Kentucky Saddle Pad Plaited Cord

Pull the pad well up into the saddle gullet when saddling up, so the wither space is preserved. After tightening the girth, check that the pad sits out evenly under the saddle on both sides: on a model without billet strap keepers, the initial placement matters a lot.

Wash the cotton blend without fabric softener, because softener holds back the moisture absorption of cotton. Brush the pad out once it is dry, and go carefully with a hard brush around the cord piping. Let it air dry rather than using a tumble dryer.

This saddle pad suits riders who want a well-groomed, timeless pad that looks smart both at home and at competitions. The plaited pattern and the cord piping give it character, while the clean design keeps it sporty.

If you would rather have a shine accent along the edge, the Kentucky range also includes a version with a glitter cord. And if you ride with a saddle where you like to secure the pad to the saddle flaps, you are better off choosing a model with billet strap keepers from our range, because the Plaited Cord does not have them.

What is a plaited quilting pattern?
A plaited stitch motif. It gives the saddle pad a more refined look than classic diamond or line quilting.

No, girth loops only. That keeps the line along the saddle flap clean and uninterrupted.

Does the pad stay in place during intensive training?
The anatomical cut follows the topline and the wither and keeps the pad stable under the saddle.

What is the lining made of?
A breathable cotton blend that absorbs and carries moisture away.

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

How do I keep the cord piping looking good?
Brush the pad out once it is dry and be careful with a hard brush around the piping.
