Saddle pads are one of the biggest secrets to horse riders’ success. These purpose-designed cushioned pads are placed under your saddle to protect your horse’s back from weight, pressure, and friction. The result is a more comfortable ride for your horse every time and more grip and stability in the saddle for you.
Le Mieux is one of the world’s leading equestrian brands, offering a wide range of quality saddle pads that we proudly stock at Ayr Equestrian. Available for various riding styles, saddle pads from Le Mieux are created by the brand’s diverse team of equestrian enthusiasts who have many years’ worth of collective experience in owning, riding, and caring for horses.
Innovative Materials and Construction Techniques
Known for its innovative designs and expert manufacturing techniques, Le Mieux offers the latest in saddle pad technology to withstand all the demands of horse riding while keeping you and your horse comfortable, safe, and confident.
Saddle pads from Le Mieux are meticulously crafted from the finest quality materials, offering riders and horses the perfect blend of functionality, luxury, breathability, and comfort. The brand’s range includes saddle pads made from woven satin, natural cotton, and brushed suede, complemented by materials ranging from cooling mesh and anti-slip gel inserts to tactile merino wool.
The company’s saddle pads are also finished with a 100% bamboo fabric lining designed to wick away sweat and moisture from your horse’s skin. This reduces discomfort and chafing and provides the cosy cushioning your horse needs on the track or trails. The highly breathable fabrics used promote lasting comfort for both horse and rider, even in demanding weather conditions.
Le Mieux saddle pads are interwoven with advanced protective materials, including:

Le Mieux’s technical carbon mesh allows for the creation of highly breathable saddle pads that maximise airflow and sweat-wicking abilities. This enables both horses and riders to stay cool and dry in all conditions and seasons.
Cool Grip Fabric
Cool Grip material offers excellent cooling and anti-slip properties, helping to optimise your horse’s performance by preventing overheating and keeping your saddle securely in place.

The brand is also known for its innovative spine-free designs, which help to reduce pressure points along your horse’s body and safeguard them against the pressure of saddle and rider alike.
