FAQs

Can this pad be used with any type of saddle?

This half pad is specifically designed for jumping saddles. While it fits a wide range, it's always best to check the fit with your specific saddle model.

How often should I wash the half pad?

It is recommended to wash the pad as needed, typically after significant use or when visible signs of dirt or sweat are present. Follow the care instructions carefully for each wash.

What is the purpose of the silicone matrix print?

The silicone matrix print provides enhanced grip, preventing the saddle from shifting or slipping during ridden exercise, especially during jumping efforts.

Why is a washing bag recommended?

A washing bag helps protect the delicate silk material and the silicone print from excessive wear and tear during the washing machine cycle, preserving the pad's integrity.

What should I do if the pad feels too thick under my saddle?

This pad is designed with shock-absorbing foam, which adds a layer of thickness. If it significantly alters your saddle fit, it may not be suitable for your current saddle-horse combination. Consult with a saddle fitter if unsure.

Can I use a fabric conditioner?

Fabric conditioners are not recommended as they can affect the grip of the silicone print and the properties of the silk material.

Troubleshooting

Pad slipping despite silicone grip

Ensure the horse's back and the pad's underside are clean and free from sweat or dirt. Verify that the pad is pulled into its correct shape while wet and air-dried to maintain structural integrity.

Pad losing its shape after washing

Always reshape the pad while wet and allow it to air dry. Using a washing bag can also help prevent excessive agitation during the wash cycle. Avoid tumble drying.

Horse seems uncomfortable

Double-check that the saddle and pad combination is fitting correctly and not causing any pressure points. Ensure the pad is not bunched up and sits smoothly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The LeMieux Matrix Support Euro Jump Half Pad is designed to be placed directly under a jumping saddle. Due to its adaptable nature, minor adjustments can be made to ensure it sits smoothly and conforms to the horse's back and the saddle's contour. Ensure the breathable mesh underside is facing the horse's back.

Compatibility: This half pad is engineered to fit a wide range of jumping saddles, including close-contact and all-purpose jumping styles. Its cut is designed for a discreet and sophisticated look without compromising saddle function.

Care:

  • Machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius.
  • Washing in a washing bag is strongly recommended to protect the material and the silicone print.
  • After washing, gently pull the pad into its correct shape while it is still wet.
  • Air dry the pad completely. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the materials and affect the shape.
