Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your HKM saddle cloth, align the anatomically curved spine of the cloth with the horse's wither and spine line. Use the included touch-close fastenings to secure the cloth to the saddle’s billets or D-rings. Ensure the cloth is pulled slightly up into the gullet of the saddle to avoid pressure on the horse's spine. For care, always brush off loose hair and dirt before washing. Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius using a gentle cycle and mild detergent. Avoid tumble drying to maintain the integrity of the internal foam padding and hang to air dry naturally.
