We love this half pad for its clean design and ride-ready comfort.

Combining style and function, the Merino+ Suede Close Contact Square offers the excellence expected from the Suede collection, with the comfort and pressure relief of the product’s technical Merino+ blend, designed to fit forward-cut jumping saddles.

The product’s Close Contact pads are expertly designed for jumping, featuring a high wither cut, elasticated D-ring tabs, and a swept-back profile to provide an ideal fit for jumping needs.

The product’s Merino+ rolls deliver the look and security of a half pad without adding bulk under the saddle. The unique Merino+ blend combines natural Merino with technical fibers for style and performance, helping keep the saddle stable while reducing pressure on your horse’s back.

A durable suede-effect fabric upper pairs with the signature soft, breathable, friction-free bamboo lining. The natural bamboo blend lining material helps control heat and efficiently wicks sweat to keep your horse cool.

The entire pad benefits from extensively researched friction-free suede-effect binding, specially fabricated to contour the edges smoothly. This technique helps retain the correct saddle pad shape and binding profile.

A durable, textured PU leather girth protection area helps protect the pad from the rider’s boot, while signature LeMieux inner girth strap channels ensure a precise fit.
