Dressage Saddle Pads

A dressage saddle pad is square and long, cut straight to sit under the long flap of a dressage saddle. Check three things: the length must reach below the flap without touching the elbow, the spine channel should lift the pad off the withers, and the girth straps should lie flat. Quilted cotton suits daily schooling, velvet looks smart at shows, and the ThinLine Dressage Wool pad adds a shock-absorbing layer.

Our dressage pads come from Equestrian Stockholm (including Modern and Velvet), Le Mieux (Essence and Heritage), PS of Sweden (Signature, Monogram and Ruffle) and ThinLine, many with a matching ear bonnet. Most come in pony and full sizes.
