not sure if this is the right place for this question! however ...

i need to stock up on saddle pads as i can't keep up with the washing!
what's your favourite brand of saddle pad?
i'm looking for 1 or 2 new saddle pads and 1 new numnah!
TIA
 
I really rate the le mieux work pads. Smart enough for RC comps and clinics but theybwash well and feel a really good value everyday pad.
Numnahs I don’t use as my saddle never seems to fit them quite properly (18inch forward cut jump saddle) so can’t help there...
 
I just use pads as don't get on with numnahs - I prefer Eurostar as they fit my saddle nicely & wash up lovely each time. Also have Eskadron but they are a slightly funny shape against my saddle, although another that wash up beautifully.

Have seen a lot of reports of LeMieux not washing well so have avoided on that basis, but they're very nicely cut.
 
He prefers his Epic pad from the big horse shop which is perfectly acceptable. I love his Weatherbeeta pad for the better fit to d rings and around girth but it only goes up to 'full' (really can't find many that do xfull) so could be a little more generous over his wither.
 
Only buy numed griffin now too many numahs and cloths are a tad short and numed make a great range and made to order as well .
My favourites are thin quilted cotton with a fine memory layer on top and a pocket for very thin shims love them .
 
I am having a grump re pads-why are they all so bloody huge? even the cob ones are big (when you can find them) and pony ones too wee. Don't want half my pony covered up-looks daft *scowls*
 
I have always used LeMieux numnahs but the latest ones just don't sit under the saddle as well as the old ones and keep slipping back. Luckily I have enough older ones for the two to share and they wash and dry quickly enough not to be a problem.
