LeMieux Essence Eurojump Square Saddle Pad for Horses
Description
LeMieux Essence Eurojump Square Saddle Pad
The LeMieux Essence Eurojump Square is a jump-cut square saddle pad with a contour quilted soft shell upper, a moisture-activated self-cool lining and a full 3D carbon mesh spine. It is best for riders using a jumping or general purpose saddle who want temperature control and a close, wrinkle-free fit for schooling, jumping, clinics and competition warm-up.
Where a standard quilted numnah simply pads the back, the Essence works on heat: the lining is woven with cooling fibres that draw warmth away from the skin and wick sweat, and it works harder the hotter your horse becomes. Paired with the high wither shape, it is a practical choice for hardworking horses in summer, in busy schooling weeks and at long show days.
Key Features
- Contour quilted soft shell upper — shaped to hug the horse's curves without wrinkling under the saddle
- Self-cool lining — soft and breathable, woven with cooling fibres that transfer heat away from the skin and wick sweat
- Moisture-activated — the warmer your horse gets, the harder the cooling lining works
- Full 3D carbon mesh spine — maximum airflow along the length of the back
- High wither shape — reduces pressure and enhances your saddle's fit
- Elasticated saddle straps — slimmer at the D-ring connection to leave room for extra accessories
- Friction-free binding — contours the edges smoothly and helps retain the pad shape and binding profile
- Rubberised piping — clean, athletic aesthetic
- Faux leather girth protection — matte textured with embossed logo and hidden girth loop channels for precise girth placement
- Branded faux leather tab — a luxurious finishing touch

How to Use
- Place the pad well forward on the withers, then slide it back into position so the hair lies flat.
- Set your saddle on top, checking the pad sits evenly on both sides with the spine centred.
- Lift the front of the pad up into the gullet of the saddle to keep clearance over the withers.
- Thread the girth straps through the elasticated saddle straps and use the hidden girth loop channels to position the girth exactly where you want it.
- After riding, brush off hair and dried mud, then machine wash cool on a gentle cycle and air dry away from direct heat.

FAQ
What saddle does the Eurojump square suit?
The Eurojump cut is shaped for jumping and general purpose saddles, with a forward-cut front to sit correctly under a more forward flap. It is not designed for a straight-cut dressage saddle.
How does the self-cool lining work?
The lining is woven with cooling fibres that transfer heat away from the skin and wick sweat. It is moisture-activated, so the warmer and sweatier your horse becomes, the harder the lining works under the saddle.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure your current square pad from the front edge to the back edge and from the spine down to the bottom edge, then match those measurements to the size options listed. A pad that is too small will disappear under the saddle flap, while one that is too large will flap behind the saddle. If your horse is between sizes, size up rather than down.
Will it fit a high-withered horse?
The pad has a high wither shape to reduce pressure and work with your saddle's fit. Always lift the pad into the gullet before girthing up so it does not press down on the withers.
How should I wash it?
Brush off loose hair and dried mud first, then machine wash cool on a gentle cycle and air dry away from direct heat. Avoid fabric conditioner, as it can coat the cooling fibres and reduce their effect.
Can I attach accessories to it?
Yes. The elasticated saddle straps are deliberately slimmer where they connect to the D-ring, leaving room for extra accessories such as breastplate or martingale attachments.
