Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Mesquite Saddle Pad superior for my horse's comfort and performance?

The Professional's Choice Mesquite Saddle Pad is engineered with a multi-layered design focused on optimal comfort and performance. Its core features a 1" felt and foam combination center, specifically chosen for its superior shock absorption and ability to evenly distribute pressure, protecting your horse's back and preventing soreness. The 100% New Zealand wool blanket top provides natural breathability, while the soft, conforming fleece bottom actively wicks away moisture, promoting a cooler, drier, and more comfortable ride, which translates directly to better performance and less fatigue for your horse.

How does this pad manage moisture and heat to keep my horse comfortable?

The Mesquite Saddle Pad excels in moisture management and breathability thanks to its premium materials. The 100% New Zealand wool top is naturally breathable and known for its exceptional moisture-wicking properties, helping to regulate temperature and keep your horse's back cool. Complementing this, the soft, conforming fleece bottom actively draws sweat away from the horse, promoting a dry environment that prevents rubs and discomfort, even during extended or intense rides.

Is this pad built to last? What about its durability and longevity?

Absolutely. Durability is a cornerstone of the Professional's Choice Mesquite Saddle Pad. The pad's exceptional quality comes from its carefully constructed, hand-sewn three layers, which ensure structural integrity and a long lifespan. The use of premium 100% New Zealand wool for the blanket top, along with a robust felt and foam center, contributes significantly to its ability to withstand the rigors of daily use. Furthermore, the inclusion of rich brown wear leathers provides added protection against friction and wear from cinches and stirrups, making this a truly long-lasting investment for your equestrian needs.

How do I ensure this pad will fit my horse and saddle correctly?

The Mesquite Saddle Pad is commonly available in a versatile 30" x 34" size, designed to accommodate a variety of Western saddles and horse conformations. While the pad is designed to conform to your horse's back over time, it's crucial that your saddle itself fits your horse well. A saddle pad should enhance a well-fitting saddle, not correct the issues of a poorly fitted one. We recommend checking your saddle's skirt length and your horse's back length against the pad's dimensions to ensure adequate coverage, optimal stability, and proper wither clearance.

How should I care for and maintain my Mesquite Saddle Pad?

Maintaining your Mesquite Saddle Pad is key to preserving its effectiveness and extending its life. While wool felt pads are generally low-maintenance, regular cleaning is recommended. We advise brushing off dirt, hair, and sweat after each ride. For a deeper clean, carefully hand-wash the pad using a mild soap, ensuring you thoroughly rinse out all detergent. Allow the pad to air dry completely, which can be a multi-day process depending on humidity. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the pad's integrity. Regular cleaning helps keep the pad soft, pliable, and fully functional, preventing hardening from sweat and dirt buildup.
