Whether you are searching for an all purpose,dressage or pony pad, your choices are many and varied.

The English saddle pad now is a available in one or two sided fleece, a waffle pattern designed with honeycomb pattern to enhance airflow, a back relief English saddle pad made from foam rubber for the sensitive backed horse, and even a dressage English saddle pad with a diamond pattern filled with foam and polyfil cushioning.

When shopping for an English saddle pad be sure to ask around and at your local saddle retailer for information on the pad that would best suit you and your horse.
