FAQs
Is this pad suitable for jumping saddles?
No, this pad is specifically cut for the shape of dressage saddles. A general-purpose or jumping pad would be required for those disciplines.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is not recommended. Air drying is best to preserve the structure of the padding and the effectiveness of the bamboo lining.
How do I attach my breastplate to the pad?
Use the contoured D-ring straps provided on the top front of the pad to securely thread your breastplate attachments.
Does the bamboo lining make the pad thicker?
While the bamboo lining is very effective, the pad maintains a slim profile that does not interfere with saddle fit or close contact.
Is the black color prone to fading?
Like most cotton products, long-term exposure to direct, harsh sunlight can lead to minor fading, but the high-quality fabric is designed for regular use.
Troubleshooting
Pad sliding backward during a ride
Ensure that the internal locking loops on the girth straps are correctly utilized and that the girth is tightened appropriately.
Pad looking misshapen after drying
Gently pull the corners and the spine area while the fabric is still damp to restore the contour and allow to air dry flat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, place the saddle pad so the swan neck sits well up into the gullet of the dressage saddle. Use the contoured D-ring straps to secure the front of the pad before tightening your girth through the internal locking loops. For care, the pad is machine washable; it is recommended to use a mild, non-biological detergent. After washing, pull the pad back into its original shape while damp and allow it to air dry naturally away from direct high-heat sources to ensure the fabric and lining retain their integrity.
