What type of saddle is this pad designed for?
This is a General Purpose (GP) saddle pad, designed to fit most standard GP saddles.
Does the saddle pad have securing straps?
Yes, it features touch tape close girth security straps and fixed girth placement straps for a secure fit.
Is the lining suitable for hot weather?
The lining is designed to be wickaway and breathable, which helps manage moisture and promote comfort in moderate weather conditions.
What are the decorative features of this saddle pad?
It has distinctive hexagon design quilting, a satin rope trim, and a self-colour Rhinegold embroidered logo on the girth strap.
Troubleshooting
Saddle pad slips during riding
Ensure the girth straps (both touch tape and fixed) are securely fastened and correctly aligned with the saddle girth. Check that the saddle itself is properly fitted to the horse.
Velvet material looks matted or flattened
Gently brush the velvet nap with a soft brush in its natural direction when dry. Avoid excessive friction during cleaning or storage.
Excessive moisture retention
While the lining is designed to wick away moisture, heavy sweating in very warm conditions may still lead to some dampness. Ensure adequate drying time after use and consider a more performance-oriented pad for extreme conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Place the saddle pad evenly under your general purpose saddle. Ensure the girth straps align with your saddle's girth. Secure the touch tape girth straps firmly but not excessively tight around the girth. Use the fixed girth placement straps to further stabilize the pad.
Compatibility:
This general purpose (GP) saddle pad is designed to fit most standard GP saddles. Ensure the size is appropriate for your saddle to avoid bunching or discomfort for the horse.
Care:
Due to the velvet material, spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended for minor marks. For deeper cleaning, hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the velvet nap and quilting. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry.
