Product Information

Full details

The LeMieux ProSorb 2 Pocket Dressage Square in Black is designed for riders seeking enhanced saddle fit and improved comfort for their horse. Its key benefit lies in the customizable support offered by the dual pocket shim system, allowing for precise adjustments to address minor fitting issues and improve balance. A potential caveat is that the shim system requires careful attention during insertion to ensure correct placement and effectiveness.

FAQs

How many shims are included with the pad?

The LeMieux ProSorb 2 Pocket Dressage Square comes with two sets of 5mm foam shims.

Can I wash the pad with the shims inside?

No, it is recommended to remove the shims before washing the saddle pad.

What is the material of the lining?

The lining is made from a natural bamboo blend, which is sweat-wicking and cooling.

How do I clean the X Grip silicone?

Gently wipe the silicone areas with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the silicone.

Is this pad suitable for jumping saddles?

While designed for dressage saddles, its square shape and shim system can be adapted for some jumping saddles. However, it is primarily optimized for dressage discipline.

Can I mix and match shim thicknesses?

This specific model comes with 5mm shims. While you could potentially use other compatible shims, only the included 5mm shims are guaranteed to work as intended with this pad.

Troubleshooting

Shims do not sit correctly

Ensure shims are fully inserted into the pockets and that the pockets are free of debris. Re-insert carefully, ensuring they lay flat.

Pad slips during use

Check that the X Grip silicone is clean and free from dust or hair. Ensure the saddle and girth are correctly secured. Verify that the shims are evenly placed.

Horse appears uncomfortable

Review shim placement for even pressure distribution. Ensure the saddle itself fits correctly and is not the source of discomfort. Check the pad for any internal folds or bunched material.

Bamboo lining feels damp

This is normal as the bamboo is designed to wick moisture. Ensure the pad is fully dry before storage. If excessive dampness persists, check for any blockages or irritation points.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides customizable support through the shim system for better saddle fit.
  • Enhances stability with X Grip silicone prints to prevent saddle slip.
  • Promotes horse comfort with breathable, sweat-wicking bamboo lining.
  • Durable construction with reinforced girth protection.
  • Helps to balance the saddle and reduce pressure points on the horse's back.

Cons

  • The shim system requires careful insertion to avoid misalignment.
  • May add bulk under the saddle, which could affect very sensitive saddle fits.
  • Requires regular cleaning to maintain the effectiveness of the bamboo lining and X Grip silicone.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the saddle pad is clean before use.
  2. Insert the 5mm foam shims into the designated pockets on the underside of the pad. You can use both sets or a single set, and they can be placed in the front or rear pockets, or both, to achieve the desired balance and support.
  3. Place the saddle pad on the horse's back, ensuring it lies smoothly.
  4. Attach the saddle and girth through the provided loops and strap.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for dressage saddles, but can be used with other saddles requiring a square pad.
  • The shim system allows for adaptation to minor saddle fit discrepancies.

Care:

  • Machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius.
  • Wash with similar colours.
  • Do not tumble dry or bleach.
  • Allow to air dry naturally.
  • Remove shims before washing.
