Product Information
Full details
Designed for dressage riders who prioritize horse comfort and a professional aesthetic, the Woof Wear Dressage Saddlecloth offers a sophisticated blend of premium materials and ergonomic design. Its primary benefit is the luxurious lambs wool fleece lining, which provides superior pressure distribution and shock absorption during training sessions; however, users should note that the white sheepskin requires diligent cleaning and maintenance to preserve its appearance and loft.

FAQs
Is this saddlecloth suitable for jumping?
This model is specifically cut for dressage saddles. While it may fit under some general-purpose saddles, the shape is optimized for the long, straight flaps of dressage equipment.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
No. Tumble drying will damage the sheepskin and cause the polycotton fabric to shrink. Always air dry.
Will the white sheepskin turn yellow?
If washed with incorrect detergents or exposed to too much heat, white wool can yellow. Use dedicated wool washes and avoid bleach.
What size is the 'Full Size' intended for?
The Full Size is designed to fit most standard dressage saddles ranging from 16.5 inches to 18 inches.
How often should I wash the saddlecloth?
This depends on how much the horse sweats. For daily use, spot clean daily and perform a full wash every 2-3 weeks to prevent salt buildup in the wool.
Troubleshooting
Saddlecloth slipping backward
Ensure the D-ring straps are fastened tightly and the girth is pulled through both the separation loops and the girth guard.
Wool lining becoming matted
After washing and drying, use a specialized wool brush or a clean dog slicker brush to gently tease the fibers apart.
Staining on white sheepskin
Pre-treat stained areas with a mild stain remover safe for wool and wash as soon as possible after use.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior shock absorption from lambs wool
- Anatomic high-wither design prevents pinching
- Reinforced girth area minimizes wear
- Breathable material keeps the horse cool
- Professional, clean aesthetic for competition
Cons
- White sheepskin requires frequent washing
- Careful drying required to prevent stiffening of wool
- Limited color choice for high-visibility needs
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the saddlecloth, align the high-wither section with the horse's wither and pull the fabric slightly upward into the gullet of the saddle to ensure maximum clearance. Fasten the D-ring straps securely and thread the girth through the reinforced loops and the ballistic nylon pad to secure the lower half.
Care instructions are critical for maintaining the sheepskin: use a gentle, wool-specific detergent. Wash in cool water on a delicate cycle and allow to air dry completely away from direct heat sources like radiators. Periodically brush the sheepskin when dry to restore the loft and prevent the fibers from matting.
