Australian Sheepskin Numnah Half Pad - with Shim System

At Delzani we have gone to great lengths to design a premium quality Australian sheepskin numnah – that won’t break the bank account!

These half-pad numnahs feature a corrective removable shim pad system so that you can adjust it perfectly to fit your saddle to your horse.  They are ideal for horses that are difficult to fit saddles, or if you have one saddle and multiple horses.

Our numnahs feature two front and two rear pockets, so you can add or remove shims as needed. We supply our numnahs with 4 x high-density memory foam shims, which we find much more versatile, shock-absorbing, and supportive than felt. (you can put extra shims if needed – see separate listing) 

These half pads can be used with Jumping, All Purpose, or Dressage Saddles and the spineless design creates an air channel, allowing a free flow of air between the horse's spine and saddle pad and assisting to remove pressure from your horse's wither and spine.

Delzani Numnahs with Shims feature:

• Genuine 100% Australian Sheepskin on the underside, offering high breathability and perspiration absorption, with a quilted cotton outer shell. 

• Our pads feature a layered approach, with Sheepskin, then a layer of 22mm high-density PU memory foam, then our outer quilted shell, which includes 4 x Velcro soft tab shim pockets

• 4 x high-density 10mm thick memory foam shim set. (extra sets available to purchase)

• Includes topside abrasion pads to reduce friction between your saddle and numnah

• Contoured shape to mirror your horse's spine and whither.

Numnah Sizing:

Full Size   =  58cm in total length^ 
Cob Size  =  54cm in total length^

^ Sizing taken along numnah spine, (front to rear) including sheepskin rolled edges.

Still unsure of which size you need?

We suggest measuring your saddle from front to back ( i.e. from pommel to cantle) and then referring to the sizes given above. Ideally, you want the numnah to be big enough that you have the rolled sheepskin on the front and trailing edge of the numnah extending past the pommel and cantle to your desired length (usually 5 to 6cm).

Please always remember that the use of a sheepskin or a correction pad has to be recommended by a professional saddle fitter after a proper horse evaluation and that the saddle tree size or gullet may need to be adjusted to suit your horse.
