Full details
The Woof Wear Dressage Saddlecloth is designed for equestrians seeking a balance of luxury and performance for their dressage training or competition needs. Featuring a premium lambswool fleece lining for superior comfort and pressure distribution, it is ideal for horses with sensitive skin. While its high-quality construction ensures durability, users should be mindful that the natural sheepskin lining requires specialized care compared to synthetic alternatives to maintain its softness and structural integrity.

FAQs
Can I machine wash this saddlecloth?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle using a wool-safe detergent, but it must be air dried.
Is the sheepskin lining removable?
No, the lambswool lining is integrated into the design to ensure stability and structural performance.
What size is the 'Full' designation?
The Full size is designed to fit standard dressage saddles ranging from 17 inches to 18 inches.
Does the ballistic nylon pad add bulk?
The pad is low-profile and designed to provide protection without creating unnecessary bulk or interfering with leg contact.
Is this suitable for jumping saddles?
The shape is specifically optimized for the long, straight flaps of dressage saddles and may not fit correctly under forward-cut jumping saddles.
Troubleshooting
Saddlecloth slips during movement
Ensure the D-ring straps are tightly fastened and the girth is properly threaded through the separation loops.
Sheepskin becoming matted
After washing and air drying, use a dedicated sheepskin grooming brush to gently fluff the fibers.
Difficulty fitting under specific saddle models
Verify that your saddle width is compatible with the dressage-cut profile; if the saddle is extremely deep-seated, ensure the high-wither section is correctly pulled up into the gullet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the saddlecloth, align the high-wither spine with the horse's back and secure the easy-fit D-ring straps to the saddle's front D-rings. Feed the girth through the girth strap separation loops to ensure stability. For care, it is recommended to use a mild, sheepskin-specific detergent when washing. Avoid high-heat drying, as this can cause the natural sheepskin to shrink or become brittle. Air drying in a shaded, well-ventilated area is best to maintain the longevity of the fleece and the shape of the polycotton outer layer. Regular brushing of the wool after it dries can help keep the fibers fluffy and effective for the next use.
