Product Information
Full details
The HKM Colour Breeze Saddle Cloth is designed for equestrians seeking a balance of comfort and functional moisture management for their horse during daily rides or training sessions. Its primary benefit is the breathable, quick-drying bottom lining that helps prevent sweat buildup, though users should be mindful that the foam and wadding construction requires specific care during the laundry process to maintain its loft.

FAQs
Is this saddle cloth suitable for all saddle types?
Yes, its anatomically formed design is versatile enough for most general purpose and dressage saddles.
Can I iron this saddle cloth?
It is not recommended to iron the saddle cloth, as the heat can damage the foam and wadding structure.
What is the best way to remove horse hair?
Use a rubber curry comb or a dedicated lint brush on the outer fabric before placing it in the washing machine.
Will the green color fade quickly?
While the fabric is durable, washing in cold water and avoiding excessive sun exposure during air drying will help maintain color vibrancy.
Can I use this for competition?
Yes, the smart appearance and anatomical fit make it suitable for both daily training and casual competition environments.
Troubleshooting
Saddle cloth slides during use
Ensure that the touch-close fasteners are securely attached to the saddle rings and the cloth is pulled up into the saddle gullet.
Fabric looks matted after washing
Ensure you are using a delicate cycle and avoid using heavy fabric softeners that can clog the breathable fibers.
Touch-close straps are losing adhesion
Remove trapped hair or debris from the hooks using a stiff brush to restore a strong grip.
Pros and Cons

- Machine washable for convenience
Cons
- Requires specific low-temperature wash settings
- Must be tumble dried on delicate cycles only

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, place the saddle cloth so the anatomic arch sits comfortably over the horse's withers, ensuring the touch-close straps are securely attached to the saddle D-rings.
For care and maintenance, follow these steps:
- Always close all touch-close fastenings before placing the cloth in the washing machine to avoid fabric snagging.
- Machine wash at a maximum temperature of 30 degrees Celsius.
- Use a mild detergent.
- When drying, select the delicate cycle on your tumble dryer or air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the foam filling integrity.
