This Premier Equine Close Contact XC Saddle Pad in Blue is designed for event riders and cross-country training, offering superior breathability, comfort, and protection for your horse. Its key benefit lies in its advanced material construction, which efficiently wicks moisture to keep your horse cool and dry during intense activity.

This saddle pad is specifically engineered for close contact saddles, which are commonly used for jumping and eventing disciplines.
You can machine wash the pad at 30 degrees Celsius on a gentle cycle. It is best to wash it separately or with similar colours. Always air dry the pad; do not tumble dry.
The Air Tech Mesh lining is designed to efficiently wick sweat and moisture away from the horse's body, helping to keep them cool and dry during intense exercise.
Yes, it features a 600-denier polyester girth panel, which offers excellent anti-rub durability and protection against wear.
The high-wither design provides extra clearance over the horse's withers, preventing pressure points and potential discomfort during ridden activity.
Yes, the saddle pad comes in a reusable zip-fastened storage bag, which helps protect it and makes transport easier.
While the pad offers excellent breathability and comfort, its design is optimized for close contact saddles used in disciplines like cross-country and jumping. For deep-seated dressage saddles, a different pad might be more suitable.
Ensure the adjustable D-loop straps are correctly fastened to the saddle's D-rings and that the pad is centered correctly over the horse's back, paying attention to the high-wither design.
While the pad is designed for moisture-wicking, extreme conditions may still lead to sweat. Ensure the pad is clean and free from blockages in the mesh lining. Consider the environmental temperature and the horse's fitness level.
Check that the girth is correctly positioned and not overly tightened. Ensure the 600-denier polyester girth panel is clean and undamaged. If the issue persists, consult with a saddle fitter.
Ensure the pad was washed on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees Celsius and air-dried. Avoid machine drying, which can cause shrinkage and deformation.
Setup:
This saddle pad is designed for immediate use. Ensure the high-wither design is correctly positioned over the horse's withers and that the adjustable D-loop straps are fastened securely to the corresponding D-rings on your close contact saddle. The pad should lie smoothly without any bunching.
Compatibility:
This pad is specifically engineered for close contact saddles, commonly used in disciplines like jumping and eventing. It may not be the optimal choice for deep-seated dressage or general-purpose saddles.
