Product Information
Full details
The LeMieux ProSorb GP Square Saddle Pad is designed for riders seeking enhanced comfort and stability for their horse. Its key benefit lies in the high-density foam inserts that effectively reduce pressure points, combined with a bamboo blend lining for superior moisture-wicking and non-static properties. A potential consideration is the need for precise shim placement to achieve optimal fit, which may require practice.

FAQs
How many sets of shims are included?
The saddle pad comes with two sets of 5mm foam shims, allowing for precise fit adjustments.
What material is the underside lining made of?
The underside is lined with a natural bamboo blend, known for its sweat-wicking, cooling, and non-static properties.
Can I use this pad with a jump saddle?
While designed as a GP Square pad, its shape and features can be suitable for some jump saddles, especially with careful fit adjustment using the shims.
How often should I wash the saddle pad?
Wash the saddle pad as needed, typically when it appears dirty or loses its wicking effectiveness. Follow the care instructions for best results and longevity.
What is the benefit of the X Grip silicone prints?
The X Grip silicone prints are strategically placed to provide enhanced grip and stability, preventing the saddle pad and saddle from shifting during exercise.
Can I tumble dry the saddle pad?
No, do not tumble dry. The saddle pad should be air-dried only to maintain its shape and material integrity.
How do I insert the foam shims?
The foam shims are designed to be inserted into specific pockets within the saddle pad. Refer to the product packaging or specific diagrams if provided for exact placement.
Troubleshooting
Saddle pad slips despite X Grip silicone
Ensure the horse's back and the saddle pad lining are clean and dry. Verify that shims are inserted correctly and not causing an uneven balance. Check that the girth is appropriately tightened.
Horse appears uncomfortable or sensitive
Adjust or remove shims to ensure an even pressure distribution. Ensure the saddle itself is correctly fitted. Clean the saddle pad to remove any potential irritants.
Bamboo lining not wicking moisture effectively
Ensure the pad is clean. Residue from detergents or body oils can impede wicking properties. Wash according to care instructions without fabric softener.
Girth strap loops feel insecure
Ensure the girth straps are threaded correctly through the loops. Check for any signs of wear or damage on the loops or the girth itself.
