Worn and unsafe saddle pads are saddle pads that arent in good nick. They have tears and they have dry sweat etc. on them. Normally you would buy a new saddle blanket you should get one every 2yrsas that is the maximum age expandenty of them. Go to your local saddler and ask for a new saddle blanket and hopefully you will find one. Make sure if your horse sweats alot and you buy a sheepskin underbottom it will dry so avoid them...............

BRAKES squeek when the pads are worn down to the point where they are unsafe and need replacing.
yes saddle pads eventually wear out as would clothes. it depends on what type saddle pad you would get that determines how fast it would wear out
The saddle pad actually predates the saddle itself. There is no exact year, but when horses were first ridden people used cloth as a barrier between them and the horses back. These were the first saddle pads, and the precursor to the saddle.
One is round, and one is square.
Western saddle pads may be purchased at stores that deal in equestrian supplies. These stores would include places like Chick's, Western Saddle Pads, and Tack Wholesale. These places all offer the convenience of on-line shopping.
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.
Once can purchase saddle pads from a variety of different places. These include equestrian stores and other horse riding specialists, as well as online on sites such as Amazon.
Yes, a horse does need a saddle pad to protect it's back and make the saddle feel snug on the horse.
Check your car handbook about the brake lights which should light up on the dashboard if the brake pads are worn. If the brakes are noisy and screeching it may suggest worn out pads. You will have to jack up the car and take the wheels off to inspect the brake pads to see if they are worn out.
