A numnah is a special type of saddle cloth. It is the same shape as the saddle, usually padded heavily around the edges and very thick. It is often made of wool or a similar material and is very thick and absorbent. It makes good cushioning for a saddle. They are often used under Australian pleasure or work saddles, which are a cross between the deep seat of a Western saddle and lightness and more fitted shape of an English saddle.

What will happen if you put a saddle on with out puting on a saddle cloth or numnah?
It could hurt the horse and give them sores and pinch nerves! A saddle should be able to fit correctly without a pad or numnah under it. It's even recommended that you fit a new saddle without anything under it first to see if it fits the horse properly. A saddle cloth, pad, blanket, or numnah is designed to wick the moisture from the horses back and to provide a little bit of cushion. Some pads have a therapeutic benefit such as wither relief or to lift the saddle. The biggest problems are sores from the saddle rubbing on bare skin and hair, and the saddle itself becoming damaged from the horses sweat.

What are saddle pads called?
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.
