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.

🚫 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.
