Product Information
Full details
The ARMA Branded Dressage Saddlecloth is designed for equestrian riders seeking a professional, high-performance aesthetic for both competition and daily training. Its standout benefit is the combination of a breathable stay-smart anti-pill outer layer and an ULTRA DRI ZONE lining that excels at moisture management to prevent skin irritation. While it offers excellent functionality and a contoured fit, riders should note that the white fabric requires careful maintenance to stay pristine against the inevitable dust of the stable environment.

FAQs
Is this saddlecloth suitable for jumping saddles?
No, it is cut specifically for the geometry of dressage saddles and will not align correctly with the shorter, forward flaps of a jumping saddle.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to air dry the saddlecloth to preserve the shape and the integrity of the technical lining.
What is the purpose of the anti-pill fabric?
The anti-pill outer layer is designed to prevent small balls of fiber from forming on the surface, keeping the saddlecloth looking professional and neat.
Does this provide extra padding?
The ARMA saddlecloth provides a comfortable layer, but it is not a thick corrective pad; it is designed to wick moisture and offer protection against friction.
How often should I wash it?
For optimal performance, wash it whenever you notice sweat accumulation or surface dirt to ensure the moisture-wicking fibers remain clear of debris.
Troubleshooting
Saddlecloth sliding backward during ride
Check that the elasticated D-ring straps are securely fastened and that the girth is passed through all provided girth guides.
Stains not coming out after washing
Pre-treat the affected area with a specialized equine-safe stain remover before placing the saddlecloth in the machine.
Lining feels rough or matted
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can coat the moisture-wicking fibers and reduce their effectiveness.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent moisture-wicking properties for horse comfort
- Professional, clean aesthetic suitable for dressage competitions
- Contoured design prevents wither rubbing
- Durable anti-pill material construction
- Secure fit with integrated D-ring and girth guides
Cons
- White color shows dirt and stains more easily than darker colors
- Requires frequent washing to maintain competition-grade brightness
- Limited to dressage-specific saddle shapes
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: align the contoured wither profile with your horse's wither and pull the pad slightly up into the saddle gullet to ensure air flow. Secure the hook-and-loop D-ring straps to the saddle rings and thread the girth through the reinforced guards.
Compatibility is tailored specifically for dressage saddles, which feature longer, straighter flaps. Using this pad with a jumping saddle may result in the pad protruding significantly below the flap. To clean, use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and ensure the saddlecloth is fully dry before storing to prevent mold or discoloration of the white fabric. Avoid using heavy bleach, as it may degrade the technical lining fibers.
