Imperial Riding Basic Dressage Saddle Pad
Use this size guide to find the correct size for Imperial Riding saddle pads. Imperial Riding offers saddle pads in three shapes — Dressage, General Purpose, and General Purpose Jump — each available in Shetland, Pony, Cob and Full sizes.
How to measure: the measurements below describe the saddle pad itself, not the horse. Compare against your current best-fitting saddle pad, or measure your saddle from pommel to cantle to estimate the right size.
- A — height at the front (withers edge)
- B — height at the back
- C — length along the spine (centre of pad)
- D — length at the bottom edge (GP Jump shape only)
Dressage Saddle Pads (cm)
| Size | A — Front height | B — Back height | C — Spine length |
| Shetland | 43 | 42 | 47 |
| Pony | 50 | 44.5 | 57 |
| Cob | 56 | 53 | 63 |
| Full | 59 | 56 | 66.5 |
General Purpose Saddle Pads (cm)
| Size | A — Front height | B — Back height | C — Spine length |
| Shetland | 41 | 40 | 47 |
| Pony | 46 | 45 | 60 |
| Cob | 49 | 48 | 64 |
| Full | 56 | 52 | 68 |
General Purpose Jump Saddle Pads (cm)
| Size | A — Front height | B — Back height | C — Spine length | D — Bottom length |
| Shetland | 41 | 36 | 47 | 41 |
| Pony | 46 | 38 | 60 | 46 |
| Cob | 48 | 44 | 65 | 48 |
| Full | 52 | 47 | 70 | 52 |
This size chart is a guideline. Saddle pads should extend 2–3 cm beyond the edges of your saddle on all sides. If your horse is between sizes, size up — a slightly oversized pad can be positioned further forward, but an undersized pad cannot fully cover the saddle panel.
