The range of saddle covers is large. When choosing a saddle cover for your horse it is important to pay attention to a number of things. First look carefully at the size and shape of your saddle. The saddle pad must be wide and long enough so that the saddle does not touch the skin of your horse. Your saddle cover must have a lining that ensures proper regulation of sweat and moisture.
