The owners of light-colored horses or those who have clipped their horses in winter usually have to deal with the above-mentioned problems. The horses sweat while riding, which causes additional moisture between the coat and the saddle. Added to this is the friction, which leads to sensitive spots. Caro says: “My pony ‘Goldi’ is a palomino pony and naturally has very sensitive fur, and the skin is easily irritated. That’s why I found the sheepskin Saddle Pads to be the solution for us.”
Caro has tried many things and says, “I know many riders put a sheepskin pad under the Saddle Pad, but for me, that’s a worse option because the pad also slips and causes increased friction.” Therefore, she decided that this variant is not an option for her daily routine with Goldi.
That’s why we want to introduce you here to the Saddle Pad VELVET SKIN FRIENDLY from #KENTUCKYHORSEWEAR in more detail.
This Saddle Pad not only scores with its beautiful look that gives every style that certain something extra. This Saddle Pad is the solution to all problems caused by friction between the coat and the saddle. Thanks to an integrated vegan sheepskin from the withers over the entire back of the Saddle Pad, it offers the best possible protection between the saddle and your favorite’s back.
In addition to the excellent padding at the sensitive spots on the horse’s back, this great Saddle Pad also impresses with a beautiful appearance. A soft velvet fabric, quilted in a stylish herringbone pattern, makes the Saddle Pad a real eye-catcher. You can find this model of the ‘Skin Friendly Saddle Pads’ from KENTUCKY HORSEWEAR in four different colors: black, navy, beige, and dark green – the perfect colors for everyday use.
Besides its great functions, the Velvet Skin Friendly also scores with its production. All materials used are vegan, making the Saddle Pad 100% animal-friendly.
Caro has been using these Saddle Pads for quite some time now and doesn’t want to miss them anymore. On her Goldi, the Saddle Pad doesn’t slip at all. And regarding product care, Caro describes the Saddle Pad as easy to care for: “I regularly brush it out after riding and wash it at 20-30 degrees. It doesn’t shrink and keeps its great shape. The quality from Kentucky is truly incomparable.”
For her and her Goldi, the Saddle Pad VELVET SKIN FRIENDLY is the perfect solution because nothing rubs or presses on her pony while riding. One important tip is: “Of course, you should also make sure your saddle is properly padded. For example, I have my saddle adjusted directly to the sheepskin Saddle Pads, as they naturally require a bit more space.”
We are very convinced by the great Saddle Pad from KENTUCKY. We hope it can be a possible solution for you. Caro’s conclusion from her product test is: “All in all, I am very satisfied with the Saddle Pads and can wholeheartedly recommend them – I now have them in four different versions ?” We really hope we could help you and that you got a fluffy ray of hope.
