Troubleshooting
The saddle cloth slips during riding
Ensure the touch-close keepers are securely fastened to the saddle's D-rings and that the girth is properly tensioned through the loops.
Excessive sweat buildup after use
Check that the saddle fits correctly and that the padding has not compressed significantly; allow the pad to dry thoroughly between sessions to restore its wicking capacity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the saddle cloth, align the anatomical spine of the pad with the horse's wither and spine, then secure the touch-close keepers to the saddle D-rings or girth straps as appropriate for your saddle type. For care, this product is machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius. It is recommended to use a mild, horse-safe detergent and avoid harsh bleaches or fabric softeners that could compromise the moisture-wicking finish. Always allow the cloth to air dry naturally away from direct high-heat sources to maintain the shape of the foam filling.
