Compared to a larger horses, Icelandic horses have special requirements. Their saddle, for example, is shorter, in order to lie comfortably on their somewhat shorter backs. Accordingly, saddle pads for Icelandic horses have to be cut differently to fit the shape and size of the saddle.
Icelandic saddle pads often reflect the country of origin in their colours: they are often seen in a combination of blue and red, or kept in understated colours.
In terms of functions and features, Icelandic saddle pads do not differ from other saddle pads and offer the same breathable fabrics and anti-slip properties.
