Pictures What numnah should I use for showing?

[WelshCManiac]

Hello I am wondering (it's my first ever show in 2 weeks) what numnah I should use. I do know that you're supposed to use a close brown numnah but I've got a whitaker hebden saddle and don't know wether to get a show numnah or a working Hunter numnah...

Thanks
There is a file attached of my hebden so you can give some recommendations?

What show are you going to and what classes? (sorry not helpful, lol)

Whichever one fits the saddle best.
It probably doesn’t really matter but in your shoes I’d order 2 or 3, try them under the saddle and return the ones that fit least.

which ever fits under the saddle best. if the numnah doesnt fit correctly it can cause rubbing and sore spots so try a few and see

They will make to measure. Ensure you haven't got lots of sheepskin past the edges of the saddle for showing. Discreet, neat and colour to match the saddle.

Courtlea are not cheap, but they will last you a lifetime and will not rub. Hand wash and air dry. Mine are still as new despite being very old.

It depends on your saddle and how it fits your horse.

My son and I both have neat fitting cotton quilted brown numnahs on our jumping saddles, a thin numnah is all the saddles are used with normally.

However her show saddle which is slightly too wide for her we were able to buy a beautiful sheepskin showing numnah to fit it, and I must say it looks a million dollars when its on.

Hey I have visited the site before and they are certainly not cheap. This website is why I have queries, the working Hunter numnahs are quite forward cut compared to the straight cut showing numnahs...

Or don’t use a numnah at all much simpler

I don't like not using a numnah even though I know it's alright, I just don't like getting it dirty ( my pony is extremely greasy)

I have a nuumed brown sheepskin numnah I use for showing it fits my dressage saddle and the working hunter saddle fine, it sort of has a cuff of sheepskin on the wither and around the seat so that's all you can see when it's on.

Is it a Griffin, I've looked at them...
They seem affordable-ish and cheap.

None your saddle is supposed to fit without. Brown numed is often used though

It's similar to the NM03 WH on the nuumed site but mine is a half pad which they don't seem to do anymore.

Can only see it in white now, I have had it about 6 years it's fairly old.
