Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The saddle comes as a complete set and requires basic assembly and fitting to your horse. Ensure the cinch is properly secured, and the stirrup length is adjusted for your comfort and riding style.
Compatibility:
- Horse Size: The 7.5" (19.1 cm) gullet is designed for horses with an average to wide wither. It is crucial to ensure this gullet size fits your horse comfortably to prevent discomfort or injury.
- Rider Size: The 16" (40.6 cm) seat is suitable for most adult riders. Adjust stirrups accordingly.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the genuine and artificial leather with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
- Conditioning: Use a leather conditioner specifically designed for both genuine and artificial leather periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Always test conditioner on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store the saddle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent damage and fading. Using a saddle rack is recommended.
- Reinforcement Checks: Regularly inspect the reinforced pressure points and stitching for any signs of wear or damage.
