Product Information
Full details
The Arma Dressage Saddlecloth is designed for dressage riders who prioritize horse comfort and equipment stability during daily schooling or formal competitions. Its primary benefit is the specialized ULTRA DRI ZONE lining that excels at moisture management, keeping the horse cool and reducing friction; however, users should note that the suede-soft top layer requires careful handling to maintain its vibrant appearance and texture over time.

FAQs
Is this saddlecloth suitable for jumping saddles?
No, this is specifically cut for dressage saddles with a longer, deeper shape.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to air dry the saddlecloth to prevent potential shrinkage and maintain the material quality.
What size horse is the 17-18 inch measurement for?
This measurement refers to the saddle size it is intended to accommodate, typically fitting standard horse-sized dressage saddles.
Does the suede material attract hay and dust?
Like many suede-finish fabrics, it may pick up debris, but it is easily cleaned with a light brushing.
Can I use bleach to keep the raspberry color vibrant?
No, do not use bleach as it will damage the fabric fibers and cause the vibrant color to fade or streak.
Troubleshooting
Saddlecloth slipping back during ride
Ensure the touch-close D-ring straps are fastened securely to the saddle's D-rings before mounting.
Lining loses moisture-wicking efficiency
Check if fabric softener was used during washing; avoid all softeners to maintain the integrity of the moisture-wicking fibers.
Suede surface looking dull
Gently brush the fabric with a soft-bristled brush once dry to lift the nap and restore the texture.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent moisture-wicking properties
- Anatomical shape prevents wither pressure
- Secure fit via D-ring attachments
- Durable reinforced girth guards
- Sophisticated suede-like appearance
Cons
- Suede surface can show dirt more easily than cotton
- Limited to dressage-specific cut
- Requires proper machine wash cycles to maintain soft texture
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the saddlecloth, align the wither contour with your saddle's gullet to ensure proper clearance. Secure the touch-close straps to your saddle's D-rings before fastening the girth through the reinforced guards. For maintenance, machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impede the wicking capabilities of the lining. Always air dry the saddlecloth to preserve the shape and the soft finish of the top layer.
