LeMieux Saddlery & Tack Accessories
Which LeMieux tack accessories do you actually need?
It depends on what your ride looks like. If you compete, a bridle number holder or saddle number holder (£19.95) keeps your number secure and smart. If your horse gets rubs from the girth, noseband or bit, LeMieux's Simuwool covers and rubber guards add soft padding exactly where it's needed. And if you just want to protect your saddle between rides, a fitted saddle cover from £24.95 does the job. This collection brings together 28 LeMieux saddlery accessories, with prices starting at £2.08.

What is Simuwool, and why is it all over this collection?
Simuwool is LeMieux's soft synthetic fleece, made to give the plush, cushioned feel of wool in an easy-care fabric. You'll find it on girth covers (£34.95), slip-on girth sleeves (£24.95), the noseband cover (£9.95), the chin/noseband guard (£8.95), a headcollar set (£26.95) and the seat saver (£39.95). The idea is the same everywhere: a layer of soft fleece between tack and skin to help reduce pressure and rubbing on sensitive areas.
Girth cover or slip-on sleeve — what's the difference?
The full girth cover (£34.95, sized Medium to X-Large) wraps the girth completely for maximum coverage, while the slip-on sleeve (£24.95, one size) slides over your existing girth for a quicker, lighter option. Both come in GP and dressage lengths — pick the one that matches your girth type.
What should competition riders grab from this range?
Number holders are the obvious one: the leather Bridle Number Holder (£19.95) attaches neatly to the bridle, the Saddle Number Holder (£19.95) sits on the saddle cloth, and the Diamante version (£24.95) adds a bit of sparkle. For travelling to shows, the Ride On Saddle Cover (£39.95, GP or dressage) protects your saddle in transit — and you can even ride with it on to keep the saddle clean while warming up.
How do you look after these accessories?
- Fleece items: brush off hair and dried mud after each use, and wash gently following the care label so the pile stays soft.
- Rubber guards and stoppers: rinse with water and check for splits before each ride.
- Leather number holders: wipe clean and treat occasionally with leather conditioner.
