ICELANDIC SADDLE PAD - Dark Shadow
Saddle-shaped saddle pad for Icelandic horses in wool and bamboo, with a ventilated spine channel and removable D-ring straps
ICELANDIC SADDLE PAD is Nordic Liberty's saddle-shaped saddle pad for Icelandic horses, developed with one clear purpose: to work with the horse's body – not against it. Designed to keep your horse drier and more comfortable throughout the ride. The pad is made from the same materials and quality as our SADDLE PAD, but with a saddle-shaped fit in a 17" standard size, which follows the shape of the Icelandic saddle and stays still and secure under the saddle.
At its core is a carefully selected layer of wool felt (80% wool), known for its natural ability to regulate temperature and wick moisture away from the body. The underside is made from regenerated cellulose fiber (bamboo), which feels comfortable against the horse's skin and helps effectively wick away moisture – lightweight, breathable and quick-drying.
The outer material is a technical fabric made from 70% polyester and 30% recycled polyester with a water-repellent finish. The surface features a subtle textured pattern that combines durability with a refined look – hard-wearing, stylish and suited to a modern Nordic aesthetic.
Along the spine is an integrated ventilated neoprene channel with perforations, which improves air circulation and reduces heat build-up where the horse is most sensitive to heat. The pad is also equipped with removable D-ring straps, reinforcement at the billets and a soft, hard-wearing edge – all designed for everyday use and a long lifespan.
Dark Shadow: A deep off-black with a cool black undertone. Like a Nordic shadow – never completely black, always with a subtle depth that changes with the light. With its sleek design, the ICELANDIC SADDLE PAD matches the rest of Nordic Liberty's collection.

Temperature-regulating core
Nature's own temperature control. The wool felt core helps stabilize the horse's temperature and effectively wicks moisture away from the body during exercise.
Breathable bamboo underside
The underside is made of regenerated cellulose fiber (bamboo) — supports moisture wicking and ensures a dry and comfortable feel against the horse's skin during the entire ride.
Ventilated back channel
Perforated neoprene along the back improves air circulation and reduces heat build-up.
Interchangeable straps
