It is recommended to air dry the saddle cloth to preserve the shape and elasticity of the foam and wadding.
Is this suitable for jumping?

How do I keep the touch-close fasteners clean?
Pick out any hair or debris with a small brush or comb periodically to ensure they continue to stick securely.
What material is the saddle cloth made of?
The saddle cloth is constructed from durable polyester.
Will this fit a dressage saddle?

Troubleshooting
Saddle cloth slides backward while riding
Check that the touch-close keepers are securely fastened to the saddle D-rings and that the girth is properly tightened.
The pad looks thin after washing
Ensure you are using the correct temperature (30 degrees). Avoid spin cycles that are too aggressive, which can compress the foam filling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the saddle cloth, align the front edge of the pad with the pommel of your saddle and secure the touch-close straps to the saddle's D-rings. Ensure the pad sits flat against the horse's back before tightening the girth. For maintenance, remove dirt and hair with a soft brush after every ride. When washing, use a machine-washable cycle set to 30 degrees Celsius. Always ensure touch-close fastenings are closed during washing to prevent damage to the fabric or the fasteners themselves. Hang to air dry; avoid using high-heat tumble drying to protect the internal foam structure.
