FAQs

What makes the Self-Cool lining effective?

The Self-Cool lining is designed with advanced wicking properties that actively draw moisture away from the horse's skin and help to dissipate heat, creating a cooling effect.

Is this saddle pad suitable for all disciplines?

While designed for close contact and show jumping, its comfort and stability features make it suitable for dressage and general riding where a close-contact feel is desired.

How do I maintain the sparkle detailing?

To preserve the sparkle, wash the pad inside out in a wash bag on a 30°C cycle. Air dry and avoid harsh chemicals.

Can I use this pad with a standard jump saddle?

Yes, it is designed to work with most close contact and jump saddles, offering a secure fit and stability.

What is the primary benefit of the high wither design?

The high wither design provides extra clearance and reduces pressure on the horse's wither, preventing discomfort and potential sores.

What is the purpose of the faux leather girth protection?

The faux leather panel protects the saddle pad from excessive wear and tear caused by the horse's girth, increasing the longevity of the pad.

How should I store the saddle pad when not in use?

Store the saddle pad in a clean, dry place. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.

Troubleshooting

Pad slips during use

Ensure saddle straps are securely fastened and girth is appropriately tightened. Check that the saddle itself is fitting correctly.

Horse appears uncomfortable or hot

Confirm the Self-Cool lining is facing the horse's back. Ensure the pad is the correct size and the high wither design is not being impeded.

Sparkle detailing is fading or damaged

Use a wash bag for all washes and follow the recommended 30°C machine wash. Avoid harsh detergents and tumble drying.

Girth strap attachment seems loose

Check the girth itself for wear and tear. Ensure the hidden girth loop system is correctly engaged with the girth.
