Care For Your Pad

Easy Care: Keeping your Equitex Pad pristine is effortless. Machine washable at 30 degrees (delicate cycle) with a max spin of 300 rpm, these pads resist dirt and hair accumulation, reducing the need for frequent washing. After riding, simply turn the pad upside down to air dry. Once dry, brush or wipe off any loose hairs or salt residue. For competition pads, they can even be hosed down or jet washed to achieve a pristine finish.
Please avoid folding your pad to prevent creasing the felt.

No 1 for Impact Absorption: Uber Breathable: Non-Slip: No Straps: Improved Saddle Fit: No Rubbing: Durable: Easy Care: Built in Half Pad: Premium saddle pad.

What sets it apart? It’s the combination of two powerful technologies:

  • The dense felt upper absorbs and disperses impact like no other material, offering natural shock resistance and pressure relief.
  • Beneath it, the Equitex integrated half pad provides precision spinal support, optimal saddle fit, and additional cushioning exactly where it’s needed.

Together, they create a dual-layer system that delivers the best back protection available in any saddle pad – without bulk, straps or compromise.

🐎 Unparalleled Back Protection: Our responsive foam inner core compensates for imperfections and expertly prevents pressure points, ensuring flawless weight distribution.

🌬️ Breathable and Moisture-Wicking: Engineered with the market's most breathable and moisture-wicking materials, Equitex Saddle Pads keep your horse cool and dry. Beneath, the high-quality TechVelvet surface resists dirt accumulation and boasts quick-drying, antibacterial properties.

🌦️ Built to Last: No matter the conditions—sweat, cold, heat, or rain—Equitex Pads remain soft and smooth.

🚫 Guaranteed Non-Slip: Silica grips firmly anchor the pad to the saddle, eliminating any unwanted movement in all directions. Notably, they won't adhere to your horse's coat. Ideal for barrel-shaped horses with minimal withers, these pads require NO STRAPS to stay securely in place.

🐴 Spine Clearance: Engineered with a generous 50mm clearance over the wither and spine, Equitex Pads maintain this vital clearance at all times, thanks to their slip-resistant design. Check your horse's spine after every ride—it will remain dry, even on scorching days, thanks to the continuous airflow provided by our pads.
