The saddle pad is a piece that we place between the horse's back and the saddle to absorb the animal's sweat and prevent it from getting through the saddle, as well as to protect the horse from possible chafing or damage to the saddle leather.
The usual saddle pads are rectangular in shape and are very easy to use since they only have to be folded before being placed. The pad type saddle pads are thicker and are composed of two layers with internal padding adapting to the shape of the saddle.
