Do you need a saddle pad while horseback riding?

While you do not absolutely need a saddle pad while horseback riding, it can be very helpful. Saddle pads or blankets provide extra cushioning between the horse and saddle and protect the saddle from dirt and sweat. Many horse saddle pads are also made to absorb shock, distribute pressure and improve saddle balance. While a well-fitted saddle may be worn without a saddle pad, a saddle pad can help protect your horse and saddle and make your ride more comfortable.

What are the different kinds of saddles?

The different kinds of saddles include shaped, square, pillow, dressage and specialty saddle pads. Shaped saddle pads match the shape of the saddle, while square pads are rectangle shaped. Dressage pads are usually neutral colors with quilting for comfort and style. You can also find sheepskin pads with fleece lining and specialty pads designed to help reduce heat buildup, rubbing and friction. There are also gel and foam saddle pads made to decrease back pain as well as correction saddle pads that change the way your saddle sits.

How do you wash a saddle pad?

You usually wash a saddle pad with mild soap and water. Some saddle pads are hand wash only, while others may be machine washed. Check the care instructions for your particular saddle pad and follow them very closely. Saddle pads with wool or leather components may need to be spot cleaned only.

What size saddle pad do I need for my saddle?

The saddle pad size you need for your saddle will depend on your saddle's dimensions. A general rule of thumb for finding the right saddle pad length is to add 2-3 inches to the length measurement of your saddle. You should also consider the drop (or width) measurement to ensure proper mobility and comfort. Many Western and English saddle pads come in standard sizes, with English saddle pads generally being smaller.
