LeMieux Saddle Pad Loire Classic Spruce FW24

Wash this saddle pad inside out at 30°C and let it air dry. Do not tumble dry: the satin outer fabric and the bamboo lining stay looking good for longer that way. Washing inside out cleans the lining, where the sweat sits, most thoroughly and damages the glossy outside less.

Choose the cut that suits your saddle: the dressage model for a dressage saddle, the jumping model for a jumping or eventing saddle. If you want a coordinated set in the ring, combine the pad with a matching Loire ear bonnet, polo wraps and grooming bag from the range.

This pad is a good choice for competition riders and for riders who also want to look well turned out in training. It is particularly suitable for horses with a sensitive back or wither, precisely because the bamboo lining is soft and the cut is anatomical. Thanks to the two models it fits both dressage and jumping.

If you are mainly after extra cushioning or want to adjust the balance of your saddle, a model with removable inserts from our range is the more logical choice: the Loire Classic is a classic pad and not a corrective pad. If you ride a pony smaller than size Cob, look at a pony model in the range. And if you want an understated, completely plain pad without shine or decorative binding, a plain model suits that style better.

Secure the pad with the reinforced girth loop and billet strap keepers, which keep it stable where most of the pull is. Wash it inside out at 30°C: that way the lining, where the sweat sits, gets cleanest and the glossy outside is damaged less. Let it air dry and do not tumble dry it, so the satin and the bamboo lining stay looking good for longer.

Is this a dressage or a jumping saddle pad?
Both exist. The Loire Classic is available in a dressage model and in a jumping model, so you can match the cut to your saddle.

Which sizes are there?
Cob and Full.

How do I wash this saddle pad?
Machine washable at 30°C, inside out. Do not tumble dry.

Why bamboo as a lining?
Bamboo fibre is soft, breathable and moisture-wicking and helps regulate the temperature under the saddle.

Does the satin outer fabric not become slippery under the saddle?
No. The fabric was chosen to give a luxurious shine without being slippery under the saddle.

Is this pad suitable for a horse with a sensitive back?
The anatomical design and the soft bamboo lining make it suitable for that.

Which accessories go with it?
The matching Loire ear bonnet, the polo wraps and the grooming bag from the same line.
