Lemieux Cooling Saddle Pad Half Square

This is the pad you reach for on hot days, at summer competitions and for horses that sweat quickly. In cold, wet weather the open mesh structure adds less: a regular quilted pad from our range works just as well then.

White asks for a little more care than a dark colour. Knock the pad out after riding and let it dry completely before you put it away, so the mesh structure stays open and the colour stays bright. Because the material dries quickly, a second one is handy if you ride several horses in a day.

Choose this saddle pad if you mainly jump or ride close contact and want to keep your horse cool in warm weather. The half square shape and the low volume sit well under a jumping saddle and keep your leg close to the horse.

If you ride dressage, a longer, straighter dressage pad from our range fits better under your saddle. If you are mainly after cushioning and volume under the saddle, for instance for long hacks, a more thickly quilted model is built more for that. And if you want a pad that draws little attention or stays clean more easily, a dark version is more practical than this white model.

Use this pad on warm days, at summer shows and for horses that break into a sweat quickly; in cold, wet weather the open mesh adds less. White asks for a little more care than a dark colour. Knock the pad out after riding and let it dry completely before you put it away, so the mesh stays open and the colour stays bright. No washing instruction is given.

What exactly does the 3D mesh do?
That open structure lets air circulate between saddle and back and carries heat away, so the back stays cooler.

Which discipline is this saddle pad made for?
It is a half square close contact model, so it is primarily intended for jumping work.

Is this suitable for the competition ring?
Yes, the white version and the neat finish make it usable at competitions as well as in schooling.

What is the lining made of?
Of bamboo. It absorbs moisture and carries it away, so the skin stays dry.

Does this pad dry quickly?
Yes, the material is breathable and quick-drying, which is handy if you ride several horses one after another.

When does this pad add the least?
In cold or wet weather, when cooling is not a priority.
