FAQs
Can I put this pad in the dryer?
Yes, it is suitable for the dryer, though air drying is recommended to extend the life of the fabric and the gold medal trim.
What material is the lining made of?
The interior is lined with soft polar fleece, designed to provide extra warmth and comfort for your horse.
Does this pad fit all horse breeds?
The anatomical shape is designed to be versatile, but fit may vary depending on the horse's wither conformation and your saddle type.
How do I protect the gold logo medal during washing?
Place the saddle cloth inside a mesh laundry bag to prevent the medal from snagging on the drum or other items during the wash cycle.
Is the HKM Marrakesh suitable for competition?
The elegant design and cord detailing make it a sophisticated choice for clinics or schooling shows, provided it complements your overall turnout.
Troubleshooting
Pad slips backward during exercise
Ensure the saddle is correctly fitted and that the girth is tightened sufficiently. Check that the pad is pulled up into the gullet.
Fleece lining becoming matted
Gently brush the fleece lining with a soft-bristled brush after the pad has dried to restore loft and softness.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Anatomical shape ensures a secure fit
- Soft polar fleece interior protects against friction
- Reinforced wither area improves saddle stability
- Machine washable for easy upkeep
Cons
- Beige color shows dirt more easily than darker pads
- The decorative gold medal may require careful handling during wash cycles
- Polyester material may not be as breathable as natural fiber alternatives
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the pad is pulled well up into the saddle gullet before tightening the girth; this prevents downward pressure on the withers. The pad is designed to fit most standard jumping and dressage saddles.
Care instructions are straightforward:
- Brush off loose hair and debris after every use to maintain the fleece lining.
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees Celsius.
- Close all Velcro straps (if applicable) before washing to prevent snagging.
- Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or air dry in a shaded area to preserve the fabric's integrity and color.
