Troubleshooting

Check that the touch-close keepers are securely fastened to the saddle's D-rings or girth straps.
Padding feels compressed after many uses
Ensure the pad is fluffed after washing and air dried thoroughly; avoid heavy spinning in the washing machine.
Visible dirt or sweat stains
Pre-treat the affected area with a gentle stain remover before performing a standard 30-degree machine wash.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the saddle cloth, center it carefully over the horse's back, ensuring the wither clearance is adequate before placing the saddle on top. Secure the touch-close keepers to the girth straps or D-rings of your saddle to guarantee a stable fit. For maintenance, machine wash the cloth at 30 degrees using a mild, horse-safe detergent. Avoid using harsh bleach or fabric softeners, as these can break down the polyester fibers and reduce the efficacy of the padding. Always air dry the pad completely before placing it back on your horse to prevent moisture buildup.
