Designed for Close Contact Jumping Saddles

The LeMieux Suede Close Contact Square Ice Blue is specifically designed to fit forward-cut jumping saddles.

Its swept-back profile follows the shape of a close contact saddle, while the high wither cut provides additional clearance around the horse’s withers.

This carefully shaped design helps the saddle pad sit comfortably beneath the saddle without unnecessary bulk.

Luxurious Suede-Effect Upper

The LeMieux Ice Blue Close Contact Square features a premium suede-effect outer fabric.

Beautifully soft to the touch, the material creates the classic LeMieux appearance while remaining practical and easy to care for.

The delicate Ice Blue colour provides a fresh, elegant finish that complements a wide range of horsewear and rider clothing.

Breathable Natural Bamboo Blend Lining

Inside, the LeMieux Suede Close Contact Square features LeMieux’s signature natural bamboo blend lining.

Designed to absorb and control sweat beneath the saddle, the lining helps manage moisture during exercise.

The bamboo blend offers several practical benefits:

• 
  

  Breathable construction to encourage airflow



• 
  

  Moisture absorption and sweat management



• 
  

  Naturally anti-static properties



• 
  

  Antimicrobial properties



•

  Soft contact against the horse’s skin

The lining is designed to help minimise friction, making it particularly useful for horses with sensitive skin.

High Wither Cut for Comfort

The LeMieux Suede Close Contact Square Ice Blue features a high wither cut designed to accommodate the horse’s shape beneath the saddle.

This provides additional space around the withers when the pad is positioned correctly.

The contoured shape helps the saddle pad maintain a comfortable fit during exercise.

Soft, Friction-Free Binding

The saddle pad is finished with soft, contoured, friction-free binding.

This carefully designed edging helps the pad lie flat beneath the saddle while reducing unnecessary bulk around the edges.

The smooth finish complements the pad’s comfort-focused construction.

PU Leather Girth Protection Area

The LeMieux Suede Close Contact Square Ice Blue features a durable PU leather girth protection area.

Positioned where the girth straps come into contact with the saddle pad, this reinforced section helps protect against everyday wear.

It also adds a smart finishing detail to the overall design.

Hidden Girth Keepers with Inner Loops

Designed for practical use, the saddle pad features hidden girth keepers with inner loops.

These provide additional girthing options, helping riders achieve a suitable fit with their saddle.

The discreet design maintains the pad’s streamlined appearance.

Elasticated D-Ring Attachments

The LeMieux Ice Blue Saddle Pad features elasticated, shaped D-ring tabs.

These allow the pad to be attached securely to the saddle, helping prevent unwanted movement.

The attachment design also leaves room for suitable additional training aids to be clipped on.

Signature LeMieux Detailing

Finished with subtle LeMieux-branded spine tape, the saddle pad combines understated detailing with its beautiful Ice Blue colour.

The luxurious suede-effect fabric and classic LeMieux styling make it a stylish addition to your horse’s everyday wardrobe.
