FAQs
Is this saddle cloth suitable for both jumping and dressage saddles?
Yes, its versatile anatomical design is intended to fit most standard saddle types.
Can I tumble dry the saddle cloth?
No, we recommend air drying the cloth in a shaded area to maintain the longevity of the foam and wadding material.
What is the best way to clean the touch-close fasteners?
Ensure they are fastened closed before washing to prevent lint buildup and keep them debris-free so they maintain their grip.
Is the material breathable?
The polyester construction is durable and designed for regular use, providing a good balance between material longevity and breathability for the horse.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the HKM Golden Gate series is available in several colors including Red, Blue, Brown, and Pink to suit personal preference.
Troubleshooting
The saddle pad keeps slipping back during rides.
Ensure the touch-close keepers are securely fastened to the saddle's D-rings and that the girth is properly adjusted to hold the pad in place.
Padding feels flatter after multiple washes.
Check your wash cycle settings to ensure you are not exceeding 30 degrees and avoid using a high-spin setting, which can compress the foam filling over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the HKM Golden Gate Bit Saddle Cloth is straightforward. Simply drape the cloth over the horse's back, ensuring the anatomical curve aligns with the horse's spine, and secure the touch-close keepers to your saddle's attachment points. This cloth is compatible with most standard dressage and jumping saddles. For care, it is essential to close all touch-fasteners before washing to prevent snagging on the fabric. Always machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius; avoid high-heat tumble drying or harsh chemical bleaches, as these can degrade the specialized internal wadding and compromise the structure of the padding.
