Troubleshooting
Saddle still slips slightly despite the anti-slip features.
Ensure the Tech Grip gel surface is clean and free from dirt or hair. Verify that the saddle itself is well-fitted and that the pad is secured snugly using the adjustable straps.
Horse appears uncomfortable or has rubs after use.
Check the saddle fit and the pad's placement. Ensure straps are not overtightened. Clean the girth panel and any affected areas on the horse. Make sure the pad is the correct size for the horse and saddle combination.
Pad does not seem to be breathing well.
Confirm that the Airtechnology sections are not obstructed by other tack. Ensure the perforated fabric is clean and free from debris that could block airflow.
Velcro straps are losing their grip.
Clean the Velcro hook and loop surfaces gently with a stiff brush to remove any debris that might be preventing a strong connection.
