Premium Western Saddle Pad – Hayward’s Arizona Sunset

TEQ Performance 3-Layer System

The Arizona Sunset collection by Hayward’s Wild & Free Wear combines authentic western style, modern materials, and real comfort for your horse.

This saddle pad was not created to be just another beautiful accessory. It was designed for riders who want a functional pad that will last for years while providing maximum comfort for the horse’s back.

Inside the pad is our exclusive TEQ Performance 3-Layer System, combining durability, shock absorption, and the natural comfort of merino wool.

TEQ Performance 3-Layer System

1. Ballistic Nylon / Cordura® – 0.5 mm

An extremely durable outer layer designed for everyday western riding.

Benefits:

• highly abrasion resistant
• water-resistant surface
• easy to clean – simply wipe with a cloth
• maintains its color and appearance for years
• perfect for modern printed designs
• protects the inner layers of the pad

This material is especially popular among riders who want tack that continues to look great even after years of use.

2. Felt Core – 16 mm

The thick felt core creates the main shock-absorbing layer of the saddle pad.

Benefits:

• excellent shock absorption
• even pressure distribution under the saddle
• helps stabilize the saddle
• maintains shape during regular use
• lightweight construction compared to traditional heavy pads
• breathable material

The result is greater comfort for the horse and reduced pressure on the back during work.

3. Merino Wool Felt – 3 mm

The bottom merino wool layer sits directly against the horse’s back.

Merino wool benefits:

• natural material
• premium comfort for the horse
• highly breathable
• helps wick away moisture and sweat
• supports temperature regulation
• comfortable even during long rides

Merino wool is especially valued by riders looking for natural materials in direct contact with the horse.

Why Arizona Sunset Is Not an Ordinary Saddle Pad

Because it combines:

• modern durable materials
• functional shock absorption
• natural merino wool comfort
• lightweight construction
• long-lasting durability
• unique western-inspired design

This is not a saddle pad for one season.
It is designed for riders who want high-quality equipment for everyday riding while still looking beautiful after years of use.

Size

• 30×30" (approx. 76×76 cm)
• suitable for most western saddles
• also fits shorter-backed horses very well
