FAQs
Is the saddle cloth compatible with all saddle types?
It is designed for standard saddle geometries. If you use a highly specialized or custom saddle, ensure the anatomical shape does not interfere with the saddle panels.
How often should I wash the saddle cloth?
Wash as needed, generally after 3-5 uses, or immediately if it has become heavily saturated with sweat.
Can I tumble dry this product?
No, tumble drying is not recommended as it may damage the foam and wadding integrity.
Does the Cyan color fade with repeated washing?
The material is designed for durability, but washing in cool water and avoiding direct, harsh sunlight while drying will help maintain color vibrancy.
What is the primary material used?
The cloth is crafted from high-quality, moisture-wicking polyester.
Troubleshooting
Saddle cloth slides backward
Ensure the touch-close keepers are tightly secured to the saddle's D-rings.
Bunched material under the saddle
Check that the spine of the cloth is pulled upward into the gullet during the initial saddling process.
Stubborn stains on the fabric
Pre-treat the area with a mild equestrian-safe fabric cleaner before placing it in the washing machine.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent moisture-wicking properties

Cons
- Limited to 30-degree wash cycles
- Requires proper alignment for the anatomical fit
- Synthetic polyester may lack the breathability of natural fibers
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the saddle cloth, align the front edge with the pommel of your saddle and ensure the spine of the cloth is pulled up slightly into the saddle gullet to prevent pressure on the withers. Secure the touch-close keepers to the saddle's attachment points.
For care, the item is designed for durability; however, it should be washed in a cool cycle (30 degrees) to preserve the integrity of the foam filling. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or high-heat tumble drying, as these can degrade the synthetic polyester fabric and the internal wadding. Air drying in a well-ventilated area is recommended to maintain the shape of the anatomical padding.
