Description

No more slipping with Secure saddle pads

Ecogold’s Secure XC saddle pad is the most comfortable non-slip XC pad available. Engineered to keep your horse’s back comfortable while keeping the saddle in place for a safe, competitive ride.

Improve your connection with your horse with ECOGOLD’s Secure XC saddle pad

The ergonomic shape of the ultra-thin flaps provides the rider with a more stable riding position. A more secure position means they are able to communicate more effectively with the horse.

Quick-Dry Performance

Built in a honeycomb structure, which keeps the majority of the fabric off the skin, Ecogold’s high-tech fabric is engineered to provide airflow and faster moisture evaporation. Our goal is to keep the horse as dry as possible, as quickly as possible.

Non-Slip Security

Breathable and hypoallergenic, our non-slip material is neoprene-free. It’s strong enough to stay in place yet soft on the skin. It keeps the horse’s back comfortable while securing the saddle for a safe, competitive ride.

A Performance Saddle Pad for Every Horse and Rider

The saddle pad you choose is just as important as your actual saddle. It’s part of that key connection between you and your horse. It’s an investment in the quality of your ride. Our innovative saddle pads are designed and made in Montreal with ethical manufacturing to improve your horse’s comfort and performance.

    I am so happy with my new eco gold pad, it truly doesn’t slip or scrunch up when I’m riding. The standard size fit great with my saddle and I am overall very happy with my purchase.

  2. Katerina P

    I’ve been using the triple protection half pad for years (nearly every ride!) but recently purchased a secure pad for schooling – using them in combo = PERFECT! They wash easily, look great, and really stay in place. Will definitely be buying more! Standard size fits a 17.5″ saddle nicely.

  3. Katie

    My saddle started slipping to one side so I used this secure xc saddle pad to see if it would help and it totally did! My saddle hardly slips now and I don’t want to go back to any other saddle pad!

  4. Jennifer (verified owner)

    This pad is my go to for XC! It has NEVER slipped back even an inch & stays exactly in place keeping my saddle secure. I love the variety of colors & was able to get my school’s team colors so I could represent them well at Intercollegiate Team Challenges! I always get compliments on how well my XC outfit matches.

  5. Morgan (verified owner)

    EcoGold pads are hands down my favorite pad to use and well worth the investment. I have tried several other brands and found that they would either shift, bunch or would leave my horse drenched in sweat. Since switching to the secure XC pad, we no longer have those issues! I ordered the long version for my 18inch saddle and it fits perfectly, I also opted to add flags to it for a little extra flair and they came out beautifully. After one season, it still looks brand new. I love this brand so much that I ended up purchasing the dressage version.

    This saddle pad truly is the ultimate cross country pad! The air flow fabric keeps my horse nice and cool, he hardly ever has sweat stains under this pad. To make it even better this is the only saddle pad I’ve ever used that gives my saddle a perfect fit without a half pad! The amazing non-slip surface keeps my saddle in place without any slippage, this being very important during the cross country phase as there would be no time to readjust. One of the things I was most pleased with upon ordering was the wide variety of colors that were available, ensuring every cross country color is accommodated for. My saddle pads arrived quickly and I couldn’t be any happier with my purchase!

  7. Maddy (verified owner)

    We LOVE our ecogold XC saddle pad, I don’t know who likes it better the rider or the horse!

  8. Barrett P.

    This pad has lasted so long and held up in every condition. I can’t say enough good things about this pad specifically. Ecogold is the only pad my horse will ever show in!

  9. Shannon Bryk (verified owner)

    This is my go to pad for cross country! The quality and price cannot be beat. However the opportunity to support a family run business is the real reason that ecogold will continue to get my business.

  10. Meg (verified owner)

    These are my go to for all events! I have a matching dressage and show jump pad too, and the material is SO easy to keep clean. They’re the only thing I have found to keep my tack securely in place during inclement weather, water jumps, and hot sweaty horses.

  11. Anna

    I wont go cross country without these pads now! My horses back never heat up now and there is minimal sweat compared to the standard cotton or synthetic pads. These are a game changer for going cross country.

  12. Vita (verified owner)

    I love my eco gold secure, it’s so stylish and versatile. it fits perfectly under my saddle and doesn’t move an inch even without a breast plate and after a large cross country school or a cancer up a big hill.
    Another thing I love about this pad is that my horse is always dry underneath, it has such good ventilation but still has the right amount of padding to keep my horse as comfortable as possible. They are worth every penny.

  13. Lynn Keller

    Love my secure cross country saddle pad, my horse doesn’t overheat and it fits great

  14. Deirdre Foreman

    The only pad that actually matches the claim that it doesn’t slip! No more hopping off to adjust a pad. They wear like iron and always wash up like new. I can’t use anything else since I started using the secure pads.

  15. Bennett Adkins

    This is worth the investment! As an eventer, the last thing you want is any of your tack to hinder your performance, especially out on the cross country course. This saddle pad given me piece of mind that it will not let me down and keep up with me throughout a vigorous XC course! That piece of mind alone pays for itself.

