A saddle pad is described for placement on a horse or other riding animal's back. The saddle pad can include a pad and an outer cover into which the pad is inserted. The saddle pad is placed directly on the back of the animal and a saddle is placed on top of and over the saddle pad. The pad can be constructed from one, two, or more pieces of material and includes one or more cushioning elements. One of the cushioning elements can be located along a central longitudinal axis of the pad. The cushioning elements of the pad can be constructed from walls, baffles, or bladders, which may be filled with a gas, a liquid, or a gel material to increase stability of the saddle pad and to provide additional cushioning between the saddle and the animal's back as well as between the rider and the saddle.
