LeMieux Pillow Pad Suede Effect Saddle Pad Numnah
Description
LeMieux Pillow Pad - Pillowy Everyday Comfort Under the Saddle
The LeMieux Pillow Pad is a cushioned multi-discipline saddle pad with a suede-effect outer and a bamboo blend lining, designed to sit as a soft, airy layer between your saddle and your horse's back. It is best for riders who want low profile everyday comfort for schooling, lessons and hacking, in a neat rectangular shape that suits any discipline.
Low profile cushioning hugs your horse's curves rather than adding bulk, so saddle contact stays close while the bamboo lining manages sweat and heat. Minimal detailing and linear stitching keep the silhouette streamlined and easy to coordinate with the rest of your kit.

How to Use
- Choose the size that matches your saddle length and your horse's build - pony for smaller saddles and finer backs, full or large for cobs, warmbloods and bigger horses.
- Place the pad on the horse's back slightly forward of the saddle position, then slide it back into place so the coat lies flat.
- Set the saddle on top and attach the pad to the saddle billets or girth straps using the tabs provided.
- Lift the pad up into the gullet of the saddle before girthing up so it clears the withers and does not press on the spine.
- Girth up gradually and check the pad sits evenly on both sides.
- After riding, brush off hair and dried sweat, dry naturally away from direct heat and wash following the care label.
FAQ
What is the LeMieux Pillow Pad?
It is a cushioned multi-discipline saddle pad with a suede-effect outer fabric and binding and a bamboo blend lining. The low profile padding sits beneath the saddle to provide a soft, airy layer for everyday riding.
What discipline is the Pillow Pad best for?
It is a multi-discipline pad, so it suits everyday riding across schooling, flatwork, hacking and lessons. The rectangular shape works with general purpose, dressage and jump saddles alike.
What is the lining made from?
The lining is LeMieux's signature bamboo blend, which is naturally breathable, sweat-wicking, anti-static, antimicrobial and quick-drying.
How do I choose the right size?
Match the pad to your saddle size and your horse's build. Pony sizes suit smaller saddles and narrower backs, while full and larger sizes suit cobs, warmbloods and bigger horses. The pad should extend beyond the saddle flap on all sides without interfering with the horse's shoulder.
Does the Pillow Pad add bulk under the saddle?
No. The cushioning is deliberately low profile, so it adds softness and air beneath the saddle while keeping the rider close to the horse.
How do I clean it?
Brush off hair and dried sweat after each ride and allow the pad to dry naturally away from direct heat. Wash in line with the care label sewn into the pad.
