Featuring a breathable wicking liner and an ergonomic cut specifically tailored for modern close contact saddles, this pad provides an excellent balance of pressure relief and moisture management.

FAQs
Is this pad suitable for show jumping?
Yes, it is specifically designed with an ergonomic shape to fit modern close contact jumping saddles.
Can I put this pad in the tumble dryer?
No, you should always air dry the pad to prevent damage to the satin material and the structural integrity of the wicking mesh.
What size is the Woof Wear Herringbone pad?
The pad is available in different sizes including Horse and Cob; please check the specific model label for size confirmation.
How do I ensure the best fit for my horse?
Ensure the pad is pulled well into the gullet of the saddle to prevent pressure on the wither, which the high-wither design is specifically intended to alleviate.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the saddle pad is designed for breathability and moisture-wicking, not water resistance.
Troubleshooting
The pad slides backward during a ride
Ensure the D-ring straps are correctly threaded and tightened. Check that the saddle fits the horse properly; an ill-fitting saddle is a common cause for slipping.
Build-up of sweat/dirt in the mesh liner
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried debris. For deep cleaning, soak the pad in cool water with a mild soap to loosen dirt before a delicate wash cycle.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, align the high-wither section of the pad with the horse's spine, ensuring the pad is pulled well up into the gullet of the saddle before tightening the girth. Utilize the D-ring straps to anchor the pad firmly. For care, gently brush off loose hair or dirt after each ride. When cleaning is necessary, hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle in cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners which can compromise the wicking capability of the liner. Always air dry the pad away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and integrity of the satin material.
