Western riding is becoming increasingly popular with more and more people taking the reins and enjoying this casual, yet demanding riding style. Equitex have created the perfect Western Saddle Pad to compliment the western saddle and protect the horse’s back.
The western saddle is very different from the classic dressage saddle, and therefore requires a different shape saddle pad. It has a wider seat, is much heavier and bulkier so the addition of Equitex’s shock absorbing technologies is essential.
Designed carefully for the wellbeing and comfort of your horse, the most unique part of the Western Saddle Pad is what is hidden inside. Equitex use a unique tech-foam that gives with pressure and reforms immediately when the pressure is released. It is NOT memory foam! There are numerous layers of high-tech foam and shock absorbing material that are sandwiched together and then bonded to the outer layer of velvet which negates any creases, ridges, lumps or bumps therefore preventing any pressure points. It allows for total freedom of movement for the skin and muscles under the saddle promoting muscle development.
These pads are recommended to be worn in direct contact with the horse to benefit from all the amazing Equitex features. As with all Equitex saddle pads the Western pad is unique in that it will not increase bulk under the saddle, it provides unrivalled stability and support, ensures even pressure and a superb saddle fit.
Easy to care for, there is no need to wash an Equitex Saddle Pad after every use, just leave to dry and simply clean with a soft brush. After frequent use the saddle pad can be put in the washing machine at 30 °C and air dry.
