Product Information

Full details

The LeMieux Suede Dressage Square in red is designed for dressage riders who prioritize horse comfort and equipment longevity. Its primary benefit is the moisture-wicking bamboo lining that controls sweat and minimizes friction during intense training sessions. While the high-quality suede exterior offers a premium look, it requires careful maintenance to preserve its vibrant color and texture over time.

FAQs

Is this pad suitable for daily schooling?

Yes, the durable construction and bamboo lining make it an excellent choice for daily training and schooling.

Can I put this pad in the dryer?

No, it is highly recommended to air dry the pad to prevent damage to the suede and shrinking of the lining.

Will this fit a close-contact saddle?

This pad is specifically engineered with a high-wither profile for dressage saddles and may not provide the ideal fit for close-contact or jumping saddles.

How do I attach the D-Ring tabs?

Simply loop the elasticated tabs through the D-rings on the front of your dressage saddle and fasten them securely.

Does the red color bleed when washed?

When washed according to instructions with non-biological detergent, the color is designed to remain stable, though you should always wash with similar colors for the first few cycles.

Troubleshooting

Saddle pad slipping during work

Check that the elasticated D-Ring tabs are securely fastened to the saddle and that the girth is tightened appropriately.

Stiffness after washing

Ensure you are using a non-biological detergent and consider a gentle spin cycle. Stretch the pad into its original shape while damp before air drying.

Visible dirt on the suede

Allow the mud to dry completely and gently brush it away with a soft-bristled brush to avoid pushing dirt deeper into the fabric.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional moisture management via bamboo lining
  • Reinforced girth area prevents wear and tear
  • Anatomic high-wither shape ensures a better fit
  • Stays securely in place during schooling and competition

Cons

  • Suede material requires specific cleaning protocols
  • Red color may fade if exposed to excessive direct sunlight
  • Limited to dressage saddle styles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance, place the high-wither profile centered over the horse's spine, pulling the pad up into the gullet of the saddle to allow for proper airflow. Secure the elasticated straps to your saddle's D-rings to maintain positioning. For care, it is recommended to machine wash the pad at 30 degrees using a non-biological detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleaches that could damage the suede or the bamboo fibers. It is best to air dry the pad away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the fabric from shrinking or becoming stiff. Brushing the suede gently with a soft brush when dry can help maintain the nap of the material.
