Product Information
Full details
The LeMieux Suede GP Square is designed for daily riders who prioritize horse comfort and equipment longevity during training. Its standout feature is the moisture-wicking bamboo lining that keeps the horse's back cool and dry, though users should be aware that the suede material requires consistent brushing to maintain its textured aesthetic over time.

FAQs
Is this pad suitable for close-contact saddles?
Yes, the pad is designed to be compatible with most GP and jumping saddles, including close-contact models.
Can I tumble dry this product?
No, tumble drying can damage the fabric and the structural quilt. Always air dry in a well-ventilated area.
How do I ensure the best wither clearance?
When placing the saddle on the horse, pull the pad up into the gullet of the saddle to ensure the high-wither shape is properly positioned.
Does the suede material fade?
Like most high-quality fabrics, exposure to excessive direct sunlight for prolonged periods may cause slight fading. Store in a dark, dry place when not in use.
What is the benefit of the bamboo lining?
Bamboo is naturally antibacterial, incredibly soft, and far more absorbent than traditional cotton linings.
Troubleshooting
Pad slips backward during exercise
Ensure the elasticated D-ring tabs are securely fastened to the saddle hardware and that the girth is adjusted properly through the girth loops.
Suede looks matted or dirty
After washing and drying, use a soft-bristled brush to gently buff the suede in one direction to restore its original nap and appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, position the pad so the high-wither section rests comfortably under the front of the saddle. Secure the elasticated tabs to the saddle D-rings before tightening the girth. For care, machine wash at 30 degrees using a non-biological detergent and air dry; avoid using a tumble dryer to preserve the integrity of the suede and binding. Regularly use a soft brush on the suede surface after it is dry to remove loose hair and dust, keeping the fabric looking fresh for the next ride.
