SADDLE PAD - Dark Shadow

Horse saddle pad in wool and bamboo, with ventilated spine channel and removable D-ring straps

Nordic Liberty SADDLE PAD is a horse saddle pad 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. Through a combination of natural and technical materials, the pad achieves a balance of breathability, temperature regulation, and riding comfort. Available in COB/16" and FULL/17".

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 structure of the wool felt allows the horse to maintain a more stable temperature during exercise. The underside is made of regenerated cellulose fiber (bamboo), which feels comfortable against the horse's skin and contributes to effective moisture transport – lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying.

The outer material is a technical fabric made of 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 and stylish, and suited to a modern, Nordic style.

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, reinforcements at the girth and billets, and a soft, hard-wearing edge – all designed for everyday use and a long lifespan.

A modern dressage pad where natural materials and technical functionality come together. Designed for riders who refuse to compromise – on comfort, performance, or aesthetics.

Dark Shadow: A deep off-black with a cool black tint. Like a Nordic shadow – never completely black, always with a subtle depth that changes with the light. With its sleek design, the SADDLE PAD matches the rest of the Nordic Liberty collection.
