Kentucky Saddle Pad Wave

When you saddle up, pull the pad well up into the saddle gullet before you girth up, so the wither stays clear and the anatomical cut does what it was made for.

The cotton-blend lining absorbs moisture, so let the pad dry completely after riding before you store it. If you train often, it is worth keeping a second one in reserve. For a coordinated look in the ring, pair it with an ear bonnet in the same colour from our range.

Choose this saddle pad if you want a pad that is technically sound and also adds something visually to your equipment. The wave quilting makes it more recognisable than a plain pad, without drawing too much attention in the competition ring.

If you would rather have a completely neutral pad that matches every set-up and does not stand out, a plain basic version from our range is the more logical choice. If cooling on hot days is your first concern, a model with an open mesh structure is built more specifically for that. And if you want a luxury outer fabric such as suede, you are better off looking at a pad from that segment.
