Horse Saddle Pads

Horse Saddle Pads – Comfort, Protection & Performance in Every Ride

A well-chosen saddle pad helps protect your horse’s back, improves saddle fit, and enhances comfort during every ride. Whether you’re training at home, competing, or hitting the trail, the right pad reduces pressure points, absorbs sweat, and prevents saddle slippage. It's one of the most important accessories in your tack setup.

At The Vet Shed, we stock a wide range of saddle pads in different shapes, colours, and materials to suit every discipline and horse type. Choose from dressage pads, jumping pads, all-purpose pads, and Western pads, with options designed to fit ponies through to warmbloods. Brands include Acavallo, Tekna, STC, Jeremy & Lord, and more.

Types of Saddle Pads We Offer

• All-Purpose Pads – Versatile shape for schooling and casual riding
• Dressage Pads – Straight-cut design to suit longer flaps and deeper seats
• Jump Pads – Forward-cut for close-contact and jump saddles
• Western Saddle Pads – Designed for Western saddles and trail riding comfort
• Correction Pads – Contoured or shimmable for improved saddle fit and pressure relief

What to Consider When Choosing a Saddle Pad

• Match pad shape to your saddle style (dressage, jump, GP, or Western)
• Look for breathable, moisture-wicking materials for comfort and hygiene
• Contoured pads are ideal for high-withered or sensitive horses
• Choose extra-thick or shock-absorbing pads for longer or more intense rides
• Select colours to match your gear or add personality to your ride

Our collection includes everything from practical everyday pads to stylish competition options. We also stock shaped pads for a sleek show-ring look and half pads for extra cushioning and customisation.
