Crafted from premium North American wool felt, this pad is purpose‑built for endurance, trail, and traditional Australian saddles. The sweat flap, wither relief,, and front tying tab give you a versatile fit and secure attachment. Additionally, a nylon webbing strap keeps the flap in place on Australian saddles. As well, a leather wear patch reinforces the pad, giving the girth a durable surface to rest against.
- Wither‑Relief Cut‑Out – Provides extra room for high, narrow withers, reducing pressure points.
- Front Tie‑Off Tab – Allows you to fasten the pad to the saddle when desired for added stability.
- Nylon Webbing Strap – Holds the sweat flap firmly, preventing slippage during vigorous riding.
- Durable Leather Reinforcement – Leather strips run along the spine and contour the pad for a snug, long‑lasting fit.
- Premium Wool Felt Core – Naturally wicks moisture, conforms to the horse’s back, and breathes to regulate temperature.
Benefits of Wool Felt
Because wool felt is widely regarded as the optimal material for saddle pads, you’ll appreciate:
- Moisture Management – Fibres draw sweat away from the horse’s skin, keeping the back dry.
- Natural Conformity – The pad moulds to the horse’s shape, helping to eliminate pressure points.
- Breathability – Air circulates through the felt, preventing heat buildup.
- Seasonal Comfort – Your horse stays cool in warm weather and retains warmth when it gets chilly.

I just thought I’d let you know how much I like the wool saddle pad I got from you recently! I went for a very long ride the other day and it was a hot day (at least for us here on the coast!). When I unsaddled, the pad weighed about 3 times what it did when I saddled up. It had absorbed so much sweat that my horses back was relatively dry. Using a cotton pad, his back would have been much sweatier. I also found a great way to wash the pad – I simply hosed if off and after it had dried, brushed out the accumulated hair.
