Troubleshooting
Saddle pad slipping during ride
Ensure the touch-close keepers are tightly secured to the saddle D-rings and the pad is properly seated against the horse's back before mounting.
Fasteners no longer sticking
Check the touch-close surfaces for hair or debris buildup and clear them using a stiff brush to restore adhesion.
Pad appears wrinkled after washing
Reshape the saddle cloth while damp after removing it from the washing machine to ensure it maintains its anatomical form while drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, place the saddle cloth directly onto the horse's back, ensuring the anatomical curve aligns with the spine. Attach the touch-close keepers to the saddle D-rings to secure the fit. For care, machine wash the cloth at 30 degrees Celsius. Crucially, always ensure all touch-close fastenings are completely closed before putting the item into the machine to prevent them from snagging the fabric or causing premature wear on the closure strips. The item is safe for the dryer, though air drying is recommended to extend the longevity of the foam insert.
