FAQs
Is this pad suitable for daily schooling?
Yes, the bamboo lining is specifically chosen for its moisture-wicking properties, making it ideal for frequent use.
Can I put this in the dryer?
It is not recommended to tumble dry. Air drying is the best way to maintain the shape and finish of the satin.
Does it fit all dressage saddles?
The shape is designed to fit most standard dressage saddles; the high-wither cut is highly adjustable for various conformations.
How do I remove sweat stains?
Pre-treat the area with a mild stain remover or soak the pad briefly in cool water before a standard machine wash.
Is the girth patch durable?
The matte PU leather patch is specifically added to provide a rugged, textured surface to withstand the friction of girth buckles.
Troubleshooting
Saddle pad slipping during work
Ensure the D-ring straps are properly secured and the girth is passed through all provided keepers.
Luster fading after washing
Avoid high-temperature drying and harsh chemical detergents; use a gentle cycle with a wash bag.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the pad, open the velcro-secured D-ring tabs and thread them through your saddle's D-rings before tightening your girth. Ensure the girth passes through the specialized reinforced loops to keep the pad centered. For care, it is recommended to wash the pad at 30 degrees Celsius in a machine. Use non-biological detergent and ensure that all velcro tabs are closed before washing to prevent damage to the fabric. It is best to air dry the pad away from direct heat sources to maintain the shape of the quilting and the integrity of the satin finish.
