Weatherbeeta Suede Elite Air-Tec Dressage Saddle Pad - Forest Green

Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For more stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals, as this can damage the suede-effect finish. Always air dry.

This saddle pad is specifically designed with a straight cut for dressage saddles. While it might fit other saddles, its shape and features are optimized for dressage.

The Air-Tec mesh spine is a special construction that allows for superior airflow along the horse's back, helping to dissipate heat and moisture more effectively.

The Wick-Easy lining is engineered to quickly draw moisture (sweat) away from the horse's skin and spread it across the fabric, promoting faster evaporation and keeping the horse drier and more comfortable.

The vegan leather patch is placed in the high-wear area where the girth contacts the saddle pad. It provides reinforcement, increasing durability and preventing premature wear and tear.

It is not recommended to machine wash this saddle pad, especially due to the suede-effect outer. Hand washing with cold water and mild soap, followed by air drying, is the preferred method to maintain its quality.

The high wither design creates extra clearance over the horse's wither, preventing potential rubbing, pressure points, or discomfort, which is crucial for the horse's well-being during riding.

Ensure the girth is properly secured through the girth strap and stabiliser. Check that the D-ring straps are securely attached to the saddle's D-rings. A well-fitting saddle also contributes to pad stability.

Verify that the saddle pad is the correct size and shape for your horse and saddle. Ensure the high wither design is properly positioned. Check for any debris or stitching irregularities that might cause irritation.

While designed for breathability, ensure the Air-Tec mesh spine and Wick-Easy lining are clean and free from debris that could impede airflow. Allow the pad to dry completely between uses.
