The Woof Wear Elite Comfort Plus Dressage Saddle Pad is designed for dressage riders who prioritize both aesthetic elegance and structural stability. This pad is ideal for those looking to improve saddle fit and reduce pressure on the horse's back through its integrated 15mm foam panel; however, riders should note that the high-density velvet material requires careful, gentle cleaning to maintain its luxurious finish.

FAQs
Can I put this pad in the washing machine?
It is recommended to rinse the pad with low-pressure cold water to preserve the integrity of the anti-slip silicone and the structure of the internal foam.
Is this pad suitable for jumping saddles?
This pad is specifically shaped for the longer, straighter lines of a dressage saddle; it may not provide the correct coverage for a forward-cut jumping saddle.
What is the purpose of the 15mm foam?
The foam provides shock absorption and helps correct minor saddle fit issues, reducing pressure points on the horse's back.
Will the velvet underside pull on the horse's coat?
No, the velvet is designed to be soft and gentle against the coat while providing a natural grip that helps prevent slipping.
How do I protect the silicone panel during storage?
Store the pad flat or draped over a saddle rack in a clean environment; avoid folding it sharply, as this can damage the silicone and foam over time.
Troubleshooting
Pad sliding during transitions
Ensure the girth loops are tightly secured and the pad is pulled well into the wither area before mounting.
Foam feels stiff after cleaning
Ensure the pad was rinsed thoroughly and allowed to air dry completely in a natural position.
Dirt stuck in velvet pile
Use a soft-bristled grooming brush to gently lift dirt after the pad has dried; do not use heavy pressure.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent shock absorption from 15mm foam layer
- High wither design prevents spinal pressure
- Effective non-slip silicone technology
- Sophisticated velvet finish suitable for competition
- Highly secure attachment points
Cons
- Velvet material requires more specific care than standard cotton
- Not suitable for high-heat tumble drying
- May be too thick for already narrow-fitting saddles
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure the high wither section is pulled well up into the gullet of the saddle before tightening the girth. Use the D-ring attachments for a custom fit, especially if your dressage saddle has longer flaps. For maintenance, start by brushing off loose hair and dirt after every ride to prevent accumulation. When cleaning is necessary, rinse the pad with cold water using a low-pressure hose. Avoid using harsh detergents or brushes that could damage the velvet pile. Always allow the pad to air dry naturally in a shaded, well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight or artificial heat sources like radiators to prevent the foam or silicone from degrading.
