Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This saddle pad is designed to be placed directly beneath a dressage saddle. Ensure the horse's back is clean and dry before fitting.
- Lay the saddle pad evenly over the horse's back, ensuring the high-wither cut is correctly positioned at the front.
- Attach the elasticated D-ring tabs to the D-rings on the saddle.
- Secure the girth through the appropriate girth loops, ensuring the girth guard area of the pad is protected.
- Fit the dressage saddle as usual.
Compatibility:
- Saddle Type: Exclusively designed for dressage saddles. Its shape and cut are optimized for the longer, straighter flaps of dressage saddles.
- Horse Type: Suitable for most horses, with particular benefits for those with high withers or sensitive skin due to the specialized cut and lining.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius. It is recommended to wash in a 30°C cool wash on a gentle/delicate cycle.
- Drying: Air dry naturally. Do not tumble dry. Avoid using strong dryers or direct intense heat.
- Detergent: Use a non-biological, non-enzymatic washing powder or liquid. For best results, use a specific product for technical fabrics.
