Why should I choose a wool saddle pad?

100% wool material has been used for saddle pads and blankets for centuries for a reason… IT WORKS! A hundred and twenty years ago almost all clothing was made of wool. Why is that? Because it breathes. No matter the weather conditions, it breathes and either keeps heat in for warmth or holds sweat in to help cool you down. The saddle pads and blankets made out of wool work the same way. As a horse sweats, the wool fibers wick this moisture to the surface to be cooled by the air which in turn cools your horse’s back.

Another advantage to wool is that it can be cleaned. Wool is easy to clean and air dried for use again and again. This cleaning restores the breathing attributes of the saddle pad and allows it to function the way it should.Wool pads offer the greatest comfort and compression protection for your horse. The denser the pad, the less it will compress under pressure, thus giving your horse a comfortable, enjoyable experience and allowing him to do his job to the best of his ability.

Wool is not only an all-natural choice, but it also out-performs all synthetic materials by offering superior moisture-wicking qualities and providing your horse protection from pressure while under saddle.

In addition to its moisture wicking and heat regulation qualities, wool also endures repeated pressure better than its synthetic competitors, making it the perfect base for the hardworking western rider. Wool fibers contain crimp, which gives wool its ability to breathe while resisting compression. Because it is a natural fiber, wool materials do not break down quickly like synthetic materials do when exposed to the heat, pressure, and sweat salts of heavy use.

Each Best Ever Pad is made from a wool foundation, making them durable and requiring little to no break-in time. The 100% wool pads are excellent at absorbing moisture, and wicking it away from the horse’s back to assist in heat removal.

The high quality breathable materials allow it to be used alone or with a Navajo.

How does your pad maximize comfort and protection?

Our handsome western saddle pads are specifically designed with your horse’s comfort and protection in mind. With that in mind, each pad is shaped into a two-piece contour design that allows for a comfortable fit, helping to eliminate pressure and discomfort along the horse’s spine, as well as helping to prevent over-cinching and saddle movement. Our pads are specifically cut to allow the cinch to mold naturally around the horse’s girth allowing for closer contact for the rider’s legs. In addition, a specially designed wither cutout over the withers allow for better clearance and reduced spinal pressure. Pads are also available in a variety of sizes to suit your specific needs, and are made using only the finest wool and leather products.
