A numnah, or saddle pad. The saddle pad is a square, and the numnah is the shape of the saddle, generally. In North America, usually you will only hear the term saddle pad. Comes in all shapes (for some dressage saddles, "swallowtail", square, fitted) and thicknesses (a "baby" pad is a thinner variety"). Also, many English riders use half pads that are half the size of a saddle pad and are meant to fit under the saddle but on top of the saddle pad (some people use them alone). These come in memory foam, sheepskin, or various synthetics.

For a western saddle most pads will be about the same size unless it's for a pony saddle, which will be much smaller. English saddle pads can vary significantly. Since there are different types of English saddles the pads will correspond with their individual shapes. A dressage saddle will have a dressage pad, likewise hunt seat, saddle seat (with a 3 or 4 inch cutback). Whatever the size or shape, make sure that the pad is thick enough that it protects your horse's back and that it fits right so it won't slip or rub.

How do you saddle up a horse if you are riding western?
Before any tack can go on the horse he must be groomed to remove any dirt and debris from his coat. Once his coat and feet are clean you can saddle him. Standing on his left side place a clean saddle pad on the withers, the front of the pad should line up with the top of the withers just before the neck. Slide the pad back toward to back, the front of the pad should be by the back part of the withers. Make sure you don't push the pad too far back (behind the withers). With the pad in place take the saddle and gently place it on the pad, making sure there is about an inch of pad beyond the front of the saddle and a couple of inches in the back. Make sure to put your fingers under the front part of the pad by the withers, lifting the pad a little to let air circulate to the back. Tighten the girth slowly. After about 5 minutes of riding be sure to check the girth again.
