Product Information
Full details
The Waldhausen Classic Saddlepad in Grey is designed for horse owners seeking a comfortable and protective saddlecloth. Its key benefit lies in the well-distributed pressure and sweat absorption, ensuring rider and horse comfort during use. A minor consideration is the Velcro fastenings, which may require occasional cleaning to ensure a secure fit. This saddlecloth features original stitching, a sweat-absorbing lining, and 280 g/m2 padding with 10 mm foam for optimal support and pressure distribution. The girth guard is available in both simple and split variants.

Troubleshooting
Velcro fastenings are not holding securely.
Clean the Velcro thoroughly with a brush or specialized cleaner to remove any trapped dirt, hair, or debris. Ensure both sides of the Velcro are aligned correctly when fastening.
Saddlepad appears to be bunching or slipping.
Check that the saddle is correctly fitted to the horse and that the saddlepad is positioned evenly beneath it. Ensure the girth straps are properly secured. A poorly fitting saddle is the most common cause of slipping.
Lining feels damp or less absorbent after washing.
Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can clog the synthetic fibers and reduce absorbency. Ensure the saddlepad is fully dry before use.
Outer material appears worn after extended use.
While designed for durability, significant wear may occur with very heavy or prolonged use. Ensure regular cleaning and proper drying to maximize the lifespan of the materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The saddlepad is designed for immediate use. Ensure the saddle is correctly fitted to the horse before placing the saddlepad underneath. Secure the saddlepad to the saddle using the girth straps and the saddle flap, and then fasten the saddle as usual. The Velcro fastenings on the saddlepad should be securely attached to ensure it stays in place.
Compatibility: This saddlepad is designed to be compatible with most standard English saddles. The availability of a simple or split girth guard allows for adaptation to different girth styles. Always ensure the saddle and saddlepad combination fits the horse correctly, as improper fit can lead to discomfort or injury.
Care: To maintain the saddlepad's performance and appearance:
- Cleaning Fastenings: Regularly check the Velcro fastenings for trapped hair, dirt, or debris. Gently brush or use a specialized Velcro cleaner to remove any obstructions, ensuring a strong hold.
- Washing: The saddlepad can typically be machine washed at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can impede the lining's sweat-wicking properties.
- Drying: Air dry the saddlepad away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the padding and foam.
- Storage: Store the saddlepad flat or loosely rolled in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent mildew and maintain its shape.
