Kentucky Saddle Pad Fishbone

Knock or brush the pad out after riding as soon as it is dry, so dried sweat and sand do not stay in the lining. Wash at 30°C and dry in the air; a tumble dryer damages the filling and the shape. Hang the pad up wide or lay it flat, so no crease sets into the topline.

If you ride several horses or ride every day, it is handy to rotate two or three pads. That way each pad gets enough time to dry completely and the lining stays supple for longer. For a finished look, combine the Fishbone saddle pad with an ear bonnet in the same colour line from our range.

The Fishbone saddle pad suits riders who are looking for a sporty, contemporary look and who use the pad both for daily training and at competitions, in dressage or jumping. It is a quilted saddle pad of medium thickness, meant as a comfortable layer between saddle and back.

If you are mainly looking for extra cushioning under the saddle, a thicker padded model or a separate half pad from our range is a more logical choice. If you prefer an understated, classic appearance over a pronounced stitch pattern, a plain or velvet-finished saddle pad fits better. If you need billet strap keepers, look at a model that has them. And for ponies, note that this model is offered in size Full.

Place the pad under the saddle and secure it with the girth loop.
