FAQs

How do I wash the LeMieux Cotton Dressage Competition Square?

Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius in a wash bag, with Velcro closed. Pull into shape when wet and air dry. Do not tumble dry.

Can I use this saddle pad for jumping?

While primarily designed for dressage due to its shape and features, it can be used for schooling or light jumping. However, for dedicated jumping disciplines, a saddle pad specifically designed for jumping may offer better performance and protection.

What is the benefit of the bamboo lining?

The bamboo lining provides superior breathability and temperature regulation. It effectively absorbs moisture and manages perspiration, helping to keep your horse cool and minimize chafing.

How many sets of numbers are included?

The saddle pad comes with three complete sets of numbers for each side, ensuring you have spares or can adapt to different competition requirements.

Will the clear pockets damage competition numbers?

The clear pockets are designed to be smooth and protective. They should not damage standard competition numbers when used correctly. Ensure numbers are placed flat within the pockets.

Can I use a half pad with this square?

Yes, the LeMieux Cotton Dressage Competition Square is designed to be compatible with half pads, and it can look particularly stylish when paired with one.

What causes the saddle pad to slip?

Slipping can be caused by incorrect girth tension, a poorly fitting girth or saddle, or sweat buildup. Ensure the girth straps are secure and consider using the internal locking buckles for added stability.

Troubleshooting

Saddle pad slips during riding

Ensure girth straps are securely fastened and consider using the internal locking buckles if available on your model. Check that the girth is appropriate for your horse and saddle.

Horse appears uncomfortable or has rubbed areas

Verify that the saddle pad is correctly positioned and that the high-wither design is providing adequate clearance. Ensure the horse is properly groomed and that the saddle fit is correct. Follow all care instructions to maintain the fabric's integrity.

Competition numbers fall out of pockets

Ensure the clear pockets are fully zipped or secured. Check that the numbers are the correct size for the pockets and are inserted properly to avoid gaps.

  • Secure fit with anti-slip girth strap options.
  • Durable construction suitable for both daily use and competition.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This saddle pad is designed to be used with most standard dressage saddles. Attach the D-ring straps to your saddle's D-rings and secure the girth straps through the girth before fastening your girth. Ensure the number pockets are loaded with your competition numbers before mounting.

Compatibility: The high-wither design is compatible with horses that have a prominent wither. It can be used with or without a half pad, though pairing it with a LeMieux half pad can offer enhanced aesthetic and performance benefits.

Care Instructions:

  1. Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius.
  2. Use a wash bag to protect the fabric and fasten Velcro closures before washing.
  3. Pull the saddle pad into its correct shape while wet.
  4. Air dry away from direct heat sources.
