Supreme Products Royal Occasion Suede Saddle Pad
The Supreme Products Royal Occasion Suede Saddle Pad is a lightweight show saddle pad with a suede outer, cushioned shock-absorbing panels and a high-wither cut. It is designed for horses and ponies competing in showing classes, and works equally well for schooling and hacking at home.
CoolMax fabric helps wick moisture away from the back for improved breathability, while the signature gold binding and SP pin give the polished finish expected in the ring. Best for showing riders who want a smart, close-cut pad that still offers genuine comfort under the saddle.

How to Use
- Brush the horse's back clean so no hair or grit is trapped under the pad.
- Place the pad slightly forward on the withers, then slide it back into the lie of the coat.
- Position the saddle centrally on the pad so the panels sit within the pad edges.
- Lift the pad up into the saddle gullet before fastening the girth so it clears the withers and spine.
- Check the pad remains clear of the wither after a few minutes of work and adjust if needed.
- Remove after use, allow to dry naturally away from direct heat, then brush off hair and dried mud.

FAQ
Is this saddle pad suitable for showing?
Yes. It has a close-cut suede finish with gold binding and an SP pin, making it well suited to showing classes, and it is equally usable for schooling and hacking.
What does the high-wither design do?
The high-wither cut allows the pad to be lifted into the saddle gullet so it sits clear of the withers and spine, helping to reduce pressure and rubbing on horses with prominent withers.
What is CoolMax fabric for?
CoolMax is used for its moisture-wicking properties. It helps move sweat away from the horse's back and supports breathability, which keeps the horse more comfortable during work.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure the length of your saddle's panels and compare with the pad dimensions. The saddle should sit within the pad without overhanging at the back. Ponies and smaller cobs generally need the smaller option, while most full-size horses and warmbloods take the larger.
How should I clean a suede saddle pad?
Brush off hair and dried mud once the pad has dried naturally, and follow the care label supplied with the product. Avoid harsh scrubbing or direct heat, which can mark suede.
Can I use it for everyday schooling?
Yes. The cushioned panels and lightweight construction make it practical for daily flatwork and hacking as well as for the show ring.
