Product Information

Full details

The KM Elite Half Lined GP Numnah is designed for equestrians seeking a professional, performance-oriented saddle pad for schooling, hunting, or competition. Its primary benefit lies in the combination of a spinefree design and natural sheepskin lining, which promotes optimal airflow and pressure relief for the horse's back; however, it requires diligent maintenance, specifically non-bio washing and air drying, to preserve the integrity of the natural materials.

FAQs

Can I use this numnah for jumping competitions?

Yes, its design is suitable for competition and provides the necessary comfort and professional look required.

What type of detergent should I use?

You must use a non-bio detergent specifically formulated for wool to prevent damage to the natural sheepskin.

Is this pad suitable for horses with sensitive skin?

The merino wool lining is naturally soft and breathable, making it an excellent choice for horses prone to skin irritation or rubbing.

Will this pad fit a dressage saddle?

This model is specifically designed for GP saddles. It may not provide the correct shape or coverage for a long-flapped dressage saddle.

How do I dry the numnah after washing?

Hang it to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Keep it away from tumble dryers and direct heat sources.

How often should I brush the sheepskin?

A light brushing after each ride or wash will help keep the wool fibers aligned and maintain the pad's cushioning properties.

Troubleshooting

Numnah sliding under the saddle

Check that the pad is correctly positioned during tacking up and ensure the saddle fit is appropriate for the horse.

Sheepskin becoming matted

Regularly groom the sheepskin with a specialized wool brush to keep the fibers separated and fluffy.

Build-up of sweat and dirt

Allow the numnah to air dry completely after every ride, then brush away debris once dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best results, ensure the numnah is positioned centrally under your GP saddle. Always check that the spine channel remains lifted off the horse’s vertebrae before tightening the girth. To maintain the life of the product, regularly remove loose hair and dirt using a stiff, soft-bristled brush. When washing, use a dedicated wool cycle at 30°C and strictly use a non-bio detergent to avoid damaging the sheepskin fibers. Never use a tumble dryer; always air dry the item in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources such as radiators or direct sunlight to prevent the leather from hardening.
