The Woof Wear Close Contact Sheepskin Saddlecloth is an ideal choice for equestrian riders who prioritize both horse comfort and a refined, traditional aesthetic during training or competition. Featuring a genuine Lambswool fleece lining and an anatomic high-wither design, it excels at providing pressure relief and moisture management under the saddle. While it offers superior cushioning and protection, riders should note that the natural sheepskin material requires more diligent cleaning and maintenance compared to standard synthetic or cotton-only pads to keep the fibers soft and effective.

Yes, but use a cycle specifically for wool or a delicate setting with a specialized wool detergent and cool water.
This model is specifically designed for 'Close Contact' saddles, which are typically used for jumping; it may not fit the shape of longer dressage flaps.
Regular brushing after use and careful drying in a well-ventilated area will help keep the fleece soft and prevent it from becoming brittle.
The ballistic nylon is a heavy-duty fabric used to protect the saddlecloth from the constant rubbing of the girth, significantly increasing the product's lifespan.
No, sheepskin is naturally breathable and helps regulate temperature by wicking moisture away from the horse's skin.
This particular model is a 'Full Size', designed to accommodate standard horse breeds effectively.
Ensure the D-Ring straps are securely fastened and check that the girth is tight enough to hold the pad in the correct position.
Use a specialized sheepskin brush to gently tease out the fibers after the pad has dried to restore loft and comfort.
Verify that the saddlecloth is pulled well into the gullet of the saddle before tightening the girth, ensuring the sheepskin is not bunched.
To set up the saddlecloth, first align the high-wither cut with your horse's wither, pulling the pad slightly up into the saddle gullet to ensure clearance. Attach the easy-fit D-Ring straps before tightening the girth. Thread your girth straps through the separation loops for extra stability. When caring for this item, use a gentle wool-safe detergent. Avoid high heat during washing or drying, as this can cause the leather or sheepskin fibers to shrink or harden. It is recommended to air dry the saddlecloth away from direct sunlight or heat sources to maintain the integrity of the sheepskin.
