Navajo Fleece + Tassels

Colourful woven Navajo western saddle pad with fleece lining and tasselled corners — built for riders who want a proper saddle pad that won't compress under pressure.

Why Choose the Navajo with Fleece & Tassels?

Unlike cheaper western saddle pads that use sponge fillings, the Solo Navajo with Fleece features a genuine 40mm felt inner that maintains its shape ride after ride. The thick construction evenly distributes weight from your western saddle, preventing the saddle from sitting too close to the horse's spine and protecting your horse's back.

The hand-finished tassels at each corner add a classic western look that suits trail, polocrosse and gymkhana turn-out.

Felt Inner vs Sponge: Why It Matters

Sponge-filled western pads break down quickly, compressing into thin, lifeless padding within a season of regular riding. The 40mm felt inner on this Navajo pad keeps its loft year after year, which means consistent saddle fit and back protection over the long term — not just out of the box.

Care Tips

Brush off dried sweat after every ride and rinse the underside with cold water as needed. Hang to dry naturally — never tumble dry. The wool felt inner will see years of service if kept dry between rides.
