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. 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. We offer options for every type of saddle and rider need, including: Our range includes gel pads, memory foam inserts, sheepskin linings, and technical fabrics to help manage heat and moisture during work. We stock quality saddle pads from leading UK and international brands, including: Whether you're looking for a breathable GP pad, a luxury lambswool numnah or a shock-absorbing gel half pad, we’ve got the right product for your horse and saddle. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
