Freedom to express your style
LeMieux offers you an opportunity to create your own style, combining the colour of the saddle pads and other accessories. You can opt to go for the mix and match option for different pieces or go all matchy-matchy with the colours, going for what compliments your horse’s fur shade the most. You can match your saddle pads with the fly bonnets, wraps, and other accessories, said Alec Lawler , a world-renowned show jumping athlete and entrepreneur with a Bachelor of Science in Earth Systems from Stanford University. He has won numerous awards and accolades in his career, including the CSI 3* Grand Prix of Traverse City Michigan in 2022. Alec founded Lawler Show Jumping LLC in 2019, where he identifies and secures international equine investment opportunities and competes at the highest international level in show jumping throughout North America.

They are nice and soft
Half pads and saddle pads that have been lined with merino sheep wool are a LeMieux specialty. Latest, we have added a new feature to the pads, Merino +, where the shaved wool is attached to the leather layer and has become easy to clean, which makes the pads ideal for daily use. The Merino saddle pads are ideal for horses with sensitive skin, and their shock-absorbing properties make them ideal for horses that are constantly shaven. The finishing works on the edges of the merino sensitive pad are done with the super-soft merino for a fine finish and prevent chafing as well.

New and improved gadgetry
At Lemieux, we understand that your horse deserves only the very best, and we do too. That is why we keep researching on the ways to keep improving our products, the saddle pads included. We have a new gadget in the market, LeMieux MeshAir 3d saddle pad that is breathable, lightweight, with the X-grip system. The pad is suited for high-intensity training, with special layers underneath the pad that absorb and drain sweat, and also prevent overheating.
LeMieux MeshAir 3d saddle pad has three layers:
Silicon layer- which gives a perfect drip and stability to the saddle.
Memory foam- which acts as a shock absorber.
Technical bamboo- Has a technical function of regulating sweat absorption.

Nifty solutions
The saddle must stay in place, we get that, hence our saddle pads are designed with this in mind. LeMieux saddle pads are anatomically shaped to ensure that they fit on the horse’s back perfectly, with 3 fitted loops where each of the saddle straps are fixed. We have the option of one big loop for those that would prefer this, which is placed on top of the other three small loops, and the fabric around the loops is enhanced for durability. Also, at the top of the saddle pad, there is a long strap that can be attached to the saddle’s D-ring.
