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.

Equitex Total Contact Saddle Pad – Engineered for Treeless Comfort

Designed specifically for use with Total Contact Saddles (TCS), this Equitex pad delivers the structure, protection, and even pressure distribution your horse needs—without interfering with the close-contact feel these saddles are known for.

Total contact saddles require more than just any pad—they rely on the pad for shock absorption, spinal clearance, and pressure relief. This Equitex model is purpose-built to meet those needs, using our signature high-performance foam and intelligent shaping to support both horse and rider.

Whether you're trail riding, schooling, or working long hours in the saddle, this pad helps prevent pressure points, protects the spine, and promotes healthy muscle function—especially important in a treeless setup.

Key Features:

Designed for Total Contact Saddles – Built to work with the saddle, not against it.
Impact-absorbing foam core – Reduces pressure by up to 90% across weight-bearing zones.
Spinal clearance channel – Protects the sensitive topline and allows freedom of movement.
Close-contact feel – Minimal bulk under your leg while still offering total protection.
