Product Information

Full details

This LeMieux 3D Mesh Self-Cool Dressage Square in Black is engineered for horse owners seeking superior temperature regulation during warmer weather. Its key benefit is advanced cooling technology that activates with moisture, ensuring your horse remains comfortable and performs optimally. A potential caveat is that its advanced features are primarily beneficial in hot conditions, making it less essential for cooler climates. This saddle pad utilizes a 3D mesh upper, perforated foam inner, and a unique 'Feel Cool' lining with moisture-activated crystals to promote exceptional airflow and actively draw heat away from the horse's skin.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

How does the 'Feel Cool' technology work?

The 'Feel Cool' lining fabric is woven with special cooling crystals. When activated by moisture (sweat), these crystals absorb heat from the horse's skin and help expel it through the breathable fabric weave. The more the horse sweats, the more effectively the cooling works.

Is this pad suitable for all weather conditions?

This pad is engineered for warmer weather and intense exercise where temperature regulation is critical. While it provides airflow in cooler conditions, its advanced cooling features are most beneficial in hot temperatures.

Can I use this pad with any saddle?

The pad has a specific dressage cut, meaning it is optimally designed for dressage saddles. While it may fit on other saddle types, its shape and function are best suited for dressage.

How often should I wash the saddle pad?

Wash the pad as needed, typically after use in warm weather or when it appears soiled. Following the recommended machine washing instructions will help maintain its effectiveness and longevity.

What is the benefit of the flexible mesh spine?

The flexible mesh spine is designed to reduce direct pressure on the horse's withers and spine. It also helps to maintain an air gap, optimizing airflow through the saddle channel, which aids in cooling the horse's back.

Can the cooling effect be washed out?

No, the 'Feel Cool' technology is integrated into the fabric weave and is designed to be durable. Proper washing according to the care instructions will not diminish the cooling capabilities.

How does the 3D mesh upper contribute to cooling?

The 3D mesh upper creates a layer of air between the saddle and the horse's back, facilitating continuous airflow. This structure allows trapped heat to escape and draws in cooler ambient air, enhancing overall ventilation.

Troubleshooting

Pad feels warm to the touch

This is normal, especially during and immediately after exercise in warm weather, as the 'Feel Cool' lining is actively working to dissipate heat. Allow the pad to cool down naturally after use.

Reduced cooling effect

Ensure the horse is sweating sufficiently to activate the 'Feel Cool' crystals. The pad's cooling is most effective when the horse is working hard in warm conditions. Check that the pad is clean and free from debris that could impede airflow.

Pilling or wear on the lining

Follow care instructions strictly. Washing in a bag and avoiding abrasive contact during washing and drying can help prevent this. Minor pilling may not significantly affect performance but should be monitored.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides superior cooling for horses in hot weather.
  • Advanced moisture-activated technology enhances cooling during exercise.
  • Reduces pressure points on the horse's back and withers.
  • Promotes excellent airflow to prevent heat buildup.
  • Durable construction suitable for training and competition.

Cons

  • Cooling effect is most pronounced in hot conditions; may be overkill in cooler weather.
  • Requires moisture to fully activate the 'Feel Cool' lining.
  • Specific dressage cut may not suit other saddle types.
  • Requires specific care to maintain material integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This dressage square is designed to fit directly under a dressage saddle. Ensure it is placed smoothly against the horse's back, with no wrinkles, to maximize comfort and airflow. The flexible spine should naturally sit clear of the saddle's gullet.

Compatibility: The dressage cut is optimized for dressage saddles. While it can technically be used with other saddle types, its shape is most effective with those designed for dressage.

Care Instructions:

  1. Machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius (gentle cycle).
  2. Wash in a wash bag to protect the fabric and fixings.
  3. Can be air-dried or tumble-dried on a low heat setting.
  4. Do not use harsh detergents or bleach.
  5. Ensure the pad is completely dry before use or storage.
