FAQs

Is the HKM Bologna Saddle Cloth safe for tumble drying?

Yes, it is suitable for tumble drying on a low heat setting, provided all fasteners are closed.

Can I use this for both jumping and dressage?

The HKM Bologna line offers specific cuts; please ensure you select the 'Dressage' or 'General Purpose' variant as required by your saddle type.

What temperature should I wash the cloth at?

The manufacturer recommends a standard machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius.

How do I prevent the touch-close straps from damaging other items in the wash?

Always close the touch-close fastenings securely before putting the saddle cloth in the machine.

What material is the saddle cloth made of?

It is crafted from durable, high-quality polyester fabric.

Does this cloth provide shock absorption?

Yes, it includes a foam insert specifically designed for cushioning and shock absorption.

Troubleshooting

Saddle cloth slides backward while riding

Verify that all touch-close keepers are securely fastened to the saddle billets or D-rings before mounting.

Fasteners collecting hair or debris

Use a stiff brush or a specialized grooming comb to remove debris from the hook-and-loop material to maintain adhesion.

Padding feels flatter after heavy use

Ensure the foam insert is properly positioned within the cloth; wash and air dry to allow the foam to expand back to its original shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent shock absorption for horse comfort
  • Anatomical shape prevents shifting
  • Machine washable and tumble-dry safe
  • Available in multiple colors to match equestrian gear
  • Robust polyester fabric ensures long-term durability

Cons

  • Touch-close fasteners require attention during washing
  • Limited to specific material blend
  • Must verify specific dressage or general purpose cut before purchase

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your saddle cloth, align the anatomical spine of the pad with the gullet of your saddle and secure the touch-close straps to your saddle's D-rings or billets. Ensure the pad is pulled slightly up into the saddle channel to provide clearance over the withers.

For maintenance, the polyester construction makes cleaning simple. Machine wash the cloth at 30 degrees Celsius. Crucially, always fasten all touch-close straps to themselves before placing the item in the washing machine to prevent damage to the fabric or the fasteners. The cloth is compatible with tumble drying on low heat settings, making it easy to return to service quickly after a thorough cleaning.
