Quick Summary
The Basic Saddle Mat in Red is a saddle pad with a polycotton outer, a black honeycomb lining and built-in nylon straps. It also has a wave-quilted surface, double piping and a contoured back seam, giving it a defined fitted shape for use under a saddle.

Before You Decide
Check the red colour, the contoured shape and the built-in nylon straps before choosing an offer. The pad’s 5 mm padding and 300 g polyester fibre fill are the main details to compare if cushioning and feel matter to your setup. Follow the saddle and horse care guidance that applies to your own equipment when fitting it.
