Why Horse Comfort Matters
Any horse rider knows that the horse must be comfortable for an enjoyable and safe ride. This holds true whether the rider is into show jumping, professional riding, racing, or just riding for leisure.
The Importance of Saddlepads
Saddle Fit and Quality
To ensure a comfortable ride, both a firm saddle and a well-fitted saddlepad are essential. These British-made saddlepads come in a wide range of styles and materials to meet the needs of even the most discerning riders.
Protection and Durability
The saddlepads are designed to fit well, offering optimal protection for the horse’s back. Made from the finest British wool, the high-quality numnahs use British wool pile in a 5 oz quilt with a rolled edge. These are not only durable but also stylish.
