Questions & answers

What size pad do I need?

Answered by The Connected RiderMost adult Western saddles use a 31″ to 32″ pad, barrel and round skirt saddles a 28″ to 30″ pad, and youth and pony saddles a smaller pad. The pad should show an inch or two in front of and behind the saddle all around.

Can I use a blanket with a pad?

Answered by The Connected RiderYes. A Navajo-style blanket can go over a thin pad for looks and protection, or alone under a well-fitting saddle. Avoid stacking so thick that the saddle fits too tight.

How do I care for a wool blanket?

Answered by The Connected RiderShake it out and let it air dry after each ride. Spot clean with mild wool soap and cool water, and lay flat to dry.

Fit guide

Western saddle pad sizes and fit

Pad size	Usually fits
19"–26"	Mini, youth and pony saddles
28"–30"	Barrel, round skirt and short saddles
31"–32"	Most adult Western saddles
32"–34"	Long-skirted ranch and roping saddles

How to measure

Your saddle: lay it upside down and measure the skirt from the front edge to the back edge. Choose a pad 1" to 2" longer.
Pad size: sizes are listed length x width, like 31" x 32". Length runs front to back along the spine. Width runs edge to edge over the spine, so each side drops about half the width.
Thickness: measure at the edge of the pad, not at a wear leather or insert.

A good fit

Size: the pad should show an inch or two in front of and behind the saddle and below the skirts all around.
Withers: lift the pad up into the saddle's gullet before cinching so it does not press on the withers.
Thickness: 3/4" to 1" felt suits most saddles. Too thick a pad can make a saddle fit tighter.
Shims: shim pads with inserts help level a saddle on a horse with hollows or high withers.
