The Saddle Pad for Horses with High Withers
The LoveHorses WHINNY anti-chafing saddle pad has been specially designed for horses with particularly prominent withers, a conformation that can make it difficult to use conventional saddles and saddle pads.
Thanks to its opening above the withers, the WHINNY anti-chafing saddle pad prevents direct contact between the saddle and this sensitive area.
Caratteristiche principali del sottosella anti-fiaccatura WHINNY
- Pressure relief at the withers: the opening at the top creates the necessary space to prevent contact with the withers.
- Upper pockets in which you can insert felt thickness: allow one or two pieces of felt to be inserted, depending on the height of the horse’s withers, to adapt the saddle pad to the horse’s individual conformation.
👉 The great advantage of the WHINNY saddle pad: Even if the horse already has a sore on the withers, it does not need to stop training until the skin has fully regenerated. It can continue working without making the existing sore worse.
Materials made in Italy: quality and durability for long-term use
The WHINNY saddle pad is crafted exclusively with 100% Italian fabrics, chosen to guarantee durability, comfort and long-lasting performance:
Outer fabric: cotton gabardine, available in different colors.
Inner fabric: honeycomb-woven cotton in natural ecru, pre-washed to resist shrinkage even after repeated washing.
All processes, including spinning, dressing and finishing to obtain honeycomb-woven cotton, are STANDARD 100 BY OEKO-TEX certified.
How to wash and maintain the WHINNY saddle pad by LoveHorses
Remove the felt insert from the pocket.
Hand wash or machine wash with standard detergent (softener allowed, no bleach).
Gentle spin and air-dry.
To preserve colors, dry inside-out in the sun, avoiding prolonged direct exposure.
