FAQs
Is this pad suitable for daily training?
Yes, it is designed for durability and comfort, making it suitable for both daily training sessions and competition.
What size is the Cob model?
The Cob size is tailored to fit horses typically in the 14.2hh to 15.2hh range, or those with shorter backs.
Can I use this with a dressage saddle?
This pad is specifically engineered for close-contact saddles; it may not provide the correct coverage or shape for long-flap dressage saddles.
How do I prevent the velvet from fading?
Avoid prolonged direct sun exposure when the pad is not in use and wash using mild detergents designed for equestrian gear.
Does the 15mm foam interfere with saddle fit?
The foam is designed as a corrective, low-profile layer intended to improve shock absorption without significantly altering your existing saddle fit.
Troubleshooting
Pad sliding during intense movement
Ensure the girth loops are securely fastened and the pad is pulled well up into the saddle gullet.
Silicone panel losing grip
Clean the silicone panel gently with water and a soft cloth to remove hair and debris that may be obstructing the grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the pad, ensure the high-wither profile is pulled up into the gullet of the saddle to maintain spine clearance. Attach the D-ring straps securely to your saddle's D-rings, and thread the girth through the reinforced loops to prevent the pad from sliding backward.
For care, hand wash or use a gentle cycle with cold water to preserve the integrity of the anti-slip silicone panels. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach. Air dry the pad flat in a shaded area; do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the foam core and the velvet fabric.
