How do I clean the LeMieux Mini Suede Close Contact Square?

It can be machine washed at 30 degrees on a gentle cycle. Wash inside out, close velcro, and air dry. Do not tumble dry.

What is the purpose of the girth keepers?

The girth keepers incorporate inner looped channels to offer more versatile girthing options and help keep the saddle pad securely in place.

How does the high wither cut help?

The high wither cut provides increased clearance and comfort over the pony's wither, reducing the risk of rubbing and pressure points.

Troubleshooting

Saddle pad slips during exercise

Ensure the girth is tightened appropriately and the D-ring tabs are securely fastened. Verify the saddle pad is the correct size for your pony and saddle.

Pony shows signs of skin irritation

Ensure the bamboo lining is clean and free from debris. Check for any potential friction points and ensure the saddle and pad are fitting correctly. Always follow care instructions to maintain the softness of the lining.

Suede-effect material looks matted or dull

After washing and drying, gently brush the suede-effect material with a soft suede brush to restore its texture and appearance. Avoid harsh chemicals or high heat drying.

Girth keepers are not holding securely

Ensure the girth is threaded correctly through the keepers and the inner looped channels if you are using them. Check that the girth itself is in good condition and not overly worn.
