Saddle pads play a crucial role in horse riding by providing a protective layer between the horse’s back and the saddle. They help distribute pressure evenly, reduce friction, and prevent injuries or discomfort to the horse.

There are different types of saddle pads available, including:

• Gel saddle pads
• Cotton saddle pads
• Memory foam saddle pads

Each type serves a specific purpose depending on riding style and horse needs.
