Waldhausen Felix Saddle Pad with 15mm Foam Padding
Description
Waldhausen Felix Saddle Pad - Everyday Comfort Under The Saddle
The Waldhausen Felix Saddle Pad is a 100% polyester everyday pad with a 15mm foam layer, designed to distribute pressure and absorb shock beneath the saddle. It is best for leisure riders, riding schools and busy yards who want a breathable, sweat-absorbing pad for schooling, hacking and lessons rather than a specialist competition pad.
Its anatomical shaping follows the contours of the horse's back and the line of the saddle, which helps the pad stay in position and prevents it slipping during work. A timeless classic with an excellent price-performance ratio, it is an easy choice as a main pad or a spare in the rotation. Browse more options in our saddle pads collection.

- Slide it back into place so the front edge sits just behind the shoulder blades.
- Set the saddle on top, then lift the pad up into the gullet so it does not press on the withers.
- Thread the girth straps and girth through the pad's attachment points and fasten evenly.
- Check the pad extends just beyond the rear of the saddle flap and sits level on both sides before mounting.
- After riding, brush off hair and mud, air the pad fully, then wash as per the care label.
FAQ
What is the Waldhausen Felix Saddle Pad made from?
It is made from 100% polyester with a 15mm foam padding layer.
Does this saddle pad slip?
The pad has an anatomical design shaped to the horse's back, which helps prevent slipping. Always lift it into the gullet and girth evenly for the best result.
Which size should I choose?
Match the size to your saddle rather than the horse alone. Pony sizes suit shorter saddles on ponies and small cobs, while full sizes suit longer saddles on horses, cobs and warmbloods. The pad should clear the withers and extend slightly past the rear edge of the saddle flap.
Is it suitable for a horse that sweats a lot?
Yes. The pad is breathable and has sweat-absorbing properties, which helps in warm weather and during longer schooling sessions.
How do I wash the Felix Saddle Pad?
Brush off loose hair and dried mud first, then wash according to the care label. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh bleaches, reshape while damp and air dry fully before use.
What type of riding is it best for?
It is best for everyday schooling, hacking, lessons and general yard use where a dependable, good-value pad is needed.
