Product Information
Full details
The HKM Naples Dressage Saddle Cloth is designed for equestrians seeking a blend of aesthetic elegance and practical horse comfort. Ideal for daily schooling or formal training, this saddle pad utilizes specialized foam and wadding filling to provide essential cushioning and shock absorption. While it excels in comfort and stability, users should note that the specific dressage cut is tailored for specialized saddles, meaning it may not provide an optimal fit for general-purpose or jumping saddles.

FAQs
Is this pad suitable for jumping?
No, this pad is specifically cut for dressage saddles and will not fit the forward flap geometry of a jumping saddle.
Can I machine wash this saddle cloth?
Yes, it is machine washable, but we recommend using a gentle cycle and mild soap to protect the foam padding.
Does it come with D-ring straps?
The pad includes touch-close fastenings designed to secure the pad to the saddle, which typically attach to the D-rings or the girth billets.
Will the color fade?
While the materials are high-quality, we recommend air-drying away from direct sunlight to prevent premature fading of the fabric and decorative cord.
Is the padding thin or thick?
The padding is a medium-thickness combination of foam and wadding designed to provide comfort without compromising the close-contact feel of the saddle.
Troubleshooting
The saddle pad keeps slipping back.
Ensure the girth is threaded properly through both girth keepers and that the touch-close fastenings are secured tightly to the saddle billets.
Padding feels flat after heavy use.
Regularly brush the underside to remove sweat and debris that can compress the wadding; ensure the pad is completely dry before storage.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent cushioning provided by multi-layer foam and wadding
- Tailored dressage fit reduces bulk under the leg
- Secure positioning with girth and saddle flap keepers
- Attractive aesthetic with decorative cord detailing
Cons
- Not compatible with jumping or GP saddle profiles
- Requires careful washing to maintain padding structure
- Light colored options may show dirt quickly
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To setup, ensure the spine of the pad is pulled up into the gullet of the saddle to prevent pressure on the withers. Secure the touch-close fasteners around the saddle's D-rings or billets, and thread the girth through the reinforced keepers.
For care, it is recommended to brush off dried hair and dirt after each ride. When washing, use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and ensure the pad is air-dried in a shaded area to maintain the longevity of the wadding and the shape of the foam filling.
