are you a numnah or saddle cloth person? pics please

[gillianclaude]

I'm definately a saddlecloth person, or halfpad for when he needed the extra padding when he lost muscle. I own 2 numnahs, and I think I've only ever used them on him once.. I have far too many saddlecloths though!

To be honest it depends what in doing if I'm showing then nothing as the saddle fits well and it would distract from the horse

although if I'm hunting or jumping I use a proper sheep skin numnah as it is natural and absorbs the sweat. A White saddle cloth for dressage with our name on is appropriate for dressage tee hee that's about the only time we get dieva ish lol I can't even spell the word =)

I have always had saddlecloths-a variety of colours. My current fave is black with white sheepskin however after reading this think i might swap to numnahs...

Purely because ponyvis very short coupled and saddle cloths do swamp.him a bit! Think they might look better actually!

English - wool numnah for hunting, then usually polo/navaho blankets at any other time.

Western, saddlepad and/or blankets. I have two saddles that I use on many horses, what goes underneath depends on which horse.

I always use Saddlecloths, although I do have a fleece lined numnah but haven't used it for a year as prefer Saddlecloths,

I only ever had a numnah on my first pony and when showing/working hunter as had brown sheepskin lined ones for that

I only own one numnah, and thats her fluffy sheepskin one, the rest are all saddlecloths as they fit her better and look better as she's got a long-ish back. Not shown her yet but not sure what to do when I do as she's grey skewbald haha but will probably go black or white numnah if I can find one that is big enough and nice!
I think your horse OP looks best in the black one

Lovely photo!

I tend to use numnahs for hunting as it looks smarter imo!

Definitely numnahs only for me; saddlecloths belong on gymkhana ponies, they look very amateurish on horses.

Saddle pads all the way for me. As I right now I have a bit of a collection going...

What an odd thing to say Maesfen when nearly every pro rider in the world uses a saddle cloth to compete
