Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Place the LeMieux Loire Classic Dressage Square on your horse's back, ensuring the wither relief is correctly positioned. Secure the girth through the lower girth straps, utilizing the inner locking loops to attach your girth straps for a snug and stable fit. Ensure the pad lies flat and smoothly under the saddle without any bunching.
Compatibility:
This dressage square is designed to fit most standard dressage saddles. The high wither fit is compatible with horses that have a prominent wither. Always check that the pad provides adequate clearance for the saddle's gullet and doesn't impede the horse's movement.
Care:
- Washing: Machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius. It is highly recommended to use a laundry bag to protect the fabric and binding.
- Detergent: Use a non-biological liquid detergent.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Reshape the saddle pad while it is still damp and allow it to air dry naturally. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Maintenance: Brush off loose dirt and hair before washing. The suede binding should be carefully handled to maintain its shape and profile.
