Troubleshooting

Saddle slipping despite anti-slip gel

Ensure the horse's back is clean and free of grooming products. Verify that the Velcro straps are securely fastened. Check that the saddle and pad dimensions are appropriate for your horse.

Horse appears uncomfortable or rubbed

Re-check the fit of the saddle pad and saddle. Ensure the straps are not overtightened. The soft satin binding is designed to prevent rubbing, so confirm it's lying flat and correctly positioned.

Satin outer loses its sheen after washing

Always wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle and dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid harsh detergents. Consider using a silk or delicate fabric wash.

Pad not wicking moisture effectively

Ensure the wicking fibres are not clogged with dirt or sweat residue. Wash the pad according to care instructions. Check that the Air Tech mesh is clear of debris.
