Described as the most stylish saddle pad LeMieux has ever produced, the Loire Collection exudes sophistication and style, while delivering technical advancement .Woven Loire satin upper benefits from a wonderfully soft and breathable natural bamboo blend lining. The bamboo material controls heat and wicks efficiently to keep your horse cool under the saddle. The high wither shape reduces pressure and enhances the fit of your saddle. Elasticated saddle straps are slimmer at the point of connecting to the D-ring, leaving room for extra accessories. The whole pad benefits from an extensively-researched, soft, friction-free binding which is specially fabricated to smoothly contour the edges. This new technique helps retain the perfect saddle pad shape and binding profile. The textured faux leather girth protection area is complemented by an embossed logo and carries the usual signature LeMieux lower girth strap with its inner girth loops. A unique LeMieux logo metal badge on a leather mount in the lower back corner provides a luxurious finishing touch.
