FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Self-Cool lining?

The Self-Cool lining wicks away heat and sweat. Its moisture-activated fibers become more effective at cooling as your horse's temperature rises during exercise.

How does the high wither design help my horse?

The high wither design improves saddle fit by creating more clearance over the horse's wither, reducing pressure and preventing discomfort or injury.

Can I use this saddle pad for general schooling or only for competition?

While it offers excellent performance, its sparkle finish and advanced cooling features are optimized for competition. It can be used for schooling, but its premium aspects are best preserved for show days.

How should I wash the LeMieux Brilliance Dressage Square to preserve the sparkle?

Machine wash inside out at 30 degrees, close all fastenings, and air dry away from heat. Avoid tumble drying or bleach.

What makes the elastic saddle straps unique?

The elastic saddle straps are slimmed at the D-ring connection point, allowing for a more flexible and secure fit while also providing space to accommodate additional training accessories if needed.

Is the faux leather girth protection durable?

Yes, the embossed faux leather girth protection is designed for durability to withstand friction and wear in the girth area, extending the life of the saddle pad.

Will the binding cause rubbing?

No, the saddle pad features carefully researched, soft, friction-free binding that smoothly contours the edges. This design helps maintain the pad's optimal shape and prevents rubbing, enhancing comfort.

Troubleshooting

Pad slipping during use

Ensure saddle and girth are correctly fitted and tightened. Check that the saddle straps are securely fastened to the D-rings. Clean the horse's back and the underside of the pad to remove any grease or sweat that could cause slippage.

Sparkle embellishments losing shine

Wash the pad inside out on a gentle cycle (30 degrees) and air dry. Avoid harsh detergents and direct heat, which can damage the embellishments.

Horse appears uncomfortable or shows signs of heat

Confirm the pad is correctly positioned and not bunched. Ensure the Self-Cool lining is functioning by checking for moisture wicking. Consider if the ambient temperature or horse's exertion level is exceptionally high, even with the cooling features.
