Best hunting numnah

[tashcat]

Hi all,

I'm on a lockdown boredom shopping spree and decided it's time for a new hunting numnah (even though the season is nearly over!!). Our saddle is cc so would ideally like something that provides a bit more comfort. I'd love to get something full sheepskin but the saddle is fit for a relatively thin numnah and the last thing I want to do is affect the fit! So ideally looking for something which offers comfort without having to change the saddle!

I have the saddler coming out soon, so I thought it would also be a good chance to have the numnah in time for him see and fit it.

Any suggestions welcome

Your choices are pretty narrowed down already tbh... but if you want comfort for the horse maybe a gel pad? I mean how thin exactly... my other thought was a pillowcase maybe...

ETA... I love the le mieux ones.

I don’t think you can beat a nice, plain, brown half wool Griffin NuuMed numnah for hunting. They are low profile, discreet and most importantly stay put. I’ve never had one go flat on the wither or travel backwards and they last for years if you look after them.

take a look at the VIP pad - it may be a better investment than a bulky numnah x

Thanks all!

We normally use a plain nuumed without any sheepskin in, but I've found it can rub a little at the bottom by the girth loop where he is clipped - he has super sensitive skin so it's not the numnahs fault, but I imagine the version you mention @Quigleyandme might do the same.. I found a 'lightweight' wool nuumed one that is 'less likely' to affect saddle fit.. I might ask the saddler what he thinks.
