LeMieux Loire Saddle Pad Core

Because this pad works both in the dressage arena and over fences, it is a logical choice if you want to keep only a limited number of pads. If you both train and compete, it is worth keeping a second one on hand, so there is always a dry pad ready.

Before saddling, place the pad generously into the wither hollow and pull it up after girthing, so the air circulation is actually put to use. After a sweaty ride, let it dry completely and brush off dried sweat and sand before you use it again.

This saddle pad suits riders looking for a solid, versatile everyday pad for daily training and competition, in dressage as well as jumping. The classic look and the wide colour range make it easy to combine.

If you ride dressage only, at a high level, and want a pad that follows the long line of your dressage flap exactly, a purpose-cut dressage model from our range is the more logical choice. If you are mainly after strongly technical cooling or a non-slip effect, look at a model built around those features; the Loire Core is set up as a reliable all-rounder.

No washing instruction is given.
