LeMieux Merino Loire Classic Close Contact Saddle Pad Walnut

LeMieux Merino Loire Classic Close Contact Saddle Pad Walnut

Combining style and function, the Merino Loire Close Contact Pad in walnut offers the luxury expected from the Loire collection, with the look and security offered in a half pad but without the added bulk under the saddle.

Woven Satin fabric gives a beautiful sheen to these pads whilst still benefitting from the wonderfully soft and breathable bamboo lining. The 100% natural bamboo material controls heat and sweat and wicks very efficiently to keep your horse cool.

The whole pad benefits from a new extensively-researched, soft, friction-free suede binding which is specially fabricated to smoothly contour the edges. This new technique helps retain the perfect saddle pad shape and binding profile. The textured PU leather girth protection area is complemented by an embossed logo and carries the usual signature LeMieux lower girth strap with its inner locking loops.

The piece de resistance of the Loire Close Contact Pad is its unique metal badge on a leather mount in the lower-back corner.
