FAQs

Can I use this saddle cloth for dressage?

This specific model is the Pony GP (General Purpose) version. While it can be used for general training, dressage-specific saddles may require a different cut.

Is the yellow color prone to fading?

The material is durable, but to maintain the bright yellow color, avoid using harsh detergents and wash on a delicate, cool cycle.

What is the primary material?

The saddle cloth is made from durable, breathable polyester.

Does it need to be air dried?

It is suitable for the dryer, but air drying is suggested to ensure the foam padding maintains its shape over the long term.

Why must I close the touch-close fasteners before washing?

If left open, the hook-and-loop fasteners can snag on the fabric of the saddle cloth or other items in the machine, causing pulls or tears.

Troubleshooting

Saddle cloth slides during a ride

Ensure the girth keepers are correctly threaded through the saddle straps and that the girth is tightened sufficiently to hold the cloth against the saddle panel.

Fabric appears worn near the girth straps

Check that the saddle is properly positioned and that the strap pressure is distributed evenly; the reinforced area is designed to withstand normal wear, but excessive friction may indicate a fit issue with the saddle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture-wicking and breathability
  • Effective cushioning via foam and wadding
  • Reinforced stress points for durability
  • Secure fit with integrated girth keepers

Cons

  • Light yellow color shows dirt easily
  • Requires delicate wash setting
  • Specific to pony GP sizing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, align the saddle cloth spine with the horse's wither and ensure the girth keepers are securely fastened through the saddle straps. This product is sized specifically for Pony GP saddles.

Care Instructions:

  1. Always close all touch-close (velcro) fastenings before putting the item in the washing machine to prevent damage to the fabric.
  2. Wash at a maximum temperature of 30 degrees Celsius.
  3. Use a delicate cycle to preserve the integrity of the foam and wadding.
  4. The item is suitable for tumble drying, though air drying is recommended to extend the life of the materials.
