Performance Meets Sophistication: The ARMA Elegance 2.0

We all know the struggle of a sweaty, slipping saddle pad during a heavy schooling session. The Shires ARMA Elegance 2.0 Saddlepad was designed to tackle that moisture head-on while keeping your horse comfortable and your tack perfectly in place. Whether you’re hitting the jump course or working on transitions in the arena, this pad offers the technical edge you need without sacrificing that classic, polished look.

Built for the long haul, this pad features a contoured shape that follows the natural line of your horse's back. It’s not just about aesthetics; it’s about preventing the friction and heat buildup that can lead to girth galls and sour attitudes. From our barn to yours, this is a piece of gear that works as hard as you do.

Why Riders Choose the ARMA Elegance 2.0

• Superior Moisture Management: The ULTRA DRI ZONE lining instantly wicks sweat away from the horse's skin, keeping them cool and reducing the risk of heat-related irritation.
• Reduced Friction and Rubbing: By managing moisture and providing a stable fit, this pad significantly lowers the chance of girth galls and sores during high-intensity work.
• Secure, Slip-Free Fit: Elasticated D-ring straps and a contoured spine ensure the pad stays tucked up into the gullet, preventing it from pulling down across the withers during jumps.
• Versatile Discipline Design: Specifically cut for General Purpose and Jump saddles, the forward-cut shape accommodates your saddle's flaps perfectly for a professional finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

For saddles 15" – 16.5", the Pony/Cob size is usually best. For standard adult saddles (17" – 18"), we recommend the Full size to ensure proper spine coverage and drop.

Yes! The ARMA Elegance 2.0 Saddlepad features an ULTRA DRI ZONE lining specifically designed to reduce friction and wick moisture, making it an excellent choice for horses prone to rubs.

Q: Can I use this pad with a half-pad?

Absolutely. Just be sure to check your spine length vs. the drop to ensure the ARMA pad provides enough coverage under your half-pad without sitting too short.
