The bamboo lining is highly effective at absorbing and controlling sweat, keeping the horse drier and more comfortable during exercise. It also has natural breathability and helps to minimize friction.
How do I ensure the saddle pad maintains its shape?
It is crucial to pull the saddle pad into its correct shape immediately after washing while it is still damp, and then air dry it. Always use a wash bag and close all hook & loop fasteners before machine washing on a 30-degree cycle.
Can I use this saddle pad for jumping or eventing?

Troubleshooting
Saddle pad does not seem to be wicking sweat effectively.
Ensure the saddle pad is clean. Sweat and dirt can impede the wicking capabilities of the bamboo lining. Follow the care instructions for washing and drying. Also, ensure there are no other layers trapping moisture between the horse and the saddle pad.
The saddle pad appears to have lost its shape after washing.
Check that the saddle pad was pulled into its correct shape while damp after washing and that it was air-dried. Avoid tumble drying, as this can cause shrinkage and deformation. Ensure the washing machine drum was large enough.
Visible wear or friction marks on the horse.
Verify the saddle is correctly fitted and balanced. Ensure the saddle pad is positioned correctly, with no bunching or creasing. Check that the hook & loop fasteners on the saddle pad are not catching on the horse's coat or tack. Clean the pad regularly to maintain its smooth surface.
