Derby Originals Premium Half Fleece Lined All Purpose & Dressage English Saddle Pads with Pockets

Really nice trail pad for the money. Super soft fleece, deep secure pockets, stitched well, nice gold border, and doesn't show the dirt much. I have the green one and it looks good on my gray horse. The only thing I've noticed that could be a concern is the edge where it rides on the top and back of the horse rubs a bit going down hill. Just enough to fuzz the hair. That could just be the way my horse moves and saddle fit etc. Overall great pad! I've used it alot and it has held up perfectly.

I absolutely love the softness and pliability of this pad. I love that there’s some extra padding in the form of fleece for the horses back. For reference this pony is 13 hands high this is a wintec synthetic pro dressage saddle for comparison. She’s only been ridden a handful of times but saddled with the pad about six times and seems really comfortable in it… so far no issues. I love being able to put my cell phone or extra things in the pockets. I also bought one in black for my almost 16 hand horse, and it looks just as good.

The saddle pad seems well made. This fits my older Wintec dressage saddle just great. I bought the dark blue color, but I wasnt fond of the yellow piping. I just wanted a dark blue saddle pad with pockets. I had to unpick one line (out of two) of stiching to remove the piping and then resewed the edge. Looks great. The pockets are very handy.

I have several of these saddle pads that I use for trail riding in the dressage size. They're made nicely, hold up to laundering, and the pockets are large enough to hold a sandwich in a plastic sandwich-sized container plus a small ice pack (alternately, a small bag of chips and regular sized drink fits, too). My only criticism is that the panels/the drop length are just a tad too short. Another inch of drop on both sides would make this pad perfect (I've used these on several different sized horses and dressage saddles, and the panels of my average sized dressage saddle come right to the bottom of the saddle pad, which makes it less than ideal to thread billets through the keeper loop at the bottom of the pad on the dressage-sized pad). That part is disappointing, but I make it work because the rest of the pad is very handy.

Just having begun riding in a dressage saddle, I needed to find a way to carry essentials, especially on longer trail rides. Someone on a horse forum mentioned this pad, so I bought it and couldn't be more pleased... the underside has a fleece half pad attached, and the full pad is perfect size with the pockets placed so that they do not interfere with my legs when riding. They are generous in size and will hold my phone, a water bottle and lunch, and a lead rope.So glad I found this pad! Well done, Derby!

I love this pad. It is a nice size and fabric. The pockets are great for all kinds of things. I usually forget to put on my gloves when I jump on my horse so now I keep them in the pocket. They are large enough to hold lots of useful items. Great job.

Nicely made saddle pad. I meant to buy the AP version but the dressage version works fine. The pockets are deep and are great for trail rides.

Love this pad for trail riding, nice roomy pockets for the "just in case" stuff I like to have with me on longer rides. This is the second pad like this I've bought so I can use one while I wash the other.
