Choosing The Best Numnahs For Horse Riding

By: Anirban Home | Recreation-and-Sports


Numnahs provides horse with protection from shock and chaffing, in addition to providing the riders the comfort. Most British made numnahs are made of layers of wool to ensure comfort while allowing the air to pass the wool. They are cut in the shape of a saddle and are designed to fit the saddle well. Good quality saddlepads are essential for the comfort of the horse and help in getting the best output. The right fit of the saddle is especially important in an event like horse racing where the comfort of the horse plays an important part in the outcome of the race or the joy of simply riding. Not only this, in horse racing the weight carried by the horse is minimized and the numnahs are designed accordingly.

British made numnahs are available in a variety of colors. Neutral colors are often used for show jumping and dressage events whereas brighter colors are seen more frequently during cross-country events and team events. There are many online stores which sell well-crafted and high quality numnahs and saddlepads online. These stores offer made-to-order services. In fact, for that extra bit of style, you can even have your numnahs embroidered. These stores have a large variety of numnahs.

However, if you have something special in mind these stores will also incorporate those specifications in the design of the numnahs. They take an outline drawing, create the pattern and digitize it into their computerized cutting machines. They then send you a calico sample for checking and once that is approved, they make the numnahs in the material and color of your choice. They specialize in creating the exact numnahs according to the guidelines and specifications required by any particular discipline, like horse racing, show jumping etc.

There are certain things which you need to check before choosing from British made numnahs for your racing horses. First of all, the numnahs and saddlepads should be of the right shape for the saddle flap and should fit the saddle properly. The size of the numnah and the saddle should match. It is always best to choose a numnah that can be cleaned easily. Nowadays, you can find numnahs that can even be machine washed!
