FAQs
Can I use this numnah for competitive events?
Yes, the professional silhouette and ergonomic design make it suitable for both daily training and competition.
Will this numnah fit a high-withered horse?
Yes, the high-wither profile is specifically shaped to accommodate various horse shapes while preventing sliding.
Is the wool real or synthetic?
The product features high-quality natural Merino lambswool.
How often should I wash the numnah?
Wash only when necessary, typically when the wool is visibly soiled or matted, using a gentle wool cycle.
Why is the spine area left free of padding?
The spinefree design is intended to improve airflow and remove direct pressure from the horse's vertebrae, preventing rubs.
Can I put the numnah in the tumble dryer?
No, never tumble dry. Direct heat will damage the sheepskin and cause it to shrink.
Troubleshooting
Wool fibers appearing matted or flattened
Regularly brush the wool with a stiff brush when dry to restore loft and remove trapped dirt.
Color transfer on grey or light-colored horses
The black dye can react with sweat; if your horse has a light coat, consider using a thin white cotton square underneath the numnah.
Stiffening of the leather/skin after washing
Ensure you are using a wool-specific non-bio detergent and allow the item to dry slowly away from heat to maintain flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the numnah for use, ensure your saddle is clean and the pad is centered on the horse's back, pulling the spine portion up into the gullet of the saddle to maximize airflow. It is compatible with most GP (General Purpose) saddles.
Care Instructions:
- Daily Maintenance: Remove hair and dried dirt after every ride using a stiff grooming brush to keep the fibers fluffy and clean.
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C using a dedicated wool cycle or hand wash if preferred.
- Detergents: Only use non-bio detergents specifically formulated for wool to prevent damaging the natural fibers.
- Drying: Air dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated area. Do not place near direct heat sources or in a tumble dryer, as this will shrink or harden the sheepskin.
