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.

It's even recommended that you fit a new saddle without anything under it first to see if it fits the horse properly.

The biggest problems are sores from the saddle rubbing on bare skin and hair, and the saddle itself becoming damaged from the horses sweat.

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").

These come in memory foam, sheepskin, or various synthetics.
