FAQs
Is this saddlecloth suitable for dressage saddles?
This model is specifically designed for General Purpose (GP) saddles and may not offer the correct shape or drop for a dressage saddle.
Can I tumble dry the Shires ARMA saddlecloth?
It is recommended to hang dry this product to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the shape of the saddlecloth.
How often should I wash it?
To maintain the effectiveness of the moisture-wicking lining and prevent build-up, it is best to wash it whenever it becomes noticeably saturated with sweat.
Does it come in different colors?
Yes, it is available in several colors including white and blue, suitable for both training and competition.
Will the girth guards protect against leather girth wear?
Yes, the hardwearing girth guards are positioned to provide a barrier between the girth and the cotton fabric, significantly extending the life of the saddlecloth.
Troubleshooting
Saddlecloth slipping backward
Ensure the girth straps are properly threaded through the girth guides and the D-ring straps are firmly attached to the saddle.
Lining no longer wicking sweat
Wash the saddlecloth without fabric softener. Fabric softener residue often prevents the moisture-wicking technology from functioning correctly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent sweat-wicking properties for horse comfort
- Anti-pill fabric maintains a sharp look
- Secure fit prevents slipping under the saddle
- Provides good wither clearance to prevent pressure
- Durable construction with reinforced girth guards
Cons
- Cotton material may stain if not washed frequently
- Limited to GP (General Purpose) saddle shapes
- Requires proper drying time to maintain lining performance
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the saddlecloth is straightforward: align the contoured wither shape with your saddle's pommel, then thread the D-ring straps through the saddle's D-rings to secure the front. Ensure the girth passes through the girth guides to prevent the cloth from sliding backward during movement.
- Compatibility: Designed specifically for General Purpose (GP) saddles. It may not provide an ideal fit for dedicated dressage or close-contact jumping saddles.
- Care: Machine wash at a low temperature using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the moisture-wicking fibers of the ULTRA DRI ZONE lining. Hang dry in a well-ventilated area to ensure the lining dries thoroughly before the next use.
