Saddle Cloths, Numnahs & Half Pads

At Online For Equine, we stock one of the UK’s most comprehensive selections of saddle cloths, numnahs, and half pads. Whether you're riding at home, preparing for competition, or enjoying a weekend hack, having the right saddle pad is essential for your horse’s comfort, performance, and back health.

What’s the Difference Between Saddle Cloths, Numnahs & Half Pads?

Saddle cloths and numnahs are designed to sit between the saddle and the horse’s back, helping to cushion pressure, absorb sweat, and prevent rubbing. Saddle cloths are typically square-cut and suited to modern dressage, jumping, and GP saddles. Numnahs are shaped to follow the contours of the saddle for a close-contact fit, often favoured for traditional or working disciplines.

Half pads are placed on top of a numnah or saddle cloth to provide extra shock absorption and adjust saddle fit. They’re ideal for sensitive horses, those with high withers, or when your saddle needs subtle balancing.

FAQs

What is the best saddle pad for everyday riding?

A general-purpose saddle cloth is a great choice for everyday riding. It offers comfort, absorbs sweat, and fits most GP saddles used for hacking and schooling.

Should I use a numnah or a saddle cloth?

It depends on your saddle and riding discipline. Numnahs offer a neater, shaped fit and are ideal for close contact, while saddle cloths provide broader coverage and a modern look, often preferred for competition.

When should I use a half pad?

Half pads are ideal when extra cushioning is needed, particularly for horses with sensitive backs or if your saddle requires minor fit adjustments. Some are designed with shims to help rebalance the saddle.

What’s the difference between gel and memory foam half pads?

Gel pads mould instantly and offer strong shock absorption, while memory foam pads conform gradually to the horse’s back and provide even pressure distribution. Each has its benefits depending on your horse’s shape and sensitivity.

Do I need a high wither pad?

If your horse has a high or prominent wither, a high wither pad prevents pressure and rubbing under the saddle. It’s especially helpful for thoroughbreds or older horses with changing toplines.
