How to Match Your Western Saddle Pad to Your Riding Outfit

A coordinated horse-and-rider look can make a big difference in the overall picture.

With Show Skinz western saddle pad covers, you can change the look of your saddle pad to better match your shirt, tack, horse, or event without buying another saddle pad.

Start With Your Outfit

If you already know what you are wearing, use that as the starting point.

Look at the main colors in your shirt, jacket, or accessories and choose a Show Skinz design that coordinates with those colors.

You can choose a close match or use a complementary color for more contrast.

Consider Your Horse’s Coloring

Different colors can look very different depending on the horse.

Bright colors may stand out beautifully on a dark horse, while deeper or richer colors can create a striking look on lighter horses.

The goal is not necessarily to match everything perfectly. It is to create a balanced look that works well together.

Coordinate With Your Tack

Your saddle, bridle, breast collar, and other tack can also influence your color choices.

A Show Skinz cover can help tie your outfit and tack together while still letting you use the saddle pad that already works well for your horse.

Change Your Look for Different Events

You may want one look for everyday riding and another for a show, clinic, parade, photos, or special event.

Changing your saddle pad cover makes it easy to create a different look without changing your actual saddle pad.

Mix Color, Pattern and Texture

Show Skinz comes in a variety of colors, prints, shimmer, sequins, foil, and other designs.

You can keep things simple with a solid or subtle design, or choose something brighter and more eye-catching.

Keep the Saddle Pad You Already Love

Show Skinz slips over your existing western saddle pad.

Your regular pad stays underneath and continues to provide the fit and function. The cover simply gives you another way to change your horse’s look.

Show Skinz fits western saddle pads up to 32 × 30 inches and is machine washable.

One Saddle Pad. Endless Looks.
