Waldhausen Toulouse Saddle Pad for Horses
Description
Waldhausen Toulouse Saddle Pad
The Waldhausen Toulouse Saddle Pad is a smart, silk-look saddle pad with 10 mm foam and 200 g/m² padding, built to spread saddle pressure evenly across the horse's back. It is best for riders who want one tidy, hard-wearing pad for daily schooling, hacking and general yard use on horses and ponies.
Extra reinforcement in the girth area protects the pad where girth straps and buckles rub, while the functional underside supports breathability during work. Short saddle loops keep everything sitting neatly under the saddle flap.
Key Features

- 10 mm foam plus 200 g/m² padding for even pressure distribution

How to Use
- Place the pad on the horse's back slightly forward of the saddle position.
- Set the saddle on top, then slide both back together so the coat lies flat.
- Thread the girth straps through the short saddle loops on each side.
- Before girthing up fully, lift the pad into the saddle gullet to create clearance over the withers.
- Girth up gradually and check the pad sits clear of the saddle edge all the way round.
- After work, brush off hair and mud and allow the pad to dry flat before the next use.

FAQ
What size Waldhausen Toulouse Saddle Pad do I need?
Match the pad size to your saddle size. Pony sizes suit smaller saddles on ponies and small cobs, while full sizes suit most general purpose and dressage saddles on horses around 16hh and above. Once girthed, the pad should extend just beyond the saddle panel on every side without flapping.
What is the Toulouse pad made from?
The outer is polyester with a silk-look finish and the filling is polyurethane, combining a 10 mm foam layer with 200 g/m² padding.
Is this pad suitable for schooling and hacking?
Yes. The padding and breathable underside make it a practical everyday pad for flatwork, hacking and general yard use, and its plain, smart look also suits low-level competition.
How do I wash the saddle pad?
Brush off dried mud and hair first, then machine wash cool on a gentle cycle with a non-biological detergent. Do not tumble dry and avoid fabric conditioner, which can reduce breathability. Dry flat away from direct heat.
Does the girth reinforcement make a difference?
The girth area takes the most friction from straps and buckles, so the additional reinforcement is there to protect the pad at that point and help it last through regular use.
Will it fit a wide cob?
Fit is determined by your saddle rather than the horse's width, so choose the size that matches your saddle and check for wither clearance once tacked up.
