FAQs
Is this pad suitable for daily use?
Yes, the durable wadding and breathable materials are designed specifically for the rigors of everyday schooling.
Can I machine wash the HKM Naples Saddle Cloth?
Yes, it is machine washable, but we recommend a gentle cycle at a cool temperature to preserve the decorative cord trim.
Does this pad fit all saddle types?
The Naples is designed for general purpose use, but please check your specific saddle shape and the pad dimensions to ensure compatibility.
What is the benefit of the foam and wadding?
This combination provides enhanced shock absorption and protects the horse's back from impact during movement.
How do I prevent the cord border from fraying?
Wash the pad inside a protective laundry bag to minimize friction against other items in the machine.
Troubleshooting
The saddle cloth slips backward during a ride.
Ensure that the touch-close attachment straps are securely fastened to the saddle's D-rings and that the girth is properly tightened through the girth keepers.
The pad feels damp after light work.
Verify that the horse is not clipped or rugged too heavily, and ensure the pad is fully brushed to clear any blocked pores in the fabric after every ride.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, align the spine of the HKM Naples pad with the channel of your saddle before tightening the girth. Always secure the hook-and-loop straps to the D-rings of the saddle to maintain the pad's position. For care, it is recommended to wash the pad at a low temperature to protect the integrity of the foam filling and the aesthetic cord trim. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents. Always air dry the pad away from direct heat sources to prevent the fabric or inner filling from warping.
