Described as the most stylish saddle pad LeMieux has ever produced, the Loire collection exudes sophistication and class - showing style without showing off! Woven satin fabric gives these pads a beautiful sheen and super soft finish, adding a touch of luxury to your essential horse riding equipment. This season, we've updated this classic style with new contrast binding detail. The 100% natural bamboo material controls heat and sweat while efficiently wicking moisture away from your horse's skin. 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 pièce de résistance of the Loire Close Contact Square Saddle Pad is its unique metal badge on a leather mount in the lower back corner.
