FAQs
How often should I wash the ARMA SupaFleece Numnah?
It is recommended to wash the numnah after each use, or as needed, to maintain hygiene and performance. Its durable construction and quick-drying properties make frequent washing practical.
Can I use a normal washing powder?
It is best to use a non-biological liquid detergent. Avoid biological powders and fabric conditioners, as these can affect the material's properties.

Is this numnah suitable for sensitive horses?
Yes, the numnah is designed to protect against shock, sores, and chafing, making it suitable for sensitive horses. However, always monitor your horse for any signs of discomfort.
How does this compare to real sheepskin numnahs?
This SupaFleece numnah offers a similar cushioning effect and look to sheepskin but is significantly easier to wash, dries faster, and is generally more durable against repeated washing.
What is the 'elastic insert retaining strap' for?
The elastic insert retaining strap helps to ensure a snug and secure fit, preventing the numnah from shifting during ridden work.
Troubleshooting
Numnah not staying in place
Ensure all touch-close straps are securely fastened and that the girth straps are correctly attached. Check that the elastic insert straps are providing adequate tension.
Stiffness after washing
Ensure no fabric conditioner was used. Air dry thoroughly. Gentle brushing may help restore softness.
Horse appears uncomfortable
Double-check the fit and ensure there are no creases or rubbing points. The numnah should provide cushioning, not add pressure.
