Numnahs

Numnah

Numnahs are protective pads worn under the saddle. They add to the horses comfort and protect their back from friction and pressure.

Saddle Cloth

They follow in the line of the saddle. Saddle cloths serve the same purpose but are often just decorative.  Saddle cloths do not follow in the line of the saddle and extend behind it.

You can get artificial 'sheepskin' numnahs, natural sheepskins and quilted numnahs.

All numnahs are secured into place by...
-Light leather straps and buckles
-Nylon loops, which fit round the girth straps
-Velcro straps
-Strong elastic
-Leather loops



Saddle pads come in a wide variety of synthetic materials. They are designed to increase the horses comfort and protection. They are often used with a saddle cloth.
