Kentucky Saddle Pad Basic Velvet

Velvet holds on to horse hair and dust a little more easily than a smooth woven fabric. Let the pad dry completely after riding and then brush it out with a soft clothes brush or a lint roller. That way the pile stays lying nicely and you need to wash it less often.

Wash at 30°C, without tumble drying. Lay the pad flat or hang it over a wide bar to dry, not over a thin line, so no crease forms in the back. For a finished set, combine it with an ear bonnet in the same colour line from our range.

This is a saddle pad for anyone looking for a quiet, smart look: well-kept training sessions, lessons and competitions in dressage or jumping, with a pad that stands out through its fabric and not through decoration. The cotton blend lining makes it just as suitable for daily use.

If you would rather have a pad with billet strap keepers because you are used to extra fixation, you are better off with a model from our range that does have those keepers. If you are mainly looking for a sportier, more technical look, a quilted saddle pad with a pronounced stitching pattern suits that better. And if you ride a pony, note that this model is offered in size Full.

Place the pad under the saddle and secure it with the girth loop; the saddle keeps it in place from there.
