LeMieux 3D Mesh Self-Cool Eurojump Square Saddle Pad
Description
LeMieux 3D Mesh Self-Cool Eurojump Square Saddle Pad
The LeMieux 3D Mesh Self-Cool Eurojump Square is a breathable jump saddle pad designed to keep horses cooler under the saddle in warm conditions. It is best for riders schooling, jumping or competing in hot weather who want maximum airflow and moisture-activated cooling next to the horse's skin.
The pad pairs a 3D mesh upper with a perforated foam inner and a Feel Cool lining, so heat is drawn away from the skin and escapes through the fabric weave rather than being trapped beneath the saddle.
Key Features
- 3D mesh upper with perforated foam inner for maximum airflow during exercise
- Space for heat to escape and cool air to flow in
- Feel Cool lining with moisture-activated cooling crystal technology throughout the fabric weave
- Cooling action works harder the harder your horse works
- Flexible mesh spine reduces pressure on the withers and back
- Increased air circulation through the saddle channel to cool the spine
- Eurojump square cut shaped for close contact and general purpose jumping saddles

How to Use
- Brush the horse's back clean and check the pad is free of dried mud and hair.
- Place the pad slightly forward on the withers, then slide it back into the coat's natural direction.
- Set the saddle centrally on the pad so the edges extend beyond the saddle flap.
- Before girthing, lift the pad up into the saddle gullet so it sits clear of the withers and spine.
- Girth up gradually and re-check the gullet clearance before mounting.
- After work, remove promptly and hang to air dry so the mesh and foam can recover.

FAQ
How does the Self-Cool lining actually work?
The Feel Cool lining fabric contains moisture-activated cooling crystal technology woven through the fabric. It draws heat away from the horse's skin and allows it to escape through the weave, and because it is activated by moisture it works harder the harder your horse works.
Is this pad only for summer use?
It is designed for training and performing in warm climates, so it comes into its own in hot weather. The 3D mesh and perforated foam also suit horses that heat up or sweat heavily under the saddle at any time of year.
Will it fit my jumping saddle?
The Eurojump square cut is shaped for close contact and general purpose jumping saddles. Measure your current pad or check your saddle seat size before ordering, as jump squares are cut shorter and more forward than dressage squares.
What if my horse is between sizes?
Choose the larger size. A pad that is slightly generous can be lifted well into the gullet, whereas a pad that is too small is pulled down onto the withers and spine.
Does it help with wither pressure?
The flexible mesh spine is designed to reduce pressure on the withers and back while increasing air circulation through the saddle channel. It does not replace correct saddle fit, so have your saddle checked by a qualified saddle fitter.
How do I wash it?
Brush off dried mud and hair, then machine wash cool on a gentle cycle with a non-biological detergent. Do not tumble dry, bleach or iron, as heat can damage the mesh and foam.
