Combining the natural benefits of Merino wool with premium craftsmanship, the Merino Wool European Dressage Saddle Pad is made from Merino wool knitted onto a cotton yarn base, providing the comfort and performance of natural wool without the inclusion of animal skin. Wool’s naturally soft fibres are well suited to sensitive skin and are less likely to cause irritation for some horses. With the ability to absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture, Merino wool helps regulate moisture beneath the saddle, keeping your horse dry and comfortable during ridden work. Renowned for its exceptional natural properties, wool remains an outstanding choice for high-performance saddle padding.

A durable 600-denier polyester girth panel helps protect against rubbing, while double adjustable Velcro straps and adjustable D-loop straps provide a secure, reliable fit. Decorative twisted rope detailing and a European-inspired cut-away hem create an elegant, sophisticated appearance. Designed for both everyday schooling and competition, this premium wool saddle pad combines luxurious comfort with practical durability and is fully machine washable for easy care.

The innovative spine design has been developed to help minimise pressure points and enhance your horse’s comfort. 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 a redesigned spine without a clear-spine channel, providing a more consistent layer of natural wool beneath the saddle.

For added convenience, your Merino Wool European Saddle Pad (Dressage Square) is carefully hand-packaged in a complimentary, reusable zip-fastened storage bag. Perfect for keeping your tack room neat and organised, the bag also offers a convenient way to transport and store your saddle pad when not in use.
