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.
