LeMieux Suede Saddle Pad Core

This pad belongs with jumping training and jumping competitions. If you ride mainly dressage, a jump cut falls too short under a dressage saddle and you are better off choosing a dressage version from our range.

When tacking up, pull the pad well up into the wither before you tighten the girth: that keeps the bamboo lining flat against the back and avoids a fold on the spine. Suede holds hair and dust a little more easily than a smooth woven fabric, so brush the pad out after every session and let it air dry before you store it. For a coordinated set, pair the pad with polo wraps or an ear bonnet in the same colour from our range.

Choose this pad when you jump and want a pad that lies stable, feels light and looks polished, both in training and at competitions. The breathable bamboo lining makes it usable for riders who work intensively and see their horse warm up quickly.

If you ride dressage, take a dressage model. If you want a pad you can put in the washing machine almost daily and that asks for little attention, a simple cotton pad from our range is more practical: suede asks for a bit more care. And if you want distinctly more padding under the saddle, look at a thicker padded version.

When tacking up, pull the pad well up into the wither before you tighten the girth. That keeps the bamboo lining flat against the back and avoids a fold on the spine. The strong girth loop keeps the pad in place as you girth up. Suede holds hair and dust a little more easily than a smooth woven fabric: brush the pad out after every session and let it air dry before you store it. No washing instruction is given.

Which discipline is this pad intended for?
For jumping. The pad has a jump cut and therefore sits neatly under a jumping saddle.

Does this pad fit under a dressage saddle?
No. A jump cut is shorter and cut further forward. Under a dressage saddle it is better to take a dressage model.

Why a bamboo lining?
Bamboo is breathable and temperature-regulating, which keeps your horse's back feeling fresher during intensive work.

Does this pad stay in place?
Yes. The anatomical cut and the strong girth loop keep the pad stable, without shifting or curling up.

Which colours is this pad available in?
In Ice Blue, Navy, White, Benneton, Hunter Green, Black and Chilli.

How do I care for the suede outer?
Brush the pad out after use and let it air dry. Suede holds hair a little more easily than a smooth woven fabric.

Is this pad heavy?
No, it is light in weight, so there is little bulk between your horse and the saddle.
