Animo Wento Saddle Pad

Velvet asks for slightly more care than ordinary cotton. Let mud and sand dry completely first and brush them out before you wash the pad; scrubbing it wet only works the dirt into the pile. After saddling, pull the pad well up into the wither channel, so the fabric does not pull tight over the spine.

For a coordinated look, combine this saddle pad with a fly veil from the same Animo line. If you want extra cushioning when jumping, you can combine the pad with a separate half pad from our range.

The Wento saddle pad suits the rider who turns up with a well-presented set at a competition or clinic and at the same time wants a pad that can handle daily work. The combination of velvet with a technical lining makes it suitable for both training and competition.

If you go through mud every day, prefer to rinse your saddle pad off quickly under the tap, or need it in the washing machine several times a week, a plain cotton saddle pad from our range is more practical. Velvet stays looking good longer with slightly more careful maintenance.

Lay the pad on the back with the technical lining against the coat; the velvet is on the outside. After saddling, pull it well up into the wither channel, so the fabric does not pull tight over the spine.
