Premium Western Saddle Pad – Hayward’s Blackhawk

TEQ Performance 3-Layer System

The Blackhawk collection by Hayward’s Wild & Free Wear combines modern western style, functionality, and materials designed for real horse comfort.

This saddle pad was not created to be just another stylish accessory. It was designed for riders who want a high-quality pad that lasts for years, stays beautiful, and provides maximum comfort for their horse during every ride.

Inside 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 built for everyday western riding.

Benefits:

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

Ideal for riders who want tack that still looks great 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 sweat and moisture
• supports temperature regulation
• comfortable even during long rides

Merino wool is especially appreciated by riders looking for natural materials and maximum comfort for their horse.

Why Blackhawk Is Not an Ordinary Saddle Pad

Because it combines:

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

This is not a saddle pad for one season.
It is designed for riders who truly care about their horse’s comfort and want equipment that still looks amazing after years of use.

Size

• 30×30" (approx. 76×76 cm)
