FAQs
How do I attach the competition numbers?
To attach the numbers, peel back the leather portion of the holder using the touch-close fastening, insert your number card, and press the leather back into place. The number cards are included.
Can the entire saddlecloth be machine washed?
Yes, the saddlecloth can be machine washed. However, the leather number holders and number cards must be removed before washing.
What material is the saddlecloth made from?
The outer material is 100% breathable, anti-pill cotton. The lining is the Ultra DRI ZONE material, which is designed for rapid moisture wicking.
Is this saddlecloth suitable for all equestrian disciplines?
While versatile, its design, particularly the numbered dressage-style holder, makes it most suitable for dressage competitions. The general features of comfort and breathability are beneficial across disciplines.
Does it come with number cards?
Yes, number cards are included with the ARMA Numbered Dressage Saddlecloth.
How does the Ultra DRI ZONE lining work?
The Ultra DRI ZONE lining is engineered to draw sweat away from the horse's skin instantly, promoting a drier coat and reducing the risk of friction-related issues.
What should I do if the touch-close fastening on the number holder isn't working well?
Clean the touch-close strips on both the holder and the saddlecloth with a soft brush to remove any dirt, hair, or debris. This usually restores its effectiveness.
Troubleshooting
Number card is difficult to insert or remove.
Ensure the leather holder is fully peeled back. Check that the number card is not bent or damaged. If the touch-close fastening is sticking, clean it gently with a soft brush.
Saddlecloth does not feel dry after use.
Confirm that the Ultra DRI ZONE lining is functioning correctly. Ensure the saddlecloth is not overly compacted or has debris trapped within the fibers. Allow for adequate air drying after use.
Leather number holder is not staying closed.
Clean the touch-close fastening on both sides of the holder to remove any dirt or debris that may be preventing a secure closure.
Saddlecloth appears to be rubbing the horse.
Verify the saddlecloth is fitted correctly and the girth is not overtightened. Ensure the contoured shape provides adequate wither clearance. Check for any external factors like dirt or grit trapped in the lining.
