Kentucky Saddle Pad Glitter Band

Choose the version that matches your saddle: the jumping version for a jumping saddle, the dressage version for a dressage saddle. The cut of both is tuned to the shape of the saddle flap, and you notice that straight away in how the pad sits under the saddle.

When you saddle up, pull the pad well up into the gullet of the saddle, so that the anatomical shape really does leave room around the wither. After riding, hang it out open until it is completely dry: the honeycomb fabric dries quickly, but only if air can reach it. For a coordinated look, combine it with boots or an ear bonnet in the same colour from our range. If you are considering embroidery, have it applied before you start using the pad, so you can still choose freely from the full colour range.

This saddle pad suits riders looking for a subtly finished pad that looks smart both in training and at a competition, and who value an anatomical fit. Because it exists in a jumping and a dressage version, it is usable in both disciplines and lets you carry the same style across your whole set of equipment.

If you would rather have a completely understated pad without glitter, a plain-finished model from our range makes more sense. If you are looking for more volume under the saddle, for example because your saddle sits a little wide, a more thickly padded example is the better choice: the padding of this pad is deliberately kept thin to preserve saddle contact.

When you saddle up, pull the pad well up into the gullet of the saddle, so the anatomical shape really does leave room around the wither.

After riding, hang it out open until it is completely dry: the honeycomb fabric dries quickly, but only if air can reach it. If you want the pad embroidered, have that done before you start using it.

Does this saddle pad come in a dressage and a jumping version?
Yes, the Kentucky Glitter Band saddle pad is available in a jumping version and a dressage version.

Why does the anatomical shape matter?
It follows the horse's topline and helps limit pressure around the wither, which keeps the pad more stable and lets your horse move more freely.

Will my horse's back stay cool?
The outer fabric with honeycomb structure is breathable and quick drying, which you notice above all in more intensive training and on warm days.

Do I lose saddle contact because of the padding?
No, the padding is soft but deliberately kept thin, so the contact between saddle and back is preserved.

Can I have this saddle pad embroidered?
The design offers room for embroidery, which is handy if you ride with a recognisable stable style.

Is this saddle pad suitable for competition?
Yes, it is usable for training, for competition and as a tidy stable outfit.

Is the glitter binding very noticeable?
The glitter binding is subtle and runs only along the edge, so it finishes the pad without taking over the rest of it.
