Care For Your Pad

Easy Care: Keeping your Equitex Pad pristine is effortless. Machine washable at 30 degrees (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.

#1 for Impact Absorption · Uber Breathable · Non-Slip · No Straps · Improved Saddle Fit · No Rubbing · Durable · Easy Care · Built-In Half Pad · Premium Saddle Pad

Designed with the unique needs of Icelandic horses and saddles in mind, this premium numnah-style saddle pad combines advanced comfort, smart design, and head-turning style. Its smaller, contoured shape fits shorter-backed breeds like Icelandics more effectively, reducing bulk while ensuring spinal freedom and saddle stability—even through extended tölt and pace work.

Whether you're training at home or riding in competition, this pad delivers performance where it counts. The built-in half pad offers superior impact absorption and back support without the need for extra layers, while the lightweight, velvet upper keeps your horse cool and comfortable on warm days.

The elegant iridescent velvet finish and refined ornamental cord detailing make this pad a standout—bringing together function and style for everyday schooling or show-day success.
