Equi-Sential Cotton Quilted Numnah Saddle Pad
Description
Equi-Sential Cotton Quilted Numnah — Hard-Wearing Everyday Saddle Pad
The Equi-Sential Cotton Quilted Numnah is a durable cotton quilted saddle pad that sits under the saddle to cushion pressure and absorb sweat. It is best for riders who want a reliable, machine-washable everyday numnah for schooling, hacking and general yard work.
Velcro retaining straps and girth loops secure it to the saddle and girth, so the numnah stays in position throughout a session instead of sliding back. Browse more options in our saddle pads and numnahs collection.

- Pass the girth through the girth loops before tightening.
- Check the fit from both sides, then girth up gradually.
FAQ
What size numnah should I choose?
Match the size to your saddle length and your horse's build rather than height alone. Pony sizes suit smaller saddles, cob suits middleweight types and full suits larger horses with longer saddles. The numnah should sit just beyond the edge of the saddle flap.
Can I machine wash this numnah?
Yes. It is machine washable at 30 degrees maximum. Do not tumble dry. Brush off dried mud and hair first and close the Velcro straps before washing.
Will it stay in place while riding?
The Velcro retaining straps attach to the saddle billets and the girth loops hold the numnah against the girth, which keeps it positioned during work. Always lift it into the saddle gullet before girthing up.
Is it suitable for a general purpose or jump saddle?
It is a general-purpose shaped quilted numnah intended for everyday riding. Choose the size that best matches the length and cut of your saddle flap.
How should I dry it?
Dry flat or on the line away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry, as heat can affect the quilting and the Velcro.
Can I use it with a half pad or gel pad?
Yes, it can be layered under a half pad, provided the combined thickness does not alter your saddle fit. Check wither clearance after adding any extra padding.
