ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION A lightweight and form-fitting knee pad for protection of the inner portion of the knee joints of the front legs of a harness racing horse is provided. An upper strap portion fits around the upper inwardly converging portion of the horse's knee joint while a downwardly extending portion fits over the horse's inner knee joints and slightly to the back thereof. A cutout in the front portion of the knee pad provides for clearance around the horse's knee cap. An elastic strap attached to the bottom of the knee pad allows for securement of the lower part of the knee pad to the horse's leg by allowing the strap to extend around on the outside and to the back and upper portion of the knee pad. The inventive knee pad thereby provides for complete protection of the inner portion of the horse's knee joint while reducing the overall size of the pad, minimizes the strike area, and allowing for the relative motion between the horse's legs and the form-fitting knee pad when the horse is bending its legs during running. 14
