Martin Saddlery Training Pad

Designed for the serious horseman, the Martin Saddlery Training Pad is a trusted tool used by top trainers such as Nick Dowers and Clinton Anderson. Perfect for starting colts and softening exercises for older horses, this pad offers a safe and effective alternative to a regular saddle, protecting both your horse and your tack.

Constructed with sturdy latigo leather, this pad is lightweight, durable, and easy to handle, making it ideal for a variety of training applications. The orthopedic-grade felt lining provides comfort while distributing pressure evenly across the horse’s back, and the front and back cinches help young horses acclimate to the feel of a saddle safely.

Strategically placed D-rings provide multiple tying or flexing positions, allowing versatility for training, desensitization, or sale preparation. The pad comes complete with two nylon long latigos and a flank cinch, giving riders everything needed for effective training sessions. Each strap is hand-oiled and hand-finished using traditional cowboy craftsmanship, ensuring quality and long-lasting performance.
