Designed for equine athletes, it utilizes breathable materials and soft padding to protect the horse's back during regular exercise; however, while it is machine washable and dryer-safe, users must be diligent about securing the touch-close fastenings to prevent damage during cleaning cycles.

  • Secure fit due to dedicated girth keepers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the saddle cloth, simply align the spine of the pad with the spine of your horse, ensuring the saddle sits squarely on the cushioned area. Secure the touch-close girth keepers by looping them through the girth straps or girth itself before tightening the saddle.

For care, remove excess hair or debris with a soft brush before washing. To maintain the integrity of the material, machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius. It is critical to ensure all touch-close fastenings are firmly closed before placing the cloth in the machine to prevent them from snagging on the fabric. The item is compatible with tumble drying, though air drying is recommended for long-term fabric preservation.
