Saddle Seat Pad

The Total Contact Saddle Seat Pad has been thoughtfully and scientifically designed to be the perfect partner to your Total Contact Saddle. 

The Saddle Seat Pad is designed to disperse pressure over the spinal area working in the same way as the Total Contact Saddle. It has been designed with the chunkier, flat-backed and more rounded horse in mind.

The Saddle Seat Pad is sculpted to a seat shape incorporating a small cantle, using layers of foam, and will give you more rider stability and a slight twist. The top layer of foam is a resistant layer for pressure dispersal to give maximum comfort for horse and rider and eliminates any pressure at all from riders who might have prominent seat bones.

Fully crafted and hand-finished in Kent with UK-sourced materials. Made with durable synthetic leather and Equi-suede. A truly British product.

The Saddle Seat Pad is available in Black and Brown colours and synthetic leather or Equi-suede finishes.

Synthetic Saddle Seat Pads

Your synthetic seat pad couldn't be easier to look after. Just wipe clean with a damp cloth after use.

Equi-Suede Saddle Seat Pads

If your Equi-Suede seat pad gets dirty, let the dirt or mud dry and then use a small stiff- bristled brush, such as a fingernail brush, to lift the dirt.

Ensure that your seat pad is stored in a damp-free place and not put away in anything other than a dry condition.

For further information on care and storage, please consult our Saddle Care Guide.

The Saddle Seat Pad has three loops and a Plastic T-bar clip on the front, this is so you can attach the Sadle Seat Pad loop to the D-rings on the front of your Total Contact Saddle to the size that you need; the back of your seat should touch the start of the cantle. The Saddle Seat Pad covers a
16" through to 18" seat. The Saddle Seat Pad measures 17" from the middle indented front to the back.

The Saddle seat pad works best with your choice of saddle cloth underneath, this way you keep the saddle seat clean.

I found the seat very comfy seems to put me in better leg position and back feels better supported. Still working out wether better with Suber pad under of the cavallo pad under , but with either can still feel What Dan is doing still have feeling of bareback . Dan seems to like it still has freedom of movement .

Very pleased with it thank you JH

Love this pad its so comfortable and having a shaped back gives me a better seat position. Also with the attachments to the tcs at the D rings i find that its so much quicker to tack up it just goes on in the right position first time rather than me have to check a few times to see that ive got it level and in the right position.  AF

What a lovely thing. I had been considering padding options, and then this. It fits my needs perfectly and is so comfy. It just felt 'right' as soon as I first sat on it. My horse seems happy too. Thank you. KG

Wow the seat pad has been just the thing, I previously had the tcs on a cl pad but my mare is a big mover and throws me backwards when she is a little fresh and I find the sheepskin slippery. What a difference the seat makes. I’d definitely recommend it. SC

LOVE IT! Wow! I was pretty sceptical.

I’ll write proper review later but rode in it at 06:30 before work and had to tell you!

This will make massive difference for people transitioning. AF 

I have tried the seat this morning.  It really does help! It's a great addition to the saddle.  Our menage is on a slope so the real test was the uphill trots, I didn't slide back as much and when I did move the cantle caught me and kept me secure.

Very pleased with this. It put me in a better position than before and although wasn't as restrictive or rigid as a conventional treed saddle it did the job I hoped it would and with just the one sheepskin pad under it. LN

I wanted to give you a quick update to let you know I love it!  As per our previous conversations, I was looking for a solution to help me feel supported in the back – I am happy to say the seat pad works great for this and my lower back pain after riding has disappeared and I don’t feel like I have to keep pulling myself forward to stay balanced. As for my other issue I was looking to fix – wanting a more narrow twist so that my hips do not feel pulled apart from my wide horse – the pad has worked for this too so far. I was concerned the pad might add more bulk, but so far so good! TS
