Care For Your Pad

Keeping your Equitex Pad pristine is effortless.

Introducing Equitex Saddle Pads: The World’s Premier Equine Back Protection

Crafted with meticulous care in the heart of Northern Italy, Equitex Saddle Pads represent the pinnacle of equestrian innovation. Designed for both horse and rider, these artisanal creations seamlessly blend advanced technical fabrics with unmatched comfort, style, and performance.

🐎 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. With no contact points marred by seams or stitching, there’s no irritation or rubbing to worry about.

🚫 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.

🧼 Easy Care: Keeping your Equitex Pad pristine is effortless. Machine washable at 30 degrees (delicate cycle) with a max spin of 600 rpm, these pads resist dirt and hair accumulation, reducing the need for frequent washing.
