{"title":"Velvet Saddle Pads","description":"\u003cp\u003eVelvet saddle pads bring a depth of colour and a softness that technical fabrics rarely match. Every pad in this collection is cut from dense velour with an anatomical fit, shaped to follow the line of the horse's back so it sits close and stays steady under the saddle through a full session. Honeycomb quilting gives each pad its structure, helping it hold a crisp outline through regular and intensive training, while the soft pile helps distribute weight evenly and relieve pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection covers both disciplines. Velvet jumping saddle pads are shaped for close-contact saddles, while the dressage cuts carry a longer, straighter drop to suit larger flaps. Each model is finished with a decorative trim of 6 mm and 3 mm cords running around the perimeter — and on the crystal versions, a line of clear crystals with a metal element at the centre adds a measured touch of sparkle for competition days. Colour options range from quiet black, grey and navy to richer chocolate, burgundy and emerald tones, so there is a pad to match a minimal monochrome turnout as well as a bolder show-day look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the luxurious surface, these are working pads. The velour is easy to care for: a gentle hand wash keeps the pile soft, and the fabric dries quickly and keeps its neat appearance from ride to ride. Every order ships worldwide free of charge with duties included, so the price you see is the price you pay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I wash a velvet saddle pad?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGently, by hand. Shake off dust and hair, hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent, rinse and air dry away from direct heat — avoid machine washing and tumble drying, which can crush the pile. Our step-by-step guide, \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/blogs\/our-blog\/how-to-wash-a-velvet-saddle-pad\"\u003ehow to wash a velvet saddle pad\u003c\/a\u003e, walks through the full routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between a jumping and a dressage cut?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape. A jumping pad is cut to follow the forward flap of a close-contact saddle, while a dressage pad has a longer, straighter drop to sit neatly under a dressage saddle's longer flap. Choose the cut that matches your saddle, not the discipline you ride most often.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo the crystals withstand daily riding?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crystals are set into the cord trim along the pad's edge, away from the saddle contact area, so normal riding does not put pressure on them. Treat them kindly when cleaning — hand wash gently rather than scrubbing the trim — and they will keep their sparkle season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use a velvet pad for everyday schooling?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The honeycomb quilting is designed to hold its shape through frequent work, and the quick-drying velour recovers easily between rides. Many riders keep a darker shade for daily schooling and reserve a crystal model for shows.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"velvet-jumping-saddle-pad-valerie-equestrian","title":"Velvet Jumping Saddle Pad “Leadership”","description":"\u003cp\u003eOver a course, a saddle pad has one duty above all: stay put. “Leadership” is cut with a forward jumping profile and an anatomical spine line that keeps it settled under the saddle through take-off, bascule and landing, while dense blue velour cushions the back between fences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHexagonal quilting spreads pressure across the panel and keeps the pile springy wash after wash.
