Serge Panels – the benefits

Why not try a serge panel instead of leather? Serge panels are the traditional way of paneling saddles if you take a look at the old side saddles they will have serge with a linen lining.

Serge is natural and made of wool, wool is the best material to absorb moisture and then disperse this naturally over a period of time.  Not only will it make your saddle lighter in weight, but as with any wool flocked saddle in the initial miles of riding the panel forms the shape of the horses back and settles down, the process is the same whether leather or serge, although serge being a little softer the process can be faster.

It helps to eliminate slipping and as it is extremely soft and kind to their backs it can also be suitable for cold backed horses.

Serge is very popular in hot conditions as the rate of heat absorption is faster than leather, keeping the back cooler as featured on the Equinox Endurance.

Can be used with or without a saddle cloth.

The material requires no conditioning or treatment and is best cleaned with a soft suede brush and a damp cloth. As with leather allow to dry naturally if it does get wet.

Available at no extra charge on any model.
