The SP Rhodes SunGuard™ Sunbrella® Saddle Pad Collection represents a new standard in equestrian product performance. Designed for riders who demand exceptional comfort, durability, and timeless style for their horse, each saddle pad combines advanced technical materials with refined craftsmanship to deliver outstanding durability in both training and competition.

Engineered with an anatomically contoured profile, these custom saddle pads follow the natural shape of the horse’s back to provide a secure, balanced fit, while reducing pressure over the withers. The friction-reducing, non-slip euro suede underside helps maintain saddle stability without restricting movement, allowing horse and rider to perform comfortably throughout every ride.

What truly distinguishes this collection from alternatives is its use of genuine Sunbrella® Marine Fabric for the trim and piping. Originally developed for the marine industry, Sunbrella® is recognized worldwide for its exceptional resistance to UV exposure, fading, moisture, mildew, and everyday wear. These same qualities make it an outstanding choice for the trim and piping on your saddle pads. The color on these pads resists fading from intense sunlight, sweat, frequent washing, and harsh environments.

Your saddle pads can be matched to your horse show displays; using the same Sunbrella™ fabric for the trim and piping. 

The antibacterial technical lining helps create a healthier environment beneath the saddle, while the moisture-wicking construction rapidly disperses heat and perspiration away from the horse. Specifically engineered for warm climates and high-humidity environments, our saddle pads dry quickly between rides, making them ideal for busy training schedules, horse shows, and multiple horses throughout the day.

Complete the look with premium embroidery featuring your farm logo, rider name, horse name, sponsor branding, or monogram to create a truly personalized piece of equestrian equipment.

The SP Rhodes SunGuard™ Sunbrella® Saddle Pad is built for riders who expect uncompromising quality, lasting performance, and timeless equestrian style.

Our saddle pads are anatomically contoured to provide generous coverage while maintaining a close, secure fit beneath the saddle. The recommended saddle sizes above serve as a guide only, as flap length and panel design can vary between manufacturers.

For the best fit, choose a saddle pad that provides approximately 1½–2 inches (4–5 cm) of visible clearance around the front and rear edges of your saddle.

Saddle Size Fit
15.5″ Slightly large (still usable)
16″ Excellent
16.5″ Excellent
17″ Excellent
17.5″ Excellent
18″ Excellent
18.5″ Acceptable on many models, depending on flap length
19″ May be too small for some saddles

THE SP RHODES MATERIAL STANDARD
No Nylon • No Cotton/Polyester

No shortcuts where they matter. We build our premium horse show accessories around materials selected for demanding outdoor use — from the primary fabric to the thread, trim, and finishing details.

Built for the Horse Show Environment

The product is only as good as what holds it together.

Horse show decor lives outdoors. It is exposed to sun, humidity, dust, rain, repeated handling, transportation, storage, and an entire season of setup and teardown.

That is why SP Rhodes builds our premium horse show accessories using Marine Sunbrella® fabric and Sunbrella® thread wherever the construction allows.

The Material Behind the Product

Made with genuine Sunbrella® performance fabric and Sunbrella® thread for exceptional outdoor durability, color retention, and long-term performance.

01 / OUR STANDARD

Marine Sunbrella®

Built for outdoor environments where appearance and performance both matter.

  • UV-resistant color. Solution-dyed performance fibers are designed to hold their color through extended exposure to sunlight.
  • Made for outdoor use. Marine-grade Sunbrella® is engineered for demanding environments, not simply decorative indoor applications.
  • Water and moisture resistance. A practical advantage in humid barns, outdoor showgrounds, sudden weather changes, and repeated transport.
  • Stain resistance. Horse show decor needs to withstand dust, dirt, hands, tack rooms, and everyday stable life.
  • Consistent appearance. Premium performance fabric helps the finished product continue to look polished through repeated use.
02 / THE DETAIL THAT MATTERS

Sunbrella® Thread

Premium outdoor fabric should not be sewn together with thread that becomes the weakest point of the product.

  • Designed for exterior exposure. Outdoor-rated thread is better suited to repeated exposure to sunlight and changing weather conditions.
  • Helps maintain seam integrity. Strong fabric means little if the stitching begins to deteriorate first.
  • Better long-term color performance. Thread that fades faster than the surrounding fabric can quickly make an otherwise premium product look old.
  • Built as a complete system. We consider fabric, thread, trim, piping, embroidery, and finishing as part of the same product — not separate components.
Where Lower-Cost Construction Falls Short

Not all equestrian products are built for more than one season.

Substituting standard nylon borders or cotton/polyester piping may reduce the initial manufacturing cost, but those materials are not necessarily engineered to perform in harsh outdoor environments. Sun and moisture are the two factors that influence how long a product will last - we use fabrics manufactured to solve these problems.

01

Uneven UV Performance

Products made with Sunbrella as the main fabric and nylon trim and cotton/polyester piping means the borders, piping, or thread can age differently — compromising the appearance of the entire piece.

02

Moisture Absorption

Cotton-containing components can absorb and retain moisture, increasing mildew and drying time. Thse products are less resilent to wear in unpredictable horse show environments.

03

Premature Deterioration

A product can only perform as well as its weakest component. Borders, piping, or stitching that deteriorate before the primary fabric can shorten the useful life of the entire piece.

04

Color Mismatch Over Time

Different fibers respond differently to sunlight, cleaning, moisture, and repeated use. The result can be a body fabric that still looks beautiful beside trim or piping that does not.

05

Loss of Structure

Piping and border materials help define the finished shape. Materials not selected for demanding outdoor applications may soften, stretch, shrink, or otherwise age differently.

06

A False Economy

Saving on trim, piping, or thread at production can become expensive when an otherwise serviceable stall guard, banner, pillow, or drape requires premature repair or replacement.

THE SP RHODES STANDARD
We do not start with premium outdoor fabric and then compromise the product with components chosen simply because they cost less.

Our objective is to build horse show products that continue to look professional through repeated use, transportation, cleaning, sun exposure, and changing weather. That means considering every material that goes into the finished product — including the parts most customers never think to ask about.
