Coolmax® Jumper All-Purpose Saddle Pad - White/Navy

The jumper pad in white with a navy binding.

Ovation describes this as a Euro-styled jumper pad, cut to sit under a more forward jumping flap. That shaping is the reason to choose it, not the color. Underneath, it is a cotton shell over 8 mm foam with 300g poly fill and a Coolmax lining. Cotton is the side you see and wash. Coolmax is the layer against the horse, an engineered polyester with a channeled fiber cross-section that moves moisture along the fiber and out toward the surface rather than holding it against the back.

Fit:

One size, 21 in along the spine with a 21 in drop. That is a full-size horse pad. The pad should clear the back of the saddle without sitting out onto the loin.

What sets this one apart:

This pad is a Euro-styled jumper cut, shaped for a more forward jumping flap rather than a straight all-purpose cut. It is built on a cotton shell over 8 mm foam with 300g poly fill, 1 in square quilting and a Coolmax lining. It measures 21 in along the spine with a 21 in drop.

The navy binding:

The navy binding gives a white pad a finished edge and hides the wear line where the girth crosses, which is where a plain white pad shows its age first.

Why it is here:

A pad actually cut for a forward flap, rather than a square pad sold as all-purpose, is the specification doing the work. Ovation publishes the foam thickness, the fill weight, the quilt size and both dimensions.
