LeMieux Jumping Saddle Pad with Free Spine

When tacking up, always pull the pad well up into the saddle gullet before you girth up. That way the spine channel and the high wither cut-out work as intended and the channel in the middle stays open instead of stretching tight over the back.

This is a pad for jumping work: the cut follows the shape of a jumping saddle. If you want to match your kit completely, combine it with an ear bonnet and leg protection in the same colour from our range. Because there are seasonal colours as well as classic colours, it is best to put such a set together straight away when you go for a seasonal colour.

Choose this saddle pad if you jump or do jumping training and like to give your horse room along the topline. It is the logical choice for horses that are sensitive around the back or the wither, and for riders who school daily and still want a pad that looks well turned out in the ring.

If you mainly ride dressage, a longer and straighter dressage model from our range sits better under a dressage saddle. If you are primarily looking for cooling on warm days, a version with a mesh structure is aimed more specifically at that. Bear in mind too that this model comes in size Full: if you have a pony or a smaller saddle, look at a pad that runs in several sizes.

When tacking up, always pull the pad well up into the saddle gullet before you girth up. That way the channel in the middle stays open instead of stretching tight over the back, and the wither cut-out keeps its room after girthing too. Secure the pad with the sturdy girth loops, so it does not fold or shift under the saddle. No washing instruction is given.
