While horses may look graceful as they perform, they endure a lot of shock and discomfort that can not only affect their performance but their health as well.
Thatās where saddle pads come in. Because they play a huge role in your horseās welfare, you must ensure that you invest in the best saddle pads for your horses.
š Main Benefits of Saddle Pads:
ā
Help Improve Performance
One of the most significant benefits of saddle pads is that they help improve performance. The main reason for this is that they help absorb sweat from the horseās body, which could otherwise cause the saddle to slip. Sweat and heat under the saddle can also cause discomfort, thereby negatively impacting your horseās way of going.
ā
Keeps Your Horseās Back Healthy
Despite being incredibly strong, horses are also delicate creatures. (Ask any veterinarian!) They are prone to injury if not taken care of properly. Riding without a saddle pad (or using a bad saddle pad) can result in you damaging your horseās spine. Adding a good saddle pad ensures your weight is evenly distributed on the horseās back. It also helps cushion the horse from your weight during jumps, ensuring the force isnāt strong enough to cause other types of injury.

Protects Your Horseās Skin and Prolongs Saddle Life
Saddle pads help reduce the friction between your horseās skin and the saddle. This helps protect your horseās skin and muscles and prevents your horse from having a sore back. A good saddle is also essential to ensuring that your saddle lasts longer. Because it reduces the friction between the saddle and the horseās back, thereās less wear and tear.
