Product Information
Full details
The Shires ARMA Hyde Park Saddlecloth is an ideal choice for riders seeking a blend of high-performance moisture management and refined style for daily schooling or light competition. Engineered with an Ultra Dri Zone lining, it effectively wicks sweat away from the horse to prevent discomfort and rubbing during intensive sessions. While it provides excellent padding at key pressure points, users should note that the specialized paisley aesthetic and specific shape are tailored primarily for standard English saddles and may not fit extreme jumping or deep-seated dressage blocks perfectly.

FAQs
Is this saddlecloth suitable for competition?
Yes, its polished appearance and professional features make it suitable for both daily training and club-level competition.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
No, it is recommended to air dry to prevent damage to the padding and the metal branding.
Will the Navy Paisley pattern fade?
The fabric is designed for durability; however, washing inside out in a protective laundry bag can help preserve the color vibrancy.
What type of saddle does this fit best?
It is designed to fit standard General Purpose and Close Contact English saddles.
How do I protect the metal ARMA badge during washing?
We recommend placing the saddlecloth inside a large wash bag or pillowcase to prevent the metal badge from catching or scratching other items.
Troubleshooting
Saddlecloth slips during riding
Ensure the touch-close retaining straps are securely fastened to the D-rings and the girth is threaded through both girth loops.
Fabric appears dull after washing
Use a small amount of fabric conditioner and ensure it is fully rinsed to prevent residue buildup.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent moisture-wicking properties reduce the risk of sweat-related rubbing
- Generous padding enhances overall equine comfort
- Secure strap system prevents the saddlecloth from slipping back
- Stylish design with high-quality metal branding and embroidery
- Durable enough for regular machine washing
Cons
- May not suit all specialized saddle flap shapes
- Limited to specific color palettes like the Navy Paisley
- Requires specific care to maintain the metal badge integrity
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the saddlecloth is pulled up into the gullet of the saddle before tightening the girth; this prevents pressure on the horse's spine. Use the touch-close straps to secure the cloth to the saddle's D-rings, ensuring the cloth sits flat against the horse's back without wrinkles.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C.
- Use a non-biological detergent to maintain fabric integrity.
- Allow to air dry naturally; avoid tumble drying to protect the shape and metal components.
- Ensure the girth guards are kept clean of grit to prolong the life of the material.
