About Saddle Pads

Saddle pads are one of the most essential pieces of tack in your kit, protecting your horse's back from friction and pressure while keeping your saddle clean and secure. At iRide EQ we stock a carefully curated range of saddle pads for Australian riders across every discipline — from everyday training pads to competition-ready designs with contoured wither clearance and moisture-wicking lining. The right pad improves saddle fit, absorbs shock and helps regulate your horse's temperature during work.

Our collection features saddle pads in a variety of shapes, including GP, jumping and dressage cuts, with options for every budget and style preference. Whether you need a durable cotton quilt for daily schooling, a technical moisture-wicking pad for summer, or a smart show pad for competition day, you'll find it here. All saddle pads ship from our Australian warehouse with fast delivery so you're never caught short before a competition or training session.

Why Shop Saddle Pads at iRide EQ?

Superior Shock Absorption

Our saddle pads feature advanced quilting and impact-absorbing materials that reduce pressure points and protect your horse's back. This means greater comfort during work and less risk of soreness after long rides.

Moisture-Wicking Technology

Many of our pads use technical fabrics that wick sweat away from your horse's skin, keeping them cool and dry even in the Australian summer. This helps prevent rubbing and maintains a healthy coat under the saddle.

Contoured Wither Clearance

Our pads are designed with shaped wither relief to avoid pressure on sensitive areas and accommodate high-withered horses. A proper fit means your saddle sits correctly and your horse moves freely.

Fast Australian Delivery

All saddle pads ship from our local warehouse, so you get your gear quickly without international shipping delays. Stock up on training and competition pads with confidence, knowing they'll arrive in days, not weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size saddle pad do I need?

Saddle pad size should match your saddle type and seat size. Jumping pads suit forward-flap jumping saddles, dressage pads have a longer straight shape for dressage saddles, and GP pads work for all-purpose saddles. If you're unsure, measure your saddle flap length and contact our team for guidance.

How often should I wash my saddle pad?

For your horse's skin health, we recommend washing saddle pads after every few rides, or more frequently in hot weather. Most of our pads are machine washable — check the individual product care instructions for best results.

Are these saddle pads suitable for competition?

Yes, many of our saddle pads are competition-ready with smart, clean designs that look the part in the show ring. Look for pads with subtle piping and tailored shapes that complement your competition saddle.

Do you stock saddle pads for high-withered horses?

Absolutely. We stock pads with contoured wither clearance specifically shaped for high-withered breeds like thoroughbreds and warmbloods. These designs prevent pressure on the wither and allow freedom of movement through the shoulder.

What's the difference between a saddle pad and a half pad?

A full saddle pad sits under the entire saddle and provides overall cushioning and protection. A half pad sits on top of a thinner pad or directly under the saddle and offers targeted shock absorption, particularly useful for horses with sensitive backs or when fine-tuning saddle fit.

How quickly will my saddle pad arrive in Australia?

In-stock saddle pads typically ship within 1–2 business days from our Australian warehouse. Metro delivery is usually 2–4 days and regional areas 3–7 days. You'll receive tracking details once your order is dispatched.
