Saddle Pads & Numnahs

Saddle pads and Numnahs for Irish Riders

At Equijump, we understand that saddle pads are essential components for both horse comfort and rider performance. Our carefully curated collection combines premium materials with innovative design features to deliver superior protection and functionality for every discipline.

How do quality materials and construction enhance the safety and performance of our saddle pads?

The foundation of exceptional saddle pads lies in their materials and construction. Our saddle pads feature high-density foam cores and moisture-wicking fabrics that work together to distribute pressure evenly across your horse's back. The anatomically correct design supports proper saddle positioning while preventing unwanted movement during riding.

Premium materials like breathable cotton blends and technical synthetics ensure optimal temperature regulation and moisture management. These carefully selected components work in harmony with our half pads to provide comprehensive shock absorption and enhanced comfort for both horse and rider.

What safety features and testing standards are incorporated into our saddle pad designs?

Every saddle pad in our collection undergoes rigorous testing to meet international equestrian safety standards. Our quality assurance process includes comprehensive pressure point analysis and durability testing to ensure consistent performance under demanding conditions. The anatomical cut and reinforced wear points are specifically designed to prevent rubbing while maintaining proper saddle stability.

We partner with leading manufacturers who maintain strict quality control protocols throughout production. This attention to detail extends to our saddle accessories range, ensuring all components work together as an integrated system for optimal safety and comfort.

How can riders ensure proper fit and adjustment of their saddle pads for optimal horse comfort and performance?

Achieving the perfect fit starts with selecting the appropriate pad size and style for your discipline. Whether you're focused on jumper saddles or dressage, proper pad placement is crucial for maintaining balance and preventing pressure points. The pad should lie flat against your horse's back with adequate clearance around the withers and spine.

Our experts can assist riders by providing them with valuable advice in terms of evaluating factors like pad thickness, contour, and overall dimensions to complement their existing tack. Regular assessment of pad positioning and wear patterns helps maintain optimal performance and horse comfort throughout the pad's lifecycle.

What are the key maintenance and care instructions to maximise the longevity and effectiveness of our saddle pads?

Proper care extends the life and effectiveness of your saddle pad investment. Regular cleaning using appropriate methods helps maintain the pad's shape, cushioning properties, and moisture-wicking capabilities. We recommend daily inspection for signs of wear and thorough cleaning after heavy use.

Store your pads flat or hung properly to maintain their shape, and consider using saddle covers for additional protection during transport or storage. Our customer care team provides detailed guidance on maintenance routines specific to each pad's materials and construction.
