FAQs
Can I wash this saddlecloth in a standard washing machine?
Yes, but it must be washed at a maximum temperature of 30 degrees Celsius.
Does the pad come in different sizes?
The current model is available as the Hyde Park Star edition, designed for standard saddle sizing.
What is the purpose of the spine tape?
The ARMA logo spine tape provides a structured fit along the horse's back and adds a decorative, branded finish.
Is the metal badge safe to go in the washer?
It is recommended to place the saddlecloth in a wash bag to prevent the metal badge from snagging or causing damage to the machine drum.
Will the embroidery on the girth guards fray?
The girth guards are designed to be hardwearing, but regular inspection is advised to ensure no loose threads are present after long-term use.
Is this suitable for both jumping and dressage saddles?
The ergonomic contouring is designed to fit most standard English saddles comfortably.
Troubleshooting
Saddlecloth slipping during riding
Ensure the touch-close retaining straps are fully tightened and secured to the saddle's D-rings or girth billets.
Excessive sweat buildup on horse's back
Verify that the saddle is properly fitted and the pad is positioned correctly to allow the ULTRA DRI ZONE lining to contact the skin directly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
