LeMieux Suede Close Contact Square - Pink

No, this saddle pad is specifically designed for forward-cut jumping saddles. It may not provide the optimal fit for other saddle types.

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a high detergent liquid, inside out with similar colors. Air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry or bleach.

The bamboo blend lining is breathable, manages moisture effectively, dries quickly, and offers natural antibacterial and anti-static properties, providing comfort against sensitive skin.

While designed for jumping, its durable suede-effect upper and comfortable lining make it suitable for regular training and schooling sessions where a close contact fit is desired.

The high-wither cut provides increased clearance over the horse's wither, reducing pressure and preventing discomfort or injury in that sensitive area.

'Close contact' refers to a saddle pad designed to be slim and allow the rider to feel closer to the horse's back, enhancing communication and feel. This pad is shaped to facilitate that close feel, especially with forward-cut saddles.

Ensure the saddle pad is correctly positioned for your saddle type (forward-cut) and that the girth and girth loops are securely fastened. Check that the horse's back is clean and dry before tacking up.

Verify the saddle fit itself is correct. Ensure the saddle pad is the appropriate size and that the bamboo lining is clean. Confirm the friction-free binding is not being obstructed.

This is uncommon due to the bamboo lining's properties. Ensure the pad is not excessively thick and that there are no underlying issues with moisture management from the horse or saddle. Proper air drying after washing is crucial.
