FAQs

What makes the bamboo lining beneficial?

The bamboo blend lining is naturally antibacterial, anti-static, breathable, and highly absorbent, helping to manage moisture and keep the horse comfortable while reducing the risk of skin irritation.

Can I use this pad with an all-purpose saddle?

This pad is specifically designed for dressage saddles. While it might fit an all-purpose saddle, its shape and high wither cut are optimized for the longer, straighter flaps of a dressage saddle.

How often should I wash the saddle pad?

It's recommended to wash the saddle pad as needed, typically after several uses, especially if the horse sweats heavily. Always follow the care instructions for machine washing at 30°C and air drying.

Does the suede-effect material require special cleaning?

The suede-effect upper is designed for everyday durability. Gentle brushing when dry can help maintain its appearance. Machine washing as per instructions is suitable, but avoid harsh detergents or tumble drying.

What is the purpose of the girth protection area?

The matte PU leather girth protection area is a reinforced section designed to protect the saddle pad from wear and tear caused by the girth, extending the lifespan of the pad.

How does the high wither cut benefit my horse?

The high wither cut is designed to provide ample clearance over the horse's withers, preventing pressure and discomfort, which is especially beneficial for horses with prominent or sensitive withers.

Can I match this pad with other LeMieux products?

Yes, the LeMieux Suede Dressage Square is often available in coordinated colours that can be matched with other LeMieux accessories like Classic Fly Hoods to create a complete look.

Troubleshooting

Pad slips during riding

Ensure girth keepers and D-ring tabs are correctly attached and that the girth is adequately tightened. Check that the saddle itself is properly fitted and balanced.

Excessive sweat under the pad

While the bamboo lining is highly breathable, ensure the pad is clean and free from debris that could impede airflow. Consider if environmental conditions are exceptionally demanding.

Suede-effect material looks matted

Gently brush the affected areas with a soft brush when the pad is dry to restore the nap and appearance.

Rub marks on the horse

Ensure the pad is correctly positioned with no folds or creases. Check the friction-free binding for any damage. Confirm the saddle fit is not causing pressure points that the pad cannot alleviate.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture management due to bamboo lining
  • Secure and stable fit on the horse
  • Durable construction for regular use
  • Smart aesthetic suitable for competitions and training
  • Designed for high wither comfort

Cons

  • Primarily designed for dressage saddles, less versatile for other disciplines
  • Suede-effect material may require specific care to maintain appearance
  • May not suit very low withered horses due to high wither cut

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The saddle pad is designed to be placed directly on the horse's back, under the dressage saddle. Utilize the elasticated D-ring tabs to attach to your saddle's D-rings, and pass the girth through the girth keepers or loops for a secure fit. Ensure the pad lies flat and smooth without bunching.

Compatibility: This pad is specifically designed for use with dressage saddles. Its shape and features are optimized for this type of saddle.

Care:

  1. Washing: Machine washable at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle. It is recommended to wash inside out.
  2. Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry. Avoid using strong detergents or fabric softeners.
  3. Maintenance: Brush the suede-effect material gently to maintain its finish. Ensure the pad is completely dry before use to prevent mildew.
