I've been trying to find a dressage numnah that isn't a saddle cloth. I'm finding the saddle cloth is getting in the way a bit when i go to use my schooling whip. The only one i can find online is by Nummed and its the high wither version that doesn't fit my horse.
Has anyone come across any online?
 
They all seem to be High wither versions which dont sit right on him. Its ok, Viovet to the rescue !!!! £13.00 for full white cotton dressage numnah. Perfect! I suppose you can use these to compete in? or is it just saddle cloths :/
 
I have a premier equine GP numnah that I use with my dressage saddle and you would think it was a dressage cut as not very forward cut. It is half wool but they may do an equivalent non wool?

Yes. If you're doing BD (or BRC now too) you need a number on both sides. You can use bridle numbers but a lot of people use saddle cloths with number holders. It's personal preference but if you're intending to affilitate it's worth knowing.

Finding numnahs of any kind is getting harder and harder. I can't stand saddle cloths but when I spoke to the man at LeMieux he said nobody wants numnahs anymore.

Thats the same as them saying 'everyone wants a flash noseband', its ruddy annoying, isn't it? :(
They kill off demand as they fail to supply, so the item falls out of use or can only be obtained by having bespoke.
 
Numnahs are IMO much more horse friendly than saddle squares, which serve no additional useful purpose and are just a fashion item. I particularly hate seeing saddle cloths used unnecessarily in very hot conditions like we had this last summer.

I hope that numnahs will continue to be available. I use the nuumed high wither or mattes correction numnahs. Aren't the nuumeds available in a non high wither cut too?

nope they only do a GP standard of wool lined. i was after a simple numnah cut for a dressage saddle that didnt have high withers.
Got there in the end, but yes it is a shame they seem to be hard to find
