FAQs

What is SupaFleece?

SupaFleece is a synthetic material designed to mimic the look, feel, and protective qualities of real sheepskin, but with the added benefits of being more durable, easier to wash, and faster to dry.

Is this numnah suitable for a horse with a very sensitive back?

Yes, the SupaFleece lining provides excellent cushioning and shock absorption, which can be beneficial for horses with sensitive backs. However, proper fit is crucial.

How often should I wash the numnah?

It's recommended to wash the numnah after each use, especially if the horse has sweated heavily. Regular washing ensures hygiene and maintains the SupaFleece material's condition.

Can I use this numnah with any type of saddle?

This numnah is designed for general use with English saddles. Ensure your saddle provides adequate clearance and does not put undue pressure on the numnah or the horse's back.

Does the natural colour fade?

The natural SupaFleece colour is designed to be stable. However, like most fabrics, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight might cause some slight fading over extended periods.

What are the benefits of using a numnah?

Numnahs help to protect the horse's back from saddle pressure and friction, absorb shock, and keep the saddle cleaner. They can also help improve saddle fit slightly.

Troubleshooting

Numnah slips during riding.

Ensure the girth straps are securely fastened and adjusted correctly. Check that the saddle is sitting properly over the numnah and that the numnah itself is not bunched. Elastic retaining straps can also be adjusted for a tighter fit.

SupaFleece appears matted.

This can happen with prolonged use. Gently brush the SupaFleece with a soft brush after washing and drying to help restore its loft. Ensure the numnah is fully dry before brushing.

Horse shows signs of irritation.

First, ensure the numnah is clean and free from debris. Double-check the fit to make sure it's not too tight or causing friction points. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult with a veterinarian or saddle fitter.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent shock absorption for horse comfort.
  • Durable and easy-to-care-for SupaFleece material.
  • Prevents sores and chafing effectively.
  • Secure fit that stays in place during exercise.
  • Machine washable for convenient cleaning.

Cons

  • Requires proper fitting to ensure effectiveness.
  • May not offer the same level of breathability as some natural materials.
  • SupaFleece, while durable, can eventually show wear over time with heavy use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Place the numnah smoothly on the horse's back.
  2. Ensure it sits correctly under the saddle, without bunching.
  3. Secure the touch-close girth straps around the girth. Adjust for a snug, but not tight, fit.
  4. Fasten the elastic insert retaining straps as needed for added stability.

Compatibility:

This numnah is designed to fit under most standard English saddles. Ensure your saddle has adequate clearance for the numnah to prevent discomfort for the horse.

Care:

  • Washing: Machine washable on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Wash separately or with similar colours.
  • Drying: Air dry only. Avoid tumble drying as it can damage the SupaFleece material. Due to its quick-drying nature, it typically dries within a few hours.
