Care For Your Pad

Keeping your Equitex Pad pristine is effortless. Machine washable at 86ºF (delicate cycle) with a max spin of 600 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.

Non-Slip: No Straps: Improved Saddle Fit: No Rubbing: Durable: Easy Care: Built in Half Pad: Premium saddle pad.

A performance-driven saddle pad for serious riders, barn trainers, and competitors. Designed for both Close Contact and All-Purpose saddles, this pad combines premium materials with elegant design for everyday training or show-day performance.

Why It Stands Out

This pad features dual-layer technology for unmatched protection and fit:

  • Wool Felt Top Layer: Naturally absorbs impact and distributes pressure evenly. Felt is the trusted choice for long hours in the saddle.
  • Equitex Integrated Half Pad: Built directly into the pad for precise spinal support, improved saddle balance, and targeted cushioning.

No Straps. No Bulk. No Compromises.

The result is elite-level back protection and saddle stability — without shifting, bulk, or added straps.

Key Performance Features:

  • #1 in Impact Absorption – Built-in half pad supports and protects the back
  • Non-Slip Fit – Stays in place without the need for straps
  • Improved Saddle Fit – Enhances balance and contact
  • Anatomical Shape – Prevents rubbing and pressure points
  • Breathable & Lightweight – Keeps your horse cool, even during long rides
  • Durable & Easy to Clean – Designed for daily barn use
  • Velvet Outer – Iridescent finish with contrast piping for a polished look

Designed for U.S. Riders:

Ideal for hunter/jumper, equitation, and general English riding.
Supports the demands of barn work, training, and competition.
Fits most forward-cut saddle styles used in the U.S. market.
