Horse Numnahs & Saddlecloths

Comfort and Protection for Your Horse

A well designed numnah or saddlecloth is essential for protecting your horse’s back and maintaining saddle stability. These pads act as a cushion between the saddle and your horse, evenly distributing pressure and preventing friction or rubbing during work. Whether you’re riding daily or preparing for a show, our collection offers the perfect balance of performance and comfort.

Saddlecloths for Everyday Use

Saddlecloths are a popular choice for schooling, flatwork and general riding. Their smooth, contoured shape ensures a neat fit under the saddle, while breathable materials help wick away sweat and heat. The Woof Wear CC Sheepskin Pad provides luxurious comfort with a sheepskin underside that reduces pressure points and prevents chafing — ideal for sensitive horses or longer sessions in the saddle.

Numnahs for Added Cushioning

Numnahs sit closer to the horse’s shape, offering additional cushioning and protection for both the horse and the saddle. They’re particularly useful for high performance or long distance riding, where comfort and stability are key. High quality stitching, durable fabrics and moisture wicking linings make our numnahs a reliable choice for all seasons.

Fit and Function

Choosing the right size and shape is important to ensure a secure fit and optimal comfort. A good numnah or saddlecloth should sit neatly beneath the saddle without creating pressure on the withers or spine. Keep pads clean and dry after use to maintain their shape and longevity.

Style and Quality

As well as their practical benefits, our numnahs and saddlecloths add a polished, professional finish to your tack setup. From everyday work pads to elegant show styles, you can ride with confidence knowing your horse is protected and looking smart.
