10 Reviews: Best Saddle Pad for Pony (Nov 2023)

Shock, weight, and heat are distributed laterally across the gel via Impact Gel Technology, providing crucial protection. Because of this, you and your horse will benefit from an exceptional energy-absorbing fit that is high-performance, non-slip, and non-rollover protective for you both. Inconsistencies in the fit of your equipment are reduced as a consequence of the high impact reduction system, which results in improved contact between the saddle and the pony’s spinal column.

Therawool is woven from the same wool fibers as sheepskin pads but with a poly-acrylic backing. It is long-lasting, breathable, washable, hydrophobic, elastic, and protecting. Fleeceworks Even after washing, Therawool remains soft and fluffy, and brushing restores it to its natural look. There is no rolled edge under the rider’s leg to allow for tighter touch and less mass. Pony Small and Pony Large are the new pony sizes for this pad. The flaps on the Pony Large are 2 inches longer and 2 inches broader than those on the Pony Small. The seat dimensions are the same.

It’s extremely hard to find a show pad that fits a modern 15 short saddle, the size small fits the best we have found. It’s also well made and dresses up the saddle nicely with it’s nice thick wool border. Plus for a young rider it’s nice not having the cut out along the leg for better contact with the pony.

For pressure-free relaxation, the Shires Dressage Pad is a lovely extra-padded saddle pad with lots of space in the wither region for the horse’s back. This well-constructed pad is intended for use with children’s or tiny adult dressage saddles. It’s a high-end dressage pad with a lot of features. It features a double-color binding with piping on the edges. The diamond patchwork design on this saddle pad adds a stylish touch. It was also equipped with touch-tape billet straps and girth loops.

This pad seems to have all the straps (all of which are velcro, which I like) in the right place and fit a 15" children's dressage saddle very well. It's a nice weight and properly contoured. In short, it's better than other pads I've purchased for more money and it comes in a fun color!

This bareback pad for your mini is made of Cordura on the top, felt on the bottom, and an easy-grip leather handle. It also comes with a felt girth. Made in the United States of America. The length is around 16 inches, the drop is roughly 11 inches, and the girth is approximately 20 inches. The pad may be adjusted from 44 to 56 inches in length.

This is cute and well made but it is very small. It was too tiny for a 11 hand pony with a bit of a tummy. But it fit our 9 hand pony perfectly!

First, I have to applaud how quickly I received my saddle pad after ordering it - I think it only took two or three days. The purple color isn't as dark as in the photo, but I prefer what I got. It is much brighter and prettier. [...]
