FAQs
What makes this saddlecloth breathable?
The saddlecloth features a 3D Airmesh fabric on the exterior, which is specifically designed to promote significant air circulation, helping to keep the horse cool and comfortable by allowing heat and moisture to escape.
Is this saddlecloth suitable for very long rides?
It is designed for everyday use and medium-distance rides. The half-lining with fleece and foam offers good cushioning, but for extremely long endurance rides, riders may wish to add a full saddle pad for extra protection.
How do I wash the Performance Half Lined Horse Saddlecloth?
It is machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius with a mild detergent. Ensure the touch-and-close fasteners are secured before washing, and always air dry it afterwards.
What is the purpose of the grab strap?
The grab strap is an integrated feature that provides an additional point of contact for the rider's hand, offering increased security, especially during challenging riding conditions or for less experienced riders.
Can this saddlecloth be used with any type of saddle?
This saddlecloth is designed for compatibility with most standard English saddles. Its half-lined design is particularly suited for disciplines where a precise saddle fit is important.
What material is the saddlecloth made of?
The main body of the saddlecloth is made from durable 100% Polyester, with a 3D Airmesh fabric for breathability and a Fleece lining.
Troubleshooting
Saddlecloth slips during use.
Ensure the horse's back is clean and dry. Check that the touch-and-close fasteners are securely fastened and that the saddle is properly fitted and girthed.
Horse appears uncomfortable or is showing signs of soreness.
Verify the saddlecloth is positioned correctly without wrinkles. Check the saddle fit and consider if additional padding is needed for longer rides, as this is a half-lined saddlecloth.
Fleece lining collects excessive dirt or hair.
Brush off loose debris before washing. Follow care instructions for machine washing at 30 degrees Celsius. Air dry completely.
Touch-and-close fasteners lose their grip.
Clean the hook and loop surfaces gently with a small brush to remove trapped debris. Ensure fasteners are secured before washing.
