Can I use this saddlecloth with any saddle?

It is compatible with most saddles. However, ensure that your saddle has adequate clearance to accommodate the extra layers. If unsure, check with a saddle fitter.

How often should I adjust the shims?

Adjust the shims as your horse's shape changes or as needed to maintain a proper fit.

What is ULTRA DRI ZONE lining?
