Build Your Custom Saddle Pad
The OG Collection
The OG Collection
Our OG Collection saddle pad has been the core of the company since 2002. This top quality 100% needle-punched wool pad is 112 ounces per square yard, making it firm, durable and breathable. This pad is dark gray in color, and comes in several thickness options, to best suit your needs. 1″ and 3/4″ thickness. Shop for This Pad.
The Kush Collection
The KUSH Collection
The Kush Collection saddle pad is made from 100% high-quality, washed and pressed wool that is 136 ounces per square yard. It is durable and resistant to compression, yet soft and flexible. Properties of this pad allow it to absorb moisture, which aides in removing heat from the horse’s back. This pad is light gray in color, and comes in 1.25″, 1″ or 3/4″ thickness options. Shop for This Pad.
The Cadillac Series
The Cadillac Series
The Cadillac Series saddle pad, part of our CEO Collection, adds a 3/8″ closed-cell foam insert throughout the bars of the saddle, and an additional 1/4″ closed-cell foam insert placed strategically over the shoulders. It helps prevent the pad from collapsing in the area behind the shoulders by offering extra support. A great pad for team ropers, calf ropers, steer ropers and performance horses. Also recommended for senior and high withered horses. Shop for This Pad.
The BHS Series
The BHS Series
The BHS Series saddle pad, part of our CEO Collection, adds a 3/8″ closed-cell foam insert to help distribute saddle pressure over the bars of the saddle, and reduce the breakdown of the pad over the bars. This pad is great for high withered horses and poor saddle fit. This layered design is great for an every day work pad and is designed for lasting wear. Pair it with a 1″ or 3/4″ wool base pad for a great all day cowboying pad, or try it paired with a 1/2″ felt for what we like to call our “1D Lite,” designed with the barrel racer in mind. Shop for This Pad.
The Fleesar Series
The FLEESAR Series
The Fleesar saddle pad, part of our CEO Collection, adds a fleece lining to create an especially soft feel for added comfort, with more shock absorption, and even better moisture-wicking ability. The Fleesar is a great option if your current pad is rubbing your horse, or if your horse has thin or sensitive skin. It is dark gray in color, and is fully customizable. Shop for This Pad.
The Saddle Blanket
Best in show Saddle Blanket
Stand out with one of our 70+ saddle blanket colors ranging in sizes of 32×32, 36×34, 34×36, and 34×38. This stylish option is a showstopper in and out of the arena. It can be paired with any of our pad collections to create an all-in-one saddle pad that moves together in unison.
