LeMieux saddle pads
Among the LeMieux saddle pads you will find Dressage Squares for dressage saddles, close contact saddle pads for jumping saddles as well as eventing and Eurojump cuts. The collections range from Loire with a satin top fabric and Essence in softshell to Aspen with herringbone or houndstooth pattern. For everyday training there are Work Pads, cotton and suede models, plus half-lined Merino+ pads.
Which LeMieux saddle pad suits your saddle?
The cut depends on your saddle: Dressage Squares are intended for dressage saddles, the close contact models, according to LeMieux, for jumping saddles with a more forward cut, and the eventing saddle pads for eventing saddles. Many models have a high wither cut-out and reinforced girth protection made of PU or synthetic leather. The lines differ in their lining: Loire, Aspen, Crystal, Suede and the cotton saddle pads are lined with bamboo or a bamboo blend, Essence with a self-cooling lining and the half-lined Merino+ models with a blend of 70 % merino and 30 % acrylic. For warm days there are the self-cooling 3D mesh saddle pads and the LMX Ultramesh Dressage Square made of multi-layer micro mesh. If your saddle tends to slip, take a look at the X-Grip silicone dressage saddle pad or the ProSorb models with two pockets for foam inserts. For ponies with a height of 114 to 132 cm there is the Mini Suede Close Contact saddle pad. You can find saddle pads from other brands in the Saddle pads category.
