Numnah or saddle pad?

[Paint Me Proud]

What is your preference?

For some reason I just cant abide saddle pads and only use numnahs.

Which team do you bat for?

 

[trefnantblackknight]

I like both numnahs for summer saddle pads for winter

Half way in between! Loving the new le meuix ones which are half pad half numnah

 

[Tiarella]

Saddlepads all the way! Numnahs never fit quite perfect and aren't very fashionable either

 

[Hippona]

Numnah.
Dont get the point of a saddlecoth unless you feel the need to add some tatty personalisation or bling.

them not being fashionable makes buying a decent interesting coloured numnah nearly impossible, but you can have any kind of saddle pad you want!

Both really, but I suppose mainly pads.

Ummm... please don't shout at my novicey question, but what's the difference? Is it the cut, the thickness? I've never really known

A numnah is saddle shaped, a saddle cloth is the big rectangle

i use sheepskin half pads....i would put something underneath to keep them clean but then it makes the saddle feel perched :/ i prefer pads but find they come up too long at the bottom for both taz and rio so i quite often dont bother but with taz i go with numnahs and Rio either half pad or saddle pad depending how im feeling and whats in the wash

Numnah

Saddle pad (saddle cloth)

Is that it? Thank you for the clarification

I prefer saddle cloths then as numnahs never seem to sit in an aesthetically pleasing way unless they are the sheepskin ones

 

[LovesBayPonies]

Numnah, purely because I have never found a saddle cloth that fits with my pony and his saddle. However I think a well fitted saddle cloth looks lovely and wish I could find one that fitted.

I don't like numnahs that don't fit the saddle exactly, or that slip and make the edges uneven, and I find saddlepads look a bit big on my short backed haffy but are probably my preferred of the two!

I love sheepskin half pads, have one but never seems to be appropriate fit wise... Also I use a geleze sticky type pad which I LOVE and is the bestest pad of them all!

 

[NativePonyLover]

Either/or! I use both - I like saddle pads as you can be a bit more colourful if the mood takes, but equally like the simplicity of a numnah.

I use both with a sheepskin half pad anyway.

 

[BlizzardBudd]

Either, I've never really thought about it. Which ever takes my fancy
