What riders say about WoolBack
VERY well constructed pad. Leather reinforcement prevents wear and billet strap keeps things from sliding. Someone who rides endurance must have designed this hard to find pad.
I've ridden hundreds of miles in this pad and it has surpassed my expectations. I ordered it with the straps at the bottom of the flap so it never moves. I also choose the wear leather option - GREAT pad!
The WoolBack Edit
Wool that cushions, wicks and goes in the wash: WoolBack by Toklat
The sections below cover WoolBack wool saddle pads, roller buckle cinches, halter and noseband covers, how to size and wash them, and which riders the line suits.
Wool pads
WoolBack wool saddle pads that cushion long hours
WoolBack saddle pads from Toklat cushion a horse's back through long hours because the pile is dense virgin wool that Toklat says absorbs 80% of its own weight in moisture while letting heat escape. The Standard Western Pad is the everyday option for trail and ranch saddles. The Barrel Pad measures 26" x 29 1/2" and is contoured for barrel saddles, and the High Profile Barrel Pad adds a 27" x 30 1/2" cut with a contour for better fit over the withers. Endurance riders get the Endurance Pad and the High Profile Endurance Pad, both 29" x 40 1/2" and shaped for endurance saddles. The Black Felt Wither Relief Half Pad pairs a 3/4" polyester felt top with a WoolBack bottom and a cut-out over the withers; it fits a 17" to 18" saddle. Riders tell us these pads fit the saddle they were bought for and still let them feel the horse move underneath. Look elsewhere if you ride a flat English saddle and want a thin, shaped pad.
What Riders Say
This is one of the best purchases I have made for my horse. It is about a year old now, and has worked well for her through all seasons and what I call " body shape shifting", ensuring a good saddle fit. Tough, practical (except for color), great shape and size. My saddle has a round skirt, so square pads had an awful lot of useless material; this one is perfect. Thank you for providing such a quality product!
Fantastic pad, recently purchased for my Aussie saddle, fit just right, and gave enough comfort to not have any problems on a mountainous ride, but still was able to feel my horse move under me, highly recommend!
Cinches
WoolBack roller buckle cinches with a wool pile lining
WoolBack roller buckle cinches from Toklat put a wool pile lining against the horse, a resilient 1-inch pile that Toklat says wicks moisture away from the skin. The Competition Roller Buckle Cinch pairs a nylon spine with a stainless steel roller buckle that makes cinching easy, and the Competition Cinch uses stainless steel buckles and dee rings. The Deluxe Roller Buckle Cinch steps up to a double roller buckle on a webbing spine with a felt inner core for pressure distribution. Measure every one buckle end to buckle end. English riders get the Contoured Girth w/Double Elastic, a nylon spine with double elastic ends. All are made in the USA, and the Competition cinches hose off between rides. Look elsewhere if you want a synthetic lining that wipes dry; WoolBack is wool and belongs in the machine.

Covers
WoolBack halter and noseband covers for hauling
WoolBack halter and noseband covers from Toklat stop rubs on hauling days by putting a layer of virgin wool between the halter hardware and the horse's skin. Toklat calls the Four Piece Halter Cover Set a must for shipping: it covers the crown, cheeks and noseband, and the halter is not included. The Noseband Cover is the single-piece fix when the nose is where the halter rubs. The Cinch Cover is 4" wide and fits as a cinch or girth cover, adding the same wool pile where the strap meets the belly. Each one is machine washable on a gentle cycle and tumble dried low, so a trailer-dirty set goes straight into the wash. Look elsewhere if you need the halter itself, since these covers are the wool layer only.
Sizing and care
How to size and wash WoolBack pads and cinches
Size WoolBack pads by matching your saddle's skirt to the pad dimensions Toklat prints, then wash everything on a gentle machine cycle and tumble dry low. The table below pairs each printed size with the style it belongs to, so you can compare it with your own skirt. Toklat's easy-care instruction for the pads, covers and Western Seat Saver is gentle cycle, tumble dry low. The Competition cinches hose off between rides; to wash one, wrap the roller buckles in cloth, run a gentle cycle and tumble dry low. The Deluxe Roller Buckle Cinch and the Contoured Girth w/Double Elastic machine wash and line dry, and Toklat suggests a wire slicker brush to refresh the fleece. The Western Seat Saver is one size, fits most Western saddles and holds snug with elastic around the cantle. A Western pad should clear the skirt edge all the way around, so check width as well as length.

Who it's for
Who WoolBack is for: Western, barrel and endurance riders
WoolBack is for Western, barrel and endurance riders who want wool against the horse's back and a pad that goes in the washer afterward. Trail and ranch riders start with the Standard Western Pad, barrel racers with the Barrel Pad, and long-distance riders with the Endurance Pad. A Western Seat Saver adds an extra heavy wool pile to your own seat for long hours in the saddle. Riders tell us the cushioning suits horses that object to other pads, from a picky Arab mare to a hunt horse that had abrasion under standard pads. Look elsewhere if you want a fitted, close-contact English saddle pad for the show ring.
What Riders Say
I was trying this pad to see if it would help with some extreme riding over long distances during fox hunting. My saddle fits well but still had some abrasion with standard pads. This pad appears to have stopped the abrasion.
I love this saddle pad! It fits my horse and saddle perfectly. It provides just the right cushioning for my picky little diva of an Arab mare. She hates almost every saddle pad I have tried. She actually is perfectly happy working with this pad.
Questions riders ask
WoolBack FAQ
What is WoolBack?
WoolBack is Toklat's virgin wool fabric, used for saddle pads, cinches, girths and covers. Toklat describes a dense, resilient pile that cushions the horse's back and wicks moisture away from the skin. Browse the WoolBack pads first if you ride Western, barrel or endurance, then add a cinch or covers to match.
Can I machine wash WoolBack pads and cinches?
Yes. Toklat lists a gentle machine cycle and low tumble dry for the pads and covers. The Competition cinches can be hosed off between rides, and the Deluxe cinch and Contoured Girth machine wash and line dry. Check the care line on the product page for your style, then wash it after a sweaty ride.
Which WoolBack pad suits a barrel or endurance saddle?
The Barrel Pad and High Profile Barrel Pad are contoured for barrel saddles, while the Endurance Pad and High Profile Endurance Pad are shaped for endurance saddles. The High Profile versions add a contour for better fit over the withers. Compare the listed dimensions with your saddle skirt, then choose the closest match.
Do the WoolBack halter covers include a halter?
No. The Four Piece Halter Cover Set covers the crown, cheeks and noseband, and the halter is not included. The Noseband Cover is sold on its own for riders who only need the nose protected. Look at where your halter rubs, then pick the set or the single cover.
