Anti-Chafing Saddle Pad for Horses with High Withers – WHINNY

Designed to Prevent Wither Sores and Reduce friction

The LoveHorses WHINNY anti-chafing saddle pad has been specially designed for horses with particularly high withers, a conformation that can make it difficult to use conventional saddles and saddle pads.

Thanks to its opening above the withers, the WHINNY anti-chafing saddle pad prevents direct contact between the saddle and this sensitive area.

Key Features of the WHINNY Anti-Chafing Saddle Pad

- Pressure relief at the withers: the opening at the top creates the necessary space to prevent contact with the withers.

- Upper pockets in which you can insert felt thickness: allow one or two pieces of felt to be inserted, depending on the height of the horse’s withers, to adapt the saddle pad to the horse’s individual conformation.

👉 The great advantage: the horse does not need to stop working until the skin has fully regenerated — it can keep training safely.

Materials made in Italy: quality and durability for long-term use

How to wash and maintain the WHINNY saddle pad by LoveHorses

• Remove the felt insert from the pocket.

• Hand wash or machine wash with standard detergent (softener allowed, no bleach).

• Gentle spin and air-dry.

• To preserve colors, dry inside-out in the sun, avoiding prolonged direct exposure.
