LeMieux Padded Shoulder Strap Saddle Carry Bag
Description
LeMieux Saddle Carry Bag - Shaped, Soft-Lined Saddle Protection
The LeMieux Saddle Carry Bag is a shaped, soft-lined bag for carrying and storing an English saddle. It is best for riders who move a saddle between the yard, the lorry and competition venues, or who want their saddle kept clean and protected at home between rides.
Contoured to the profile of a saddle, it uses a soft inner lining to guard leather, panels and stitching from knocks and scrapes, a large zip opening for easy access, a shoulder strap with two clip positions, and outer pockets sized for a girth.
Key Features
- Saddle-shaped construction that follows the contours of the saddle for a supportive hold in transit
- Soft protective lining to help prevent knocks, scuffs and scrapes to the leather
- Large zip opening for easy loading, lifting and unloading
- Shoulder carry strap with two clip placement options for a comfortable, balanced fit
- Outer pockets that keep a girth securely stored with the saddle
- Practical for shows, clinics, lessons, saddle fittings and off-season storage

How to Use
- Check the saddle is clean and dry, and remove any loose numnah or pad.
- Open the large zip fully and lay the bag flat or upright on a clean surface.
- Lower the saddle in pommel-first so it sits into the shaped section of the bag.
- Stow the girth in an outer pocket so it does not press against the saddle leather.
- Close the zip fully, then clip the shoulder strap into whichever of the two positions balances best for you.
- Carry on the shoulder or across the body, and store the bag somewhere dry and well ventilated.
FAQ
Will this bag fit my saddle?
It is shaped to fit an English saddle. Saddle seat sizes and tree widths vary, so allow a little room around the saddle rather than forcing the zip closed. Measure your saddle from pommel to cantle and across the widest point of the flaps if you are unsure.
Does it protect the saddle in the lorry?
The soft lining is designed to cushion against knocks and scrapes in transit. It is a carry and storage bag rather than a hard case, so still travel it wedged securely rather than loose.
Can I carry a girth in it as well?
Yes. The outer pockets are intended for keeping a girth securely stored so your kit stays together.
How does the shoulder strap work?
The shoulder carry strap has two clip placement options, so you can change the hang of the bag and balance the weight to suit your height and carrying style.
Can I store a saddle in it long term?
Yes, provided the saddle is clean, dry and stored in a dry, ventilated place. Avoid putting a damp saddle into the bag, as trapped moisture can affect leather.
How do I clean the bag?
Wipe the outer fabric with a damp cloth and let it dry naturally away from direct heat or radiators.
