LeMieux Cotton Saddle Pad Core

This is a saddle pad for daily use: you put it on for training, jumping lessons and competitions under a jumping saddle. Because cotton washes well, you can rotate easily between several pads if you ride more than one horse.

Wash at 30°C in the machine and let it air dry. Close the hook-and-loop before you put the pad in the drum, otherwise it attaches itself to the fabric or to other laundry. Brush dry sand off first, then the quilting stays crisp for longer.

Choose the LeMieux Cotton saddle pad when you are looking for a reliable cotton pad for under a jumping saddle, with a soft lining and a correct fit. It suits jumping and flatwork in a close contact saddle, and riders who are after soundness and comfort rather than a pronounced decorative finish.

If you ride dressage, you need a pad in a dressage shape: this version is cut for close contact saddles and will not sit correctly under a dressage saddle. If you want maximum ventilation in summer heat, a saddle pad with a mesh outside from our range goes further than cotton. And if you are looking for a pronounced glossy or festive finish for the competition arena, a model with a satin or high-shine outer fabric fits that better.

Put the pad under your jumping saddle and secure it with the strong girth loop with hook-and-loop fastening, so it does not creep backwards while you ride. Brush dry sand off before you wash it. Close the hook-and-loop, wash the pad at 30°C in the machine and let it air dry. Otherwise open hook-and-loop catches on the fabric and on other laundry in the drum.

Does this saddle pad fit under a dressage saddle?
No, this is the close contact version, cut for jumping saddles. For a dressage saddle you need a pad in a dressage shape.

Which size is available?
Size Full.

Why a bamboo lining?
Bamboo fibre is soft against the skin, moisture-regulating and antibacterial, which keeps the back drier and the pad feeling fresher for longer.

How do I wash this saddle pad?
At 30°C in the machine, with the hook-and-loop closed, and then left to air dry.

Why does the hook-and-loop have to be closed before washing?
Open hook-and-loop attaches itself in the drum to the fabric of the pad and to other laundry, which causes pilling and damage.

Does the pad stay in place well?
The anatomical shape and the strong girth loop with hook-and-loop fastening keep the pad stable under the saddle.

Is this suitable for a horse with a sensitive wither?
The high wither cut leaves the wither free and the bamboo lining is soft against the skin.
