Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the HKM Golden Gate Bit Saddle Cloth, align the spine of the cloth with your horse's back, ensuring the front edges are tucked neatly under the saddle's pommel. Use the integrated touch-close fastening tabs to secure the pad to your saddle's attachment points. For care, the pad is machine washable; to maintain the fabric's quality and the integrity of the foam filling, wash on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid harsh detergents and bleach, and always air dry the cloth to prevent the foam or satin finish from degrading in a hot tumble dryer.
