Episode description

Dr David Marlin discusses - Why do we use saddle pads?

The reasons we might use a saddle pad could include:

  • Keeping the saddle clean
  • Wicking sweat
  • Improving saddle fit
  • To reduce saddle movement
  • Distribute rider and saddle forces more evenly and prevent high-pressure points
  • Fashion

Of these, probably the most important are distributing saddle forces evenly and reducing saddle movement.
