Equi-Sential Comfort Pad Reversible Cotton Saddle Pad
Description
Equi-Sential Comfort Pad - Extra Thick Reversible Cotton Saddle Pad
The Equi-Sential Comfort Pad is a fully reversible cotton saddle pad with extra thickness, designed to sit between the saddle and the horse's back and made to fit 16 to 18 inch saddles. It is best for riders who want one hard-wearing, machine washable pad for everyday schooling, hacking and general yard use rather than a discipline-specific shaped numnah.
Its robust and resilient construction adapts to the individual horse's shape and the fit of the saddle, working as an efficient buffer between saddle and horse and helping to lower pressure over the saddle area. Browse more options in our saddle pads collection.

How to Use
- Check the seat size of your saddle - this pad is made for 16 to 18 inch saddles.
- Brush the horse's back clean and place the pad slightly forward of the saddle position.
- Set the saddle on top, then slide pad and saddle back together so the coat lies flat.
- Lift the front of the pad up into the gullet so there is clearance along the spine and over the withers.
- Girth up, then check the pad sits level on both sides and is not pulled tight across the back.
- After riding, brush off hair and dried mud, then machine wash and dry flat before the next use.
FAQ
What size saddle does the Equi-Sential Comfort Pad fit?
It is made to fit 16 to 18 inch saddles. Check the seat size marked on your saddle before ordering.
Is the pad really reversible?
Yes. It is fully reversible, so both sides can be used against the horse or on show, which spreads wear and gives you a clean side between washes.
Can it be machine washed?
Yes, the pad is fully machine washable. Brush off loose hair and dried mud first, wash separately and allow it to dry fully and flat.
Will the extra thickness change my saddle fit?
Extra padding can alter how a saddle sits, particularly on a close-fitting saddle. The construction adapts to the horse's shape and the fit of the saddle, but if your saddle is already snug, check clearance at the withers and along the spine once girthed.
What is it made from?
High-quality cotton, with a robust and resilient construction for everyday use.
What can I use it for?
Versatile everyday riding - schooling, flatwork, hacking and general work at home, acting as a buffer between saddle and horse.
