FAQs

How do I best utilize the included foam shims?

The 5mm foam shims can be inserted into the pockets on the underside of the pad. You can use them individually or in combination (e.g., front and back) to adjust the saddle's balance and provide targeted support. Experiment to find the most comfortable and stable position for your horse.

Can this saddle pad be used with an all-purpose saddle?

While designed as a dressage square, its shape and support features might be adaptable for some all-purpose saddles with a deeper seat. However, it is optimized for the flatter profile of a dressage saddle.

How often should I wash the saddle pad?

It is recommended to wash the saddle pad after every few uses, or as needed, to maintain hygiene and the effectiveness of the bamboo lining. Follow the care instructions carefully to preserve the material.

What does 'non-static stability' mean in relation to the bamboo lining?

The bamboo blend helps to reduce static electricity, which can be uncomfortable for horses and attract dust. This contributes to a smoother, more stable feel against the horse's coat.

Is the white color difficult to keep clean?

The white color may show dirt more readily than darker colors. Regular washing according to the care instructions will help maintain its appearance. Using a saddle pad cover can also help protect it.

What is the benefit of the X Grip silicone prints?

The X Grip silicone prints are designed to provide superior friction against the saddle, significantly reducing the chance of the pad and saddle slipping during exercise, leading to a more secure and confident ride.

Can I use this pad with a high-withered horse?

The high-density foam inserts are designed to reduce pressure points, which can be beneficial for horses with prominent withers. The shim system also allows for fine-tuning to accommodate specific conformations.

Troubleshooting

Saddle still slipping after placement

Ensure the X Grip silicone is clean and free from debris. Check that the shims are correctly inserted and providing even support. Verify the saddle itself is correctly fitted.

Horse appears uncomfortable or sensitive

Review the shim placement. Incorrect or excessive shimming can cause pressure. Try removing shims or adjusting their position. Ensure the saddle is not bridging.

Bamboo lining not feeling cool or wicking effectively

Ensure the pad is clean and free from build-up that could impede breathability. Check for adequate ventilation around the saddle area. Prolonged use without cleaning can reduce effectiveness.

Pros and Cons

  • Reduces pressure points on the horse's back due to high-density foam.
  • Promotes a cooler, more comfortable ride with bamboo lining.
  • Offers customizable fit options with included shims.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Inspect the ProSorb Dressage Square for any damage.
  2. Determine if shim insertion is needed. The pad comes with two sets of 5mm foam shims. Insert these into the designated pockets on the underside of the pad if you require additional support or a more customized fit. Experiment with different combinations (front, back, or both) to find the optimal balance for your horse.
  3. Place the saddle pad on the horse's back, ensuring the girth strap loops are aligned.
  4. Secure the saddle and girth as usual, utilizing the inner girth strap loops for added stability.

Compatibility:

This dressage square is designed for use with most dressage saddles. Its design aims to accommodate a wide range of horse shapes and saddle fitting requirements. Compatibility with specific saddle models should be assessed based on the saddle's tree and panel design.

Care:

  • Machine washable at 30 degrees.
  • Wash with similar colors.
  • Use a non-bio detergent.
  • Air dry only. Do not tumble dry.
  • Reshape while damp.
