While horses may look graceful as they perform, they endure a lot of shock and discomfort that can not only affect their performance but their health as well.

That’s where saddle pads come in. Because they play a huge role in your horse’s welfare, you must ensure that you invest in the best saddle pads for your horses.

💙 Main Benefits of Saddle Pads:

✅ Help Improve Performance

One of the most significant benefits of saddle pads is that they help improve performance. The main reason for this is that they help absorb sweat from the horse’s body, which could otherwise cause the saddle to slip. Sweat and heat under the saddle can also cause discomfort, thereby negatively impacting your horse’s way of going.

✅ Keeps Your Horse’s Back Healthy

Despite being incredibly strong, horses are also delicate creatures. (Ask any veterinarian!) They are prone to injury if not taken care of properly. Riding without a saddle pad (or using a bad saddle pad) can result in you damaging your horse’s spine. Adding a good saddle pad ensures your weight is evenly distributed on the horse’s back. It also helps cushion the horse from your weight during jumps, ensuring the force isn’t strong enough to cause other types of injury.

✅ Protects Your Horse’s Skin and Prolongs Saddle Life

Saddle pads help reduce the friction between your horse’s skin and the saddle. This helps protect your horse’s skin and muscles and prevents your horse from having a sore back. A good saddle is also essential to ensuring that your saddle lasts longer. Because it reduces the friction between the saddle and the horse’s back, there’s less wear and tear.

💙 Our Tack-Up Saddle pads were designed with comfort and style in mind. Each saddle pad has been designed with a spine-curved shape to ensure a great fit. The tack-up range is also to clean and very durable!
