FAQs
Is this pad suitable for everyday use?
Yes, the durable construction and comfort features make it suitable for regular training and riding.
Can I use this pad without a full saddle pad?
This is a half pad, designed to provide cushioning and airflow. While it can be used alone, many riders use it in conjunction with a full saddle pad for added protection and support.
How often should I wash the half pad?
Wash as needed, typically after multiple uses or if it becomes dirty or soiled. Follow the care instructions carefully to maintain its quality.
What material is the upper part of the pad made from?
The upper is made from a durable, breathable, pre-shrunk 100% cotton fabric.
Will the faux fur lining irritate my horse?
The faux fur lining is designed to be luxuriously soft and gentle, making it ideal for horses with sensitive skin. However, always monitor your horse for any reactions.
What does 'Air-Tec mesh spine' mean?
This refers to a specialized mesh panel along the horse's spine that is engineered to maximize ventilation and airflow, helping to keep the horse cool.
Troubleshooting
Pad slips during riding
Ensure the D-ring straps are securely fastened to the saddle's D-rings. Check that the saddle is properly fitted to the horse.
Horse seems uncomfortable or rubs
Verify the fit of the saddle and the pad. Ensure the faux fur lining is clean and free of debris. Confirm the high wither design is providing adequate clearance.
Faux fur lining is matted
Gently brush the faux fur after washing and air drying. Ensure no heat is applied during the drying process.
