FAQs

What makes the bamboo lining beneficial?

The Nano Bamboo lining is highly breathable and has excellent moisture-wicking properties, helping to keep your horse cool, dry, and comfortable by drawing sweat away from the skin.

Is this saddle pad suitable for all horses?

The high wither design makes it suitable for horses with prominent withers. The close contact fit is best suited for dressage saddles and riders who prefer a minimal space between themselves and the horse.

How should I clean the Premier Equine Atlas Dressage Square?

You can machine wash the saddle pad at 30°C. It should be air-dried naturally and not put in a tumble dryer.

What is the purpose of the diamond quilt pattern?

The diamond quilt pattern not only adds to the aesthetic appeal with its luxury matte finish but also helps to maintain the pad's structure and distribute the filling evenly.

Does the pad come with any accessories?

Yes, the Premier Equine Atlas Close Contact Dressage Square includes a complimentary reusable zip-fastened storage bag.

Can I use this pad for jumping or eventing?

While designed as a dressage square, its secure fit and close contact nature could potentially suit some riders in other disciplines. However, its primary design is for dressage.

How do the girth straps and D-loops ensure a secure fit?

The adjustable Velcro D-loops attach to the saddle's D-rings, and the microfibre leather girth straps connect to the girth, working together to keep the pad stable and prevent it from shifting during exercise.

Troubleshooting

Pad slips during riding

Ensure the Velcro D-loops and girth straps are securely fastened. Check that the saddle is properly fitted and balanced.

Horse appears uncomfortable or has rubs

Verify the high wither area is correctly positioned and not pressing down. Ensure the pad is clean and free from debris. Check saddle fit.

Pad loses shape after washing

Follow the care instructions precisely: machine wash at 30°C and dry naturally. Avoid tumble drying or harsh detergents.

Excessive sweat remains on the horse's back

While the bamboo lining is highly wicking, ensure the pad is adequately aired after use. For extremely heavy sweating, consider an additional thin numnah if appropriate for your discipline.
