Best affordable saddle pads?

[EllieLouLou]

I'm looking at getting some new coloured saddle pads but am stuggling to find anywhere that sells nice colours and isn't really expensive.
I love the le mieux colours but unfortunately my horse has sensitive skin and I'm worried they will rub as I have seen this is a common issue. Ive had a look around but I can't find many other brands that sell nice matching colour sets, does anyone have any recommendations?
Many thanks in advance!

Woof Wear do some nice colours or you could try Premier Equine and having looked at the Griffin NuuMed yesterday the half wool ones look lovely.

Eskadron do the matching sets so do HKM

Premier Equine stuff is good quality and will stand up to repeated washing in the machine! And you can get quite good discounts on them if you keep an eye out and sign up to their alert emails - they had some lovely pads on pretty good discounts a few days ago. And you can pick them up second hand.

Equest, Hy, Gallop and Rhinegold have budget priced coloured and plain ones.
Then the likes of Weatherbeeta, Ruggles etc, next price up is Lemieux and similar, before you get to PS, Eskadron, Equito, Anky, etc etc.

Mostly you get what you pay for, so expect a budget one to not last as long, perhaps not have a good as finish, velcro poorer quality, or not be quite the same size you expect.

Obviously there are many more makes out there in different price bands.
Happy shopping!

the Eskadron cotton pads are a fairly normal price, wash well and come in all the same pretty colours as the fancy pads. Particularly affordable second hand.

Mattes make lovely numnahs and pads, fully custom with any colour combo, and do ear wotsits and matching girths, they don't do bandages. Very seldom rub, but no cheaper than Le Mieux.

ARMA does really nice saddlepads in nice colours but I don't think that they have matching sets but you could match with similar colours. Hope this helps

I have a few lemieux but the thickness of the PS of Sweden pads would be ideal for a sensitive skinned horse, love them so much I dont think I'll bother with more lemieux ones. Know they are expensive but they have some nice colours in the sale / ebay

HKM do really good value saddle cloths in a variety of colours. I like the range which have a soft fleece lining but aren't too thick. They last well too, i have some that are 10 years old

Hopefully OP has managed to find what they're looking for in the three years since they first posted their query!
