Designed to enhance comfort and protection beneath the saddle, this innovative dressage saddle pad incorporates specialist materials across key weight-bearing areas to help distribute pressure and reduce concentrated loading around the withers and spine. A perforated, shock-absorbing synthetic layer promotes airflow between the saddle and your horse’s skin, making it an excellent choice for sensitive horses that benefit from enhanced breathability during dressage training and competition. 

Naturally cushioning and thermoregulating, Merino wool provides effective shock absorption while helping to regulate moisture beneath the saddle. With the ability to absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture, the wool works alongside our advanced Airtechnology system to encourage moisture dispersal and help keep your horse dry and comfortable. Together, these technical materials create a protective layer designed to support comfort and help minimise friction and pressure-related discomfort. 

Our innovative spine design has been developed to help minimise pressure points and enhance protection beneath the saddle. Featuring an extended wool-covered surface across the entire under-saddle contact area, the natural fibres help wick moisture away from the skin, encourage more even pressure distribution and assist with shock absorption. 

Traditional clear-spine designs can create pressure along exposed seam lines, potentially contributing to rubbing, sores and uneven pressure distribution. To help improve comfort and protection, Premier Equine Merino Wool Saddle Pads feature an updated design without a clear-spine channel, providing a more consistent layer of natural wool beneath the saddle. 

Combining the natural benefits of Merino wool with advanced shock-absorbing and breathable technology, the Airtechnology Shockproof Wool European Saddle Pad (Dressage Square) is an excellent choice for riders seeking enhanced comfort, support and performance for their horses during everyday schooling and competition. 

For added convenience, your saddle pad is carefully hand-packaged in a complimentary, reusable zip-fastened storage bag. Ideal for keeping your tack room neat and organised, the bag also provides a practical solution for transporting and storing your saddle pad when not in use.
