Supreme Products Sheepskin Merino Wool Show Numnah
Description
Supreme Products Sheepskin Numnah - Merino Wool Straight Cut Show Numnah
The Supreme Products Sheepskin Numnah is a straight-cut numnah made from 100% merino wool, designed to sit neatly under a showing saddle for a tidy, picture-perfect outline in the ring. It is best for horses and ponies competing in ridden and in-hand showing classes, and for any rider who wants a natural wool layer under a straight-cut saddle at home.
Merino wool is thermo-regulating, so it helps keep the horse warm in cold weather and cooler in the heat, while absorbing moisture and still feeling dry to the touch. The fibre is also naturally hypoallergenic, non-irritating, odour-resistant and extremely soft, making it a comfortable base for the saddle to rest on.

How to Use
- Check that your saddle is a straight-cut shape so the numnah sits discreetly beneath the flap.
- Place the numnah on the horse's back slightly forward of its final position, with the wool side down.
- Slide it back into place along the direction of the coat so the hair lies flat.
- Set the saddle on top, then lift the numnah up into the saddle gullet before girthing so there is no pressure on the spine.
- Girth up gradually and smooth out any wrinkles along the back and behind the elbow.
- After use, brush off dried sweat and hair, and wash as directed when needed.
FAQ
What is a straight-cut numnah for?
A straight-cut numnah follows the straighter flap line of showing and dressage style saddles, so it sits neatly out of sight under the saddle. It is not the ideal shape for deeply forward-cut jumping saddles.
Is this numnah suitable for the show ring?
Yes. It has been designed for showing, sitting tidily under showing saddles to give a clean outline in ridden and in-hand classes.
Why choose merino wool under the saddle?
Merino wool is thermo-regulating, so it helps keep the horse warm in cold conditions and cooler in heat. It absorbs moisture while still feeling dry to the touch, and is naturally hypoallergenic, non-irritating and odour-resistant.
How do I wash a merino wool numnah?
Hand wash, or machine wash on a cool or cold cycle with a gentle or wool detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Reshape while damp and dry naturally away from direct heat.
Will it fit my saddle?
Match the numnah to the cut of your saddle and check it extends slightly beyond the saddle panels all round. If you are between options, choose the shape that follows your saddle flap most closely to avoid rubbing.
Can I use it for everyday schooling as well as showing?
Yes. While it is designed for the show ring, the soft wool pile and moisture handling make it comfortable for flatwork and schooling at home.
