Eskadron Saddle Pads

Eskadron saddle pads are some of the most recognisable on any competition yard — that combination of clean quilting, precise shaping, and co-ordinated seasonal colour is genuinely iconic. The full collection spans dressage-cut square pads, forward-cut jumping pads, and versatility shapes for everyday schooling, all available in whichever season's palette is running.

The core of the range is the Classic Sports line, which uses a breathable quilted cotton construction with a soft inner lining, anatomical wither cut, and deep girth loops that keep the pad in position through even the most energetic schooling session. They wash beautifully, hold their shape well, and they come up in consistent sizing — most horses that take a standard size stay in the same Eskadron size season after season.

For riders who want a bit more structure and a slightly more technical finish, the Softshell range adds a quilted outer layer that gives a crisper profile, particularly useful if you're going to a show and want everything to look sharp. Both lines are available in dressage and jumping cuts, so you can mix and match shapes without stepping outside the same colour story.

Each season Eskadron releases a new palette — typically four to six colourways, ranging from soft neutrals to bolder accent shades. The saddle pads are usually the first to sell through in the most popular colours, so if you've got your eye on something specific it's worth moving quickly.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      What's the difference between Eskadron Classic Sports and Softshell saddle pads? +
      Classic Sports pads use a breathable quilted cotton construction — lightweight, soft, and great for everyday schooling. Softshell pads have a technical quilted outer layer that gives a firmer, crisper profile, making them a popular choice for competition days when you want everything to look sharp.
      Do Eskadron saddle pads come in dressage and jumping cuts? +
      Yes. Eskadron offers both dressage-cut (square) and jumping-cut (forward-flap) saddle pads, along with versatility shapes suitable for general-purpose schooling. Both cuts are available in the current seasonal colour palette and in Classic Sports or Softshell styles.
      What size Eskadron saddle pad do I need? +
      Eskadron saddle pads typically come in Standard and Warmblood (WB) sizes. Standard fits most horses up to 16.2hh on a medium-width saddle tree; WB suits larger or broader-backed horses. Exact dimensions are listed on each product page. When in doubt, the WB tends to be the safer choice for warmbloods.
      How should I wash an Eskadron saddle pad? +
      Eskadron saddle pads can be machine-washed — typically at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid tumble drying, which can affect the quilting structure. Reshape while damp and allow to air dry flat for best results.
      Can I mix Eskadron saddle pads from different collections? +
      Eskadron colours vary by season, so exact colour matches between different seasonal drops can be difficult. For a coordinated look, the safest approach is to buy within the same seasonal collection, where all products use identical colourways across every product category.
