FAQs
Is this pad suitable for daily schooling?
Yes, the durable design and reinforced girth protection make it an excellent choice for both everyday training and competition.
Can I tumble dry the saddle pad?
No, it is highly recommended to air dry the pad to maintain the integrity of the bamboo fibers and the suede-effect binding.
Does the pad fit all dressage saddles?
It is designed to fit the standard shape of dressage saddles, though extremely high-withered saddles may require additional clearance adjustments.
How do I remove heavy dirt from the check fabric?
Brush off dry mud with a soft brush before washing; avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the heritage check material.
What is the benefit of the bamboo lining?
Bamboo is naturally antibacterial, highly absorbent, and helps regulate temperature better than standard cotton linings.
Troubleshooting
The saddle pad slides back during riding.
Ensure the girth is threaded through the hidden loops and that the pad is correctly pulled into the saddle's gullet before tightening the girth.
The fabric is starting to show signs of sweat accumulation.
Ensure the bamboo lining is fully dried out after every ride; avoid leaving the pad in a damp tack room, as this prevents the moisture-wicking fibers from resetting.
Pros and Cons

- Excellent moisture-wicking properties via bamboo lining

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the saddle pad is pulled well up into the gullet of the dressage saddle, which allows for proper airflow and prevents pressure on the wither. Use the hidden girth loop channels to feed your girth through, ensuring the pad remains securely anchored. When washing, it is recommended to use a mild, non-biological detergent. Machine wash on a cool setting (30 degrees) and reshape the pad while damp. Always air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent shrinkage or damage to the suede-effect binding.
