LeMieux Loire Saddle Pad White

This pad is first and foremost a competition pad. White stays beautiful as long as you look after it consistently: knock or brush it out after every use before the sweat dries in, and only store it once it is completely dry. That keeps the satin top layer glossy and the lining supple.

When saddling up, pull the pad well up into the wither, so the anatomical cut can do its work and no pressure comes onto the wither line. If you ride several tests or courses in one day, a second pad is handy so you can always start with a dry one.

Choose this saddle pad when you are looking for a classic white competition pad with a well-groomed sheen and at the same time want a breathable lining. It is usable in dressage and in jumping, which is practical if you ride both disciplines.

For daily training at home, a coloured or more simply finished pad from our range is more practical: white simply asks for more care. And if you are after distinctly more cushioning under the saddle, a thicker padded model is a better place to look.

When saddling up, pull the pad well up into the wither, so the anatomical cut can do its work and no pressure comes onto the wither line. White stays smart if you look after it consistently: knock out or brush the pad after every use before the sweat dries in, and only put it away once it is completely dry. If you ride several tests or courses in one day, a second pad lets you start dry each time. No washing instruction is given.

Which disciplines is this saddle pad suitable for?
For dressage and for jumping. The model is versatile in use.

What does the bamboo lining do?
It is breathable and temperature-regulating and draws sweat away efficiently, so the back stays drier and more comfortable. Bamboo fibre also has antibacterial properties.

Does this saddle pad stay in place?
The anatomical cut follows the contours of the back, which keeps the pad stable and shifting less.

Is this a competition pad?
It is designed with the competition ring in mind: white, with satin sheen and a refined finish. Check your federation's rules for the requirements in your discipline.

How do I keep a white saddle pad looking good?
