FAQs
Can I use thicker shims than the ones provided?
The pad is designed to work optimally with the included 5mm foam shims. Using thicker or non-standard shims may compromise the fit.
How often should I wash the pad?
Wash as needed to remove sweat and salt buildup, which can irritate the horse's skin and degrade the lining.
Does the silicone grip damage the saddle?
The X Grip silicone is designed to be gentle on leather; however, keep both the pad and the saddle underside clean to prevent grit from causing friction.
Is this pad suitable for all saddle types?
It is specifically designed for close contact saddles to ensure a streamlined fit and maximum performance.
What is the benefit of bamboo lining?
Bamboo is naturally antibacterial, highly absorbent, and offers superior cooling compared to traditional cotton linings.
Troubleshooting
Saddle slips during movement
Ensure the X Grip silicone is clean and free of excessive hair or dust, as debris can reduce its tackiness.
Foam shims feel bunched up
Remove shims and flatten them completely inside the pocket to ensure the load is distributed evenly across the surface area.
Stains on white fabric
Pre-treat the area with a mild stain remover approved for technical fabrics before machine washing.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Highly adjustable with included shim system
- Excellent sweat-wicking properties via bamboo fabric
- Silicone print provides notable anti-slip performance
- Durable reinforced girth protection area
Cons
- Requires careful washing to protect silicone grip

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the pad, first assess your saddle fit and determine which shim zones require support. Insert the provided 5mm foam shims into the internal pockets, ensuring they are flat and properly aligned. When fitting to the horse, ensure the inner girth straps are threaded through the dedicated loops to prevent shifting.
Care instructions include:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius on a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a non-biological detergent to preserve the integrity of the fabric and silicone.
- Drying: Air dry only; do not tumble dry as heat can degrade the high-density foam and silicone print.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the white fabric.
