FAQs
Is this pad suitable for daily training?
Yes, its durable construction and moisture-wicking properties make it an excellent choice for everyday training.
Can I use this for competition?
The elegant herringbone design and tonal rope trim are refined enough for clinics and competitive eventing or show jumping.
How do I prevent the satin finish from dulling?
Wash with a mild detergent on a gentle cycle and avoid harsh chemicals or high-heat tumble drying.
Will this fit a dressage saddle?
This pad is specifically designed for modern close contact (jumping) saddles; it may not provide the necessary coverage for long-flap dressage saddles.
What is the purpose of the mesh lining?
The mesh lining is designed to wick moisture away from the horse's coat, facilitating airflow and keeping the horse dry.
Troubleshooting
The saddle pad slides backward during a ride
Ensure that the girth straps are properly threaded through the girth and that the D-ring attachments are pulled taut before mounting.
Signs of pressure or rubbing at the withers
Check that the pad is correctly pulled up into the gullet of the saddle before you begin your ride; do not leave the pad flat across the wither.
Pros and Cons

- Pressure-free fit for modern close contact saddles

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the pad, align the high-wither contour with the horse's spine, ensuring the pad is pulled slightly up into the saddle gullet to prevent pressure. Secure the D-ring straps to the saddle attachments and feed the girth through the designated separation loops. For care, wash the pad on a gentle cycle with a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents or fabric softeners that could compromise the wicking properties of the mesh lining. Air dry the pad away from direct heat sources to maintain the shape of the satin fabric and the integrity of the trim.
