Kentucky Saddle Pad Plaited 3D Logo

When saddling up, pull the pad well up into the saddle gullet, so the anatomical shape really does leave room around the wither. Because this model is held by a girth loop only, that step matters all the more: the saddle and the girth keep the pad in place, so make sure it already sits well before you tighten the girth.

A plaited structure holds hair and dust more visibly than a smooth surface. Knock the pad out after riding and brush the top gently, and the plaited texture stays looking good between washes. Let it dry completely before you store it, so the cotton blend can release the moisture it has taken up. For a coordinated turnout, combine it with leg protection or an ear bonnet from our range.

This saddle pad suits riders who want a pad that stands out through its texture rather than through glitter or crystals, and who like a sleek, clean silhouette under the saddle. The combination of an anatomical fit and a moisture-wicking cotton blend makes it just as usable for daily training as for competition.

If you set store by attaching your saddle pad to your saddle with keepers, this model is less suitable: it only has a girth loop. In that case you are better off with a version with billet strap keepers from our range. If you want more volume under the saddle, a thicker padded pad makes more sense, and if you would rather have a classic, quiet appearance, an evenly quilted model is the better choice.

When saddling up, pull the pad well up into the saddle gullet, so the anatomical shape really does leave room around the wither. As only the saddle and the girth keep the pad in place, it needs to sit well before you tighten the girth.

A plaited structure shows hair and dust more quickly. Knock the pad out after riding and brush the top gently. Let it dry completely before you store it, so the cotton blend can release the moisture it has taken up.

What is a plaited structure?
A braided surface structure. It gives the pad relief and sets it apart from the classic quilt patterns in diamonds or bands.

Does this saddle pad have billet strap keepers?
No, it only has a girth loop. That gives a streamlined silhouette without loose straps along the flank.

What is the anatomical fit for?
It follows the horse's back line and helps limit pressure on the wither and the spine.

What is the inner side made of?
Of a cotton blend. It is breathable and moisture-wicking, so sweat is carried away while you ride.

Is this saddle pad suitable for competition?
Yes, it is meant for both training and competition.

How does this model differ from an ordinary quilted saddle pad?
In the top structure and the finish: a plaited braided pattern with a raised 3D logo, and a clean attachment with a girth loop only.

How do I care for the plaited structure?
Knock the pad out after riding and brush the top gently. Let it dry completely before you store it.
