Horse Guard saddle pads are designed for riders who want comfortable and durable saddle pads for both training and competitions. At Unamari, we develop Horse Guard ourselves in collaboration with riders, which is why we understand the differences between each model down to the materials and details that set them apart in daily use.
The collection ranges from classic training pads to models with glitter, rhinestones, and more exclusive details. What they all have in common is a focus on the horse’s comfort under the saddle and on creating pads that work in practice.
At Unamari, you’ll find the entire range of Horse Guard saddle pads all in one place. This makes it easier to compare models and find the saddle pad that best suits your horse, your discipline, and your personal preferences.
When we develop new Horse Guard saddle pads, the process doesn’t start with colors or decorative details. It starts with the question of how the pad should function under the saddle.
For most riders, a good pad comes down to three things: comfort for the horse, materials that can withstand regular use, and a design that suits both riding discipline and style. That is why the Horse Guard collection consists of several different models that meet different needs.
Some riders want a simple and practical pad for daily training, where ventilation and moisture-wicking are the most important factors. Others want the same comfort features combined with a more exclusive look for competitions or special training days. That is why several of the models are built around the same basic principles, while materials, details, and design vary from model to model.
One of the areas we focus most on in the development of Horse Guard saddle pads is the management of heat and moisture under the saddle.
When the horse is working, heat naturally builds up between the back and the saddle. If moisture remains close to the skin, it can affect comfort and make the area under the saddle more damp and irritated during the ride. That is why several of Horse Guard’s most popular models feature Coolmax lining or other moisture-wicking materials.
Alvi, Galaxy, Glitter, Voni, Videl, Taleen, and Milva are all examples of models designed to help wick moisture away from the horse’s back during work.
On models such as Alvi, Voni, and Videl, this is combined with breathable 3D mesh along the spine. This is a solution we often use on models where ventilation is a high priority, because it helps increase air circulation in the area under the saddle.
When we talk to riders about choosing a saddle pad, the questions often revolve around fit and comfort.
A saddle pad shouldn’t just look good. It must also stay properly positioned under the saddle and create a stable surface between the saddle and the horse. That is why several Horse Guard saddle pads are equipped with well-designed girth straps that help keep the pad in place while riding.
The padding also plays an important role. The purpose is not merely to make the pad soft, but to create a more even surface between the saddle and the horse. Of course, a pad cannot solve the challenges of a poorly fitting saddle, but it can contribute to increased comfort and help reduce unnecessary friction while riding.
When we develop Horse Guard saddle pads, we know that most pads aren’t just used for special occasions. They are used again and again throughout the season.
That is why we place great emphasis on materials that can withstand regular use, repeated washing, and many hours under the saddle. Several of the models are designed with durable polyester construction and padding that helps the pad retain its shape over time.
The goal is simple: to create saddle pads that riders want to use again and again—not just because they look good, but because they work in everyday use.
Most Horse Guard pads are available as both dressage pads and jumping pads. Therefore, the choice is often less about discipline and more about which features you prioritize most.
As the developers of Horse Guard saddle pads, it is important to us that we always offer products that suit every situation in the arena, during training sessions, on trail rides, and at competitions. That is why we have developed a wide range of different saddle pads under the Horse Guard brand.
Some choose primarily based on ventilation and comfort under the saddle. Others place greater emphasis on design, colors, and the ability to coordinate a complete set with the rest of their riding gear.
That is why several of the models are based on the same fundamental principles of comfort and fit, while materials, details, and visual styles vary. This makes it possible to find a saddle pad that suits the individual rider’s preferences without compromising on the features that are important while riding.
If you’re primarily looking for a saddle pad for everyday riding, Alvi, Milva, and Videl are often the most relevant models to compare.
When riders ask us where to start in the Horse Guard range, Alvi is often among the first models we show. The model was developed with a focus on the features many riders seek in their daily riding: ventilation, moisture management, and a simple design that complements most tack.
Galaxy and Glitter are designed for riders who want something more personal than the classic saddle pads.
The choice between Galaxy and Glitter is therefore often more about style than comfort.
Valla, Voni, Ville and Taleen are designed for riders who want a more exclusive look.
Because we develop all Horse Guard saddle pads ourselves, we know the strengths of each individual model. That’s why we’ve gathered the entire range in one place, making it easier to compare models and find the pad that best suits your horse, discipline, and personal preferences.
Whether you’re looking for a simple training pad, a model with extra focus on ventilation, or a more exclusive saddle pad for competitions, you’ll find several different options in the Horse Guard collection. The goal of offering so many models isn’t to make the choice more complicated - but to make it easier to find a pad that fits exactly the way you ride.
