FAQs
Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?
Yes, but you must use a wool wash cycle and specifically formulated fur-safe detergent.
Is it safe to tumble dry the cover?
No, you must air dry the cover to prevent the lambskin from shrinking and the hide from hardening.
Which girth is this compatible with?
This cover is specifically designed for use with the HKM 14562 Dressage girth.
How do I prevent the velcro from snagging during the wash?
Always ensure the touch-close fasteners are fully closed and secured to themselves before placing them in the machine.
Will this help with girth galls?
Yes, the lambskin provides a protective, breathable layer that reduces friction and pressure on the horse's skin.
Troubleshooting
Cover slipping during a ride
Ensure the hook and loop straps are pulled taut and fully engaged before mounting.
Lambskin becoming matted
Use a specialized wool brush to gently fluff the fibers after the cover has completely air-dried.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For setup, align the velcro straps of the cover with your girth to ensure a smooth, centered fit. The cover is primarily compatible with the HKM 14562 Dressage girth. Regarding care, maintenance is critical to keep the lambskin soft: always ensure the hook and loop fastenings are closed before placing the cover in the wash. Wash using a delicate wool cycle and a detergent specifically formulated for sheepskin. Never place the cover in a tumble dryer, as extreme heat will dry out and damage the natural hide backing.
