LeMieux ProForm Moulded Dressage Saddle Pad for Horses

LeMieux ProForm Moulded Dressage Pad

The LeMieux ProForm Moulded Dressage Pad is a contoured dressage-cut saddle pad with a cushioning foam core, a bio-bamboo lining and a silicone gripper print that holds it in place without D-ring attachments. It is best for dressage riders and anyone schooling on the flat who wants a clean-lined, low-bulk pad that stays put and reduces rubbing.

Built using advanced manufacturing technologies and performance materials, the ProForm has no exposed stitching, a chamfered edge profile and a smooth underside, so there is very little sitting between your horse's back and the saddle that could chafe. It suits horses of all shapes and sizes.

Key Features

• Moulded dressage cut that follows the line of a long dressage flap for a close, tidy fit
• No exposed stitching, chamfered edges and a smooth underside to reduce rubbing
• Silicone gripper print maintains stability between saddle and pad and removes the need for D-ring attachments
• Cushioning foam core for even pressure distribution
• Antibacterial, antimicrobial, eco-friendly bio-bamboo lining for natural sweat-wicking and temperature control
• TPU-injected, highly abrasion-resistant girth protection area with low-profile integrated girth loops for multi-functional girthing

How to Use

1. Brush the horse's back so it is clean and dry before fitting the pad.
2. Place the pad slightly forward on the withers, then slide it back into position so the coat lies flat.
3. Set your dressage saddle onto the pad, checking that the moulded shape follows the saddle flap and the edges sit clear of the elbow.
4. Pass the girth through the low-profile integrated girth loops and fasten as normal.
5. Lift the pad into the gullet before final tightening so there is clearance over the withers and spine.
6. After riding, brush off hair and dried sweat, allow the pad to dry naturally away from direct heat and store it flat rather than folded.

FAQ

Does the ProForm pad need D-rings or billet straps?
No. The silicone gripper print maintains stability between the saddle and the pad, so D-ring attachments are not required. Low-profile integrated girth loops secure the pad at the girth.

What size dressage pad should I choose?
Measure the length of your dressage saddle flap and compare it with the size options listed. A dressage pad should extend just beyond the saddle flap without overhanging heavily or sitting short, and the moulded shape suits horses of all shapes and sizes.

Is the bamboo lining suitable for a horse that sweats heavily?
Yes. The bio-bamboo lining is antibacterial and antimicrobial and is used for natural sweat-wicking and temperature control, which suits hard schooling sessions.

Will it rub a sensitive horse?
The pad has no exposed stitching, a chamfered edge profile and a smooth underside, all of which are designed to reduce rubbing. Always check the fit under your own saddle and monitor the coat after the first few rides.

How should I store the pad?
Store it flat and never folded in half. Folding can crease the moulded foam core and affect the shape of the pad.

Can I use it for jumping or general hacking?
It is cut for a dressage saddle, so it is best used with a long-flapped saddle for schooling and flatwork. A general-purpose or jump-cut pad is the better match for a forward-cut saddle.