  16. Julia

    I’m pretty sure there is some kind of magic in this pad. For one, my white pad stays white, my saddle does not budge when I have this pad on, even when I forget to tighten the girth. I also use it as a bareback pad and it does not move. I have converted many of my friends over to the ecogold side bc of how awesome it is!!!

  17. Micki McDaniel

    I love my ecogold secure xc pad! It keeps my saddle I. Place and my horse comfortable, and the pink color is perfect and has not faded. Highly recommend!

  18. Rose

    Absolutely the best saddle pad out there. Supper high quality. 10/10. I don’t go cross country in anything else.

  19. Lynn Welles (verified owner)

    My mare has some sort of magic that renders her coat as slick as ice. NO pad stays put. They literally slide out behind and I can’t use a pad if it doesn’t have girth loops. Great for grooming – not so great for keeping a saddle pad in place. This pad has NEVER moved! Not to mention that it looks amazing and makes me feel professional : D

  20. Megan

    I’ve wanted to try this saddle pad for ages and now I’ve got one I will never buy anything else. Doesn’t slip an inch and fits perfectly under my saddle

  21. Amelia

    This is my absolute favorite saddle pad. It fits my monoflap event saddle amazingly, is super breathable, high quality and looks amazing for showing and schooling.

  22. Jenni

    I got one of these as a deal because someone had American flag patches sewn on each side and then it didn’t fit their saddle. It fit mine just fine, my only suggestion is that if your XC saddle is on the larger side or has long flaps, check the fit of the keepers, they are a bit high. I have a 17″ monoflap saddle and my billets just barely fit the keeper so anyone with a longer flapped monoflap may have fit issues.

  23. Eileen Newman (verified owner)

    I started using Ecogold approximately 7 years ago, I needed a non slip pad. I tried gel pads and another specific brand all to no avail. I’m not sure where I heard of Ecogold back then as I live in Ireland, I took a chance & ordered, they are amazing! I also tried the cool fit & I have the flip but my favourite is the xcountry secure either with or without the flip pad. I have recently bought another one which I was putting off for so long because of the cost & basically needs! I received an email wed night to say my order was complete and Dhl delivered it this morning Friday !!!! When I see the new one I realise my older one which is years old definitely needed to be replaced but was still effective. Super quick to wash& dry. Thank you so much for such quality & effective products.

  24. Kendall

    This is the only pad I will ride cross country in. I never have to worry about my saddle slipping, which is very important when you’re galloping at high speeds catapulting your self over large solid fences! I’ve had my ecogold xc pad at least 10 years and it still looks as good as new! Best saddle pads ever!

  25. Alessa K.

    Amazing saddle pad!! I chose the white color and it looks so neat and professional. I can’t wait to go eventing with this pad! It’s very grippy and has not gotten sweaty in 70 degree weather. Would recommend as it is hand made from a small business and will definitely last for a long time.

  26. Kaela

    Not only does this pad meet the style, color, and fit standards. But I have found that my horse sweats profusely less. This pad has never slipped under my saddle even without D straps and even after a tough 5 minute + xc course or hour xc schooling my mare hardly shows sweat under it. It has never rubbed my mare and the extra padding at the top isn’t so thick it changes saddle fit but just thick enough to provide a little more back support and work the same with a half pad on top. I will always be open to the offer of buying this product again and I’m always recommending it. It’s also extremely easy to wash and cleans up lovely

  27. Brooke Krueger (verified owner)

    Best saddle pad I’ve ever owned, non of the others even come close. Extremely lightweight for the summer months with amazing breathable technology. Never had it slip back even an inch. The foam in the half pad area adds that little bit of comfort that’s really nice for my sensitive ottb. Definitely worth their price.

  28. Aline

    This pad is lightweight, breathable, and comfortable! It’s everything you would want in a cross country pad, I love mine.

  29. Lauren D.

    I’d have all Ecogold saddle pads if I could! I’ve had my Secure XC pad for almost 6 years through multiple XC schools and shows and it still looks new. My horse is a heavy sweater and has a high wither, but this pad never budges and keeps him cooler. It doesn’t slip down or back, and has held up great. Plus in pink it pops on XC and matches my gear

  30. May Potter

    I utterly adore my ecogold secure XC pads – bought my first 3 years ago and have been back for several more since then! Literally can’t tell the difference between my oldest and most recent ones as they are such a high quality product and have all held up so well despite being pretty thrashed over the years! The non slip is second to none, when going XC you really do not want your saddle moving and it has never so much as budged with these pads on! My personal favourite thing is how light and cool they are for my horses to wear on XC. I got so sick of having my saddle pads drenched with sweat during every schooling session but my horses barely sweat under their ecogolds and they wick away the sweat and dry so quickly! I was also super nervous about buying white ones as although I think it looks super classy, I was dreading the stains but they are hands down the easiest pads to clean out of any that I have and they come up beautifully every time I wash them which I find rather impressive!! Thank you ecogold, massive fan over here and I know I will be back for more in the future!
