Animo Wimat Flash Saddle Pad

Choose the version that goes with your saddle: the jumping model under a jumping saddle, the dressage model under a dressage saddle. That way the cut stays within the line of the saddle flap and the pad lies quietly. When you tack up, pull it well up into the gullet of the saddle so the wither stays free.

Velvet picks up hair and dust more visibly than a smooth fabric. Shake the pad out after riding and brush the top in one direction, so the pile stays lying nicely between two washes. The pad is built to keep its shape and appearance after frequent washing, but always let it dry completely after use before you store it.

This saddle pad suits riders who value appearance and at the same time want a pad that does its technical job. The velvet top and the geometric stitching come into their own best at a competition or during a clinic, while the shock-absorbing and breathable lining makes it just as usable for daily training.

If you mainly ride outside in mud and rain, velvet is not the most practical outer material and you are better off with a pad in a smoother fabric from our range. If you are looking for more volume under the saddle, a more thickly lined model from our range is a more logical choice.

When you tack up, pull the pad well up into the gullet of the saddle so the wither stays free. The breathable, shock-absorbing lining sits against the back.

Velvet shows hair and dust sooner than a smooth fabric. Shake the pad out after riding and brush the top in one direction, so the pile stays lying nicely between two washes. The pad is washable; always let it dry completely after use before you store it.
