Animo Saddle Pad West

Choose the version that matches your saddle: the jumping shape under a jumping saddle, the dressage shape under a dressage saddle. A pad in the wrong shape sticks out and slips more easily.

Rhinestone details stay at their best if you wash the pad inside out and without fabric softener, and if you let it air dry rather than putting it in the dryer. Knock out sand and dry mud first. If you want extra cushioning for jumping work or longer training sessions, combine the saddle pad with a separate half pad from our range. For a coordinated set, choose a matching fly veil from the same Animo line.

The West saddle pad suits the rider who wants a classic model with a discreet, smart sparkle, usable in training and at competitions. The cotton blend also makes it suitable for warmer days, because cotton breathes better than a fully synthetic outer fabric.

If you want a distinctly luxurious look instead, a velvet model from our Animo range is the better place to look. If you are after a completely understated pad without any sparkle, for example for use around the yard or under a strict dress code, a plain model from our range is the better choice.

Place the pad under the saddle with the technical lining against the back. If you want extra cushioning for jumping work or longer training sessions, combine it with a separate half pad from our range.

Knock out sand and dry mud first. Wash the pad inside out and without fabric softener, and let it air dry rather than putting it in the tumble dryer: that keeps the rhinestone details at their best.
