FAQs
Can this pad be tumble dried?
No, it is recommended to air dry the saddle pad to prevent heat damage to the satin fabric and bamboo lining.
Is this suitable for jumping saddles?
This model is specifically designed with a dressage cut; it may not sit correctly under the forward flap of a jumping saddle.
How do I remove mud or stains?
Gently brush off dried mud with a soft brush and spot clean with a damp cloth if necessary.
Is the bamboo lining hypoallergenic?
Bamboo is naturally soft and breathable, making it a great choice for horses with sensitive skin.
What is the benefit of the suede binding?
The suede binding is designed to be soft and friction-free, preventing rubs along the edges of the pad where the horse moves.
Troubleshooting
Pad slips during riding
Ensure the girth loops are securely fastened and the D-ring straps are properly attached to your saddle's D-rings.
Satin fabric appears dull after washing
Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers. Air drying is essential to maintain the original finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the pad, ensure the girth straps are properly threaded through the hidden loops to maintain stability. The pad is compatible with most standard-sized dressage saddles. For maintenance, it is recommended to machine wash on a cool cycle, ideally using a wash bag to protect the satin finish. Always reshape the pad while damp after washing to ensure it keeps its form, and allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the fabric from shrinking or fading.
