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

The jumper pad in navy on navy.

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, and it matters more than the color does. 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.

Specifications:

• Cut: Euro-styled jumper, shaped for a more forward jumping flap
• Shell: cotton with 8 mm foam
• Lining: Coolmax
• Fill: 300g poly
• Quilting: 1 in square

• Color: Navy on Navy
• One size
• Care: machine wash; line dry or machine dry on low heat

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:

A Euro-styled jumper cut, shaped to sit under a more forward jumping flap rather than under a straight all-purpose one. It is built on 8 mm foam with 1 in square quilting, 300g poly fill and a Coolmax lining against the horse, and measures 21 in along the spine with a 21 in drop.

Navy on Navy:

Navy is the traditional dark alternative to black. It hides a day's work the way black does, but it reads as a chosen color rather than a default, and it does not fade to the gray-brown that black cotton eventually reaches.

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.
