Buying tip:Weatherbeeta pads suit English riders in dressage, all purpose and jump saddles. Before you order, match the cut to your saddle flap: a dressage saddle needs the longer straight cut, and a close contact saddle needs the jump shape.

What riders say about Weatherbeeta saddle pads

Riders tell us three things matter most: airflow on hot days, a pad that stays put, and a color they like.

Weatherbeeta saddle pads

I own like 6 of these pads, and they're awesome. They're the only saddle pads I ever use now. The suede underside prevents slipping. PVC girth patch protects your pad. The colors are amazing. I love that they have D-ring straps instead of billet straps. And the A/P size actually works with both dressage saddles AND Australian saddles. Highly recommend.

Weatherbeeta saddle pads

On hunter paces, harder rides, hotter days, the Weatherbeeta pad is my first choice and my horses approve. I have noticed faster cooldown times and happier horses, even if only a slight difference. The contoured shape leads to a better fit under saddle and it doesn’t slip. I’ve noticed the sweat dries faster.

Weatherbeeta saddle pads

Purchased several of these a few years ago and they have held up very well, so I purchased a few more for the new second horse. Love the cotton top and no slide material next to the horse.

Weatherbeeta Prime Air-Tec All Purpose Saddle Pad

Love the color! Fits my mustang perfectly. The easy wick/quick drying material is great. I’m in the south where it’s already getting in the high 80s and this pad dries almost completely before I put my rack away after my rides. I also love the wither relief. Definitely recommend!

Weatherbeeta dressage saddle pads

This pad works so well with my horse’s conformation. He has high withers & other pad were putting too much pressure there. Even when I pulled the pads up into the gullet of my saddle, they always seemed to creep back down & pinch him. He felt like he was moving his shoulders more freely & seemed more willing to go forward.

Weatherbeeta half pads

My favorite half pad !! I've tried so many , at all different costs. This pad is the best ! The cover washes beautiful also. I remove the pads . They go back in when the cover is clean. I hang the cover to dry. Recommend highly !

Weatherbeeta dressage saddle pads

Perfect for my 14.3H pony. It fit him and my dressage saddle perfectly. Spine mesh really works as I see a big dry line down his back when I pull my tack off, even in 95 degree weather. I will definitely purchase more of these...

Weatherbeeta saddle pads

★★★★★

You cannot beat a Weatherbeeta saddle pad for the summer! Its construction is solid but it breathes to keep my pony cool. I ordered the Midnight Teal and the color is stunning!

In the Spotlight

Two finishes riders ask about most, drawn from the live range

Which Weatherbeeta saddle pad is right for you?

Start with the cut, because it has to match your saddle. A dressage pad has a longer, straight-cut flap, an all purpose pad is cut for a standard English saddle, and a jump pad follows the flap of a close contact saddle. Then choose the finish and the color.

Most Weatherbeeta pads share the same working parts: an Air-Tec mesh spine for airflow, a wick-easy lining that dries quickly, and a high wither design that lifts the pad clear of the wither. The table shows how the lines differ.

Weatherbeeta Prime Air-Tec saddle pads

Prime Air-Tec is the core Weatherbeeta pad: a quilted, pre-shrunk 100% cotton top, a wick-easy lining that dries quickly, an Air-Tec mesh spine, elasticized D-ring straps and a 1680 denier girth patch. It comes in all purpose, dressage and jump shapes, and the jump pad is also made in Pony.

It also has the widest color range on the page, from white, navy and black to brights.

Weatherbeeta dressage saddle pads

A dressage pad has a longer, straight-cut flap to sit under a dressage saddle. Weatherbeeta makes it in Prime Air-Tec, Suede Elite, Satin Luxe, Satin Pro, Soft Shell Pro 3D, Softshell Pro Grip and Velvet. Prime Air-Tec is the quilted cotton pad, satin and velvet give a polished look, and soft shell has a smooth, low-friction outer.

Softshell Pro Grip adds a silicone grip print and a zip pocket for treats or a phone. Satin Luxe has a bamboo blend lining and a removable long girth strap.

Weatherbeeta all purpose saddle pads

All purpose pads are cut for a standard English saddle, so they suit riders who school on the flat and jump in the same saddle. Weatherbeeta makes them in Prime Air-Tec, Suede Elite and Soft Shell Pro 3D, all with a high wither design.

Soft Shell Pro 3D has a close contact feel, and Suede Elite adds a vegan leather girth patch and a girth strap stabilizer to keep the pad where you put it.

Weatherbeeta jump and Euro jump saddle pads

Jump pads are shaped to follow the flap of a close contact saddle. Prime Air-Tec and Suede Elite come in a jump shape, and Satin Luxe, Satin Pro and Softshell Pro Grip in a Euro jump shape. Prime Air-Tec Jump is the only one also made in Pony.

Satin Luxe and Satin Pro have a removable strap that doubles as a key ring.

Weatherbeeta memory foam half pads

A half pad goes under your saddle pad or saddle to add shock absorption and, with shims, a little fit adjustment. The Memory Foam Comfort Half Pad is anti-slip, anti-microbial, anti-fungal and quick drying, and comes in One Size. The Fleece Edged version adds fleece edging and comes in Large.

The Shimmable Half Pad has a suede top, a channel for the spine and eight memory foam shims, with four openings for them. If you are shimming to solve a lasting saddle-fit problem, ask your saddle fitter first.

Roma saddle pads

Roma covers jobs the Weatherbeeta lines do not. The Baby Pad is a thin quilted polyester pad that works as an under pad or a quick-fix wither pad, and it is machine washable. The Mini Quilt Shaped pad has a Euro cross country shape with extra depth for girth protection, and the Fleece Top/Quilted Bottom pad is a close contact show pad in a 17in-17.5in size.

Weatherbeeta saddle pad sizes

The listings give a size name, not pad dimensions. Most Weatherbeeta pads are made in one size, Horse, so the choice is the cut rather than the length. If you are matching a particular saddle, hold the pad against the flap and the panel before you order.
