FAQs
Is this pad suitable for show jumping?
Yes, its all-purpose cut is compatible with most jumping saddles for schooling purposes.
Can I use this on a dressage saddle?
It is designed for all-purpose/jumping saddles; a dressage-specific pad is recommended for the longer flaps of a dressage saddle.
What is the primary material?
This model is constructed from durable polyester.
How do I attach the pad to my girth?
Use the touch tape tabs at the front and pass the girth through the integrated loops for maximum stability.
Is this machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable on a gentle cycle. Always air dry the pad.
Troubleshooting
Saddle pad continues to slide backward
Ensure the touch tape tabs are tightly fastened to the girth straps and that the girth is passed through the integrated loops on both sides.
Pad feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and skip fabric softeners, which can build up on synthetic materials and cause stiffening.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Secure fit prevents slippage during intense activity

- Excellent value for a reliable, everyday piece of gear
Cons
- Polyester fabric may be less breathable than natural cotton
- Limited to specific blue colorway
- Basic design lacks high-end aesthetic embellishments
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the pad, place it gently over the horse's withers, ensuring the front edge is pulled up into the saddle gullet to prevent pressure. Secure the touch tape tabs around the girth straps and thread the girth through the integrated loops once the saddle is positioned. For care, this polyester pad can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with mild detergent; always air dry to maintain the integrity of the quilting and the attachment components. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents, as these can break down the synthetic fibers over time.
