Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, place the saddle cloth so the contoured edge aligns with the horse's spine and clears the wither area. Always verify that the girth straps are securely fastened to prevent the cloth from slipping backward. For care, remove excessive hair or dirt with a soft brush before washing. Wash at 30 degrees using a mild detergent and avoid heavy fabric softeners, which can clog the moisture-wicking fibers. It is safe for tumble drying on a low heat setting.
