FAQs

What is the primary material of the Atlas Close Contact Dressage Saddle Pad?

The pad is constructed from durable bonded nylon fabric on the exterior and lined with absorbent bamboo for enhanced breathability and comfort.

Is this saddle pad suitable for all riding disciplines?

This pad is specifically designed as a close contact dressage saddle pad. While it may offer comfort for other disciplines, its shape is optimized for dressage saddles.

How should I clean the saddle pad?

The pad can be hand washed or machine washed on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 30°C with a mild detergent. It should be air dried and not tumble dried.

What does the 'high wither' design offer?

The high wither design provides extra clearance over the horse's wither, reducing pressure and preventing discomfort or chafing, especially for horses with prominent withers.

How do I ensure a secure fit?

The pad features adjustable Velcro D-loops and microfibre leather girth straps, allowing for a secure and customizable fit to prevent slipping.

Does the pad come with any storage solution?

Yes, the dressage pad is hand-packed in a free reusable zip storage bag to help keep your tack organized and for easy transport.

What is the purpose of the silicone PE badge?

The silicone PE badge is a premium detail that adds a touch of quality and brand recognition to the saddle pad.

Troubleshooting

Pad slipping during use

Ensure the Velcro D-loops and girth straps are securely fastened. Check that the saddle is fitted correctly and that there are no obstructions causing slippage.

Excessive moisture retention

While the bamboo lining is highly absorbent, ensure the pad is clean and free from dirt or debris that could impede breathability. Allow the pad to air dry thoroughly between uses.

Matte finish losing its sheen

Follow the recommended care instructions carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods. Air drying away from direct sunlight helps preserve the finish.
