FAQs
Is this pad suitable for sensitive-skinned horses?
Yes, the bamboo blend lining is specifically designed to be soft, anti-static, and low-friction, making it ideal for sensitive horses.
Can I use this pad for jumping?
The GP (General Purpose) cut is designed for all-around use and fits most GP and jump saddles, though it is primarily optimized for schooling.
How should I clean the suede material?
Machine wash on a 30-degree gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid tumble drying to protect the material integrity.
Does this pad come in other colors?
The product range includes various colors, though this specific guide refers to the Brown variant.
What is the benefit of the high-wither shape?
The high-wither shape prevents the saddle pad from putting pressure on the horse's withers, providing more clearance and comfort.
Is the bamboo lining machine washable?
Yes, the bamboo blend is durable and designed for regular machine washing.
Troubleshooting
Pad sliding backward during riding
Ensure the girth straps are correctly passed through the hidden girth loops and tightened evenly.
Binding edge becoming stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a fabric conditioner-free detergent and stretching the pad back to shape while it is still damp.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the high-wither profile is pulled up into the gullet of the saddle during saddling to maintain air flow. The pad is designed for GP (General Purpose) saddles, though it also fits many jump saddles comfortably.
Care instructions are vital for maintaining the quality of the suede effect. It is recommended to machine wash on a 30-degree cycle using a mild, non-biological detergent. Always close all Velcro fasteners before washing to prevent snagging. For best results, stretch the pad back into its original shape while damp and allow it to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the suede material from stiffening.
