeps the look tidy between washes. If you want a coordinated set, combine it with other items from the same Platinum line in our range.
