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.
no but its better for your horse's back otherwise it could get little wounds and scratches.
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.
The saddle cloth is found in your howrses box and is automatically placed on that horse. Each howrse must fine its own saddle cloth.
If I am not mistaken, Gp stands for General purpose, which is a saddle cloth which you use everyday. Like if you are doing a spot of schooling or going for a hack. It wont be your best saddle cloth just a everyday saddle cloth. Hope this helps ~Laura~

This is what i do: #1- I take a cloth, wet it and take off all the loose dirt on the saddle. # 2- I take some Liquid Glycerine saddle soap (Leather new) and spray it on the saddle then scrub it into the saddle (Whatever you do, Don't let it run) #3- Once your finishes that clean the cloth in warm water then squeeze the water out and effortlessly wipe the surface of the saddle. #4- Use a different cloth and i either recommend Leather CPR Or Effax Leather balsam and scrub into the saddle. #5- Check your saddle for Non treated scuffs and scratches, if there is 1 you didn't do it properly.
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.
