Essence Close Contact

Designed for elite riders with technical performance that everyone can enjoy, the soft shell fabric of the Essence Collection of saddle pads exudes class.

The contour quilted soft shell upper, meticulously designed to hug your horse's curves without wrinkling, is teamed with a soft, breathable self-cool lining. The cooling material is woven with cooling fibres, controlling heat by transferring heat away from the skin and wicking sweat efficiently to cool your horse.

The warmer your horse gets, the harder the moisture-activated cooling lining works under the saddle. Combined with a full 3D carbon mesh spine for maximum airflow, this is a saddle pad uniquely designed for hardworking horses.

The high wither shape reduces pressure and enhances your saddle's fit. Elasticated saddle straps, thoughtfully designed to be slimmer at the point of connecting to the D-ring, leave room for extra accessories catering to your specific training needs.

The whole pad benefits from extensively researched, soft, friction-free binding that is specially fabricated to contour the edges smoothly. This technique helps retain the perfect saddle pad shape and binding profile. Sporty rubberised piping gives the pad a clean, athletic aesthetic.

The sporty matte-textured faux leather girth protection area is complemented by an embossed logo. Our signature LeMieux hidden girth loop channels mean you can precisely place your girth.

A unique LeMieux branded faux leather tab provides a luxurious finishing touch.
