Kentucky Saddle Pad Leather Fishbone

Choose the version that matches your saddle: the dressage shape under a dressage saddle, the jumping shape under a jumping saddle. Because the pad has no billet strap keepers and is held only by the girth loop, it is all the more important to pull it well up into the saddle gullet when you saddle up. That keeps the wither free and stops the pad from dropping onto the spine.

Wash the pad at 30 degrees and let it air dry; leave the tumble dryer out of it. Wipe the synthetic leather binding dry after washing, so the leather look stays nice and even. For a coordinated turnout, match the colour of the pad to the rest of your equipment.

This saddle pad is meant for riders who train daily and who also value a neat, sporty appearance, both in the arena and at competitions. The combination of fishbone quilting and synthetic leather binding sets it apart from a plain standard pad, without making it flashy.

If you ride a pony or a smaller horse, this model is less suitable: it only comes in size Full. If you are looking for more cushioning under the saddle, for instance because your saddle presses in certain spots, a thicker padded pad or a separate half pad from our range is the better answer. And if you want a pad that also attaches to the saddle, look for a model with both girth loops and billet strap keepers.

Because the pad is held by the girth loop only, pull it especially well up into the saddle gullet when you tack up. That keeps the wither free and stops the pad dropping onto the spine.

Machine wash it at 30 degrees and let it air dry, not in the tumble dryer. Wipe the synthetic leather binding dry after washing, so the leather look stays even. No leather grease is needed.

Does it come in a dressage and a jumping version?
