FAQs
Is this pad suitable for a jumping saddle?
It is designed for all-purpose saddles. While it may fit some jumping saddles, it is not specifically cut for that purpose and might not follow the flap lines perfectly.
Can I put this in a clothes dryer?
It is recommended to air dry the saddle pad to prevent shrinkage and preserve the structural integrity of the quilting.
How often should I wash the saddle pad?
It should be washed whenever it becomes damp with sweat or visibly dirty to maintain your horse's skin health and prevent saddle sores.
Does this pad include extra spine clearance?
The pad is shaped to be pulled up into the gullet of the saddle, allowing for necessary spine clearance during use.
Will the color fade over time?
While the fabric is durable, as with all equestrian textiles, consistent exposure to direct sunlight and frequent washing may lead to gradual color softening.
Troubleshooting
Pad sliding or shifting during the ride
Ensure the girth is properly threaded through the integrated loops and that the touch-tape tabs are securely fastened to the saddle's girth straps.
Fabric appearing flat after washing
Avoid high-heat tumble drying. Stretch the pad gently while damp and allow it to air dry to help restore the loft of the diamond-quilted pattern.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable, long-lasting construction
- Secure fit prevents shifting and friction
- Easy to clean and maintain
- Versatile for various riding disciplines
Cons
- Limited to all-purpose saddle shapes
- Specific brown colorway may not match all tack sets
- Lacks specialized padding for high-impact jumping
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the pad, place it gently over the horse's back, ensuring it sits well within the saddle's gullet to prevent pressure points. Attach the touch-tape tabs to the D-rings or girth straps of your saddle to hold the front in place. Feed the girth through the side loops before tightening your girth to secure the underside.
Compatibility: This pad is designed for standard all-purpose saddles. It may not provide optimal fit for extreme close-contact jumping saddles or long-flap dressage saddles.
Care: To clean, remove excess hair with a soft brush. Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or heavy bleach. Air dry the pad flat or on a rack to maintain the shape of the quilt and extend the life of the fabric.
