Shock Absorption That Keeps Your Horse Sound Over Fences

Every jump puts force on your horse's back — and over time, that impact adds up. The Professional's Choice English Jump Pad with Fleece gives you that critical layer of cushioning without adding bulk under your saddle. The synthetic fleece lining mimics natural sheepskin, dampening landing shock while maintaining the close-contact feel you need for accurate riding. From our barn to yours, this is the pad that keeps horses comfortable through long schooling sessions and demanding show days.

The forward-cut design is tailored specifically for jumping and eventing saddles, fitting cleanly along forward flaps without bunching or interfering with your leg. At 21.5" x 20.5", it provides full coverage under the saddle while wicking away sweat and preventing the heat buildup that leads to back soreness. Professional's Choice builds gear for serious riders — this pad is no exception.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size jumping saddle does this pad fit?

Following the 2-inch clearance rule, this 21.5" spine pad is ideal for jumping saddles with a seat size of 17" to 18". This ensures the saddle edges don't rest directly on your horse's back, which can cause pressure points and discomfort.

Q: How do I clean the Professional's Choice Jump Pad?

The synthetic fleece is designed for durability and easy maintenance. We recommend regular brushing to remove dirt and hair, and gentle machine washing on a cool cycle when needed. Air dry flat to maintain the pad's shape and cushioning.

Q: Will this pad work under a dressage saddle?

This pad is specifically cut for forward-flap jumping and eventing saddles. For dressage saddles with straighter flaps, we recommend a square-cut pad designed for that discipline to ensure proper fit and coverage.
