Saddle Pads
Standard saddle covers
Gaston Mercier's Pads and Cinches : A necessity for a complete high performance package.
The Gaston Mercier pads are especially designed for the saddles, with two key characteristics :
- The "Sympatex" underlayment : This material was chosen for the contact with the horse because it is supple, light, aerated, and wicks the sweat away from the horse. It is also easily cleaned and dries quickly.
For an aesthetically pleasing look, we offer four colors (blue, black, white and green color). - The "Cordura" surface in contact with the saddle is enduring and hydrophobic, so the sweat is repelled away from the saddle. An additional layer of foam or shock absorbing Sorbothane is also optional.
We offer three colors.
Now available as an alternative to "Sympatex" :
