Eskadron Saddle Pad Sparkle Jewel Platinum 26/27

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.

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.

Which collection does this saddle pad come from?
From the Eskadron Platinum Edition 2026/2027.

What is Cool-Dry?
The breathable material on the underside of the pad. It carries moisture away from the back and keeps the climate under the saddle comfortable.

How does the saddle pad stay in place?
Through anti-slip silicone zones in the saddle area, supported by girth loops you can fix in three ways.

How thick is the filling?
Medium thick. That absorbs shock and keeps the pad stable under the saddle, without losing saddle contact.

Is this saddle pad suitable for competition?
Yes, it is usable for schooling as well as for work in the arena.

How noticeable is the finish?
The Sparkle Jewel binding runs along the edge of the pad and provides a refined accent, without dominating the whole.

How does this saddle pad differ from a standard saddle pad?
In the glossy top fabric, the decorative binding and the combination of Cool-Dry, anti-slip zones and triple girth fixing.
