FAQs
How does this numnah compare to real sheepskin?
The ARMA SupaFleece numnah offers a similar aesthetic and protective quality to real sheepskin but is made from synthetic fleece. It is significantly easier to wash, dries faster, and is generally more durable and less prone to damage from sweat and dirt.
Can I use this numnah with any saddle?
Yes, this numnah is designed for general use and fits most standard saddles. The retaining straps help secure it in place.
How often should I wash the numnah?
It is recommended to wash the numnah after every few uses, or when it appears dirty, to maintain hygiene and the condition of the material. Frequent washing is possible due to its easy-care nature.
What temperature should I use for washing?
Machine wash on a cool or warm cycle, ideally 30°C (86°F). Avoid hot water, as it can damage the synthetic fibers.
Can I put the numnah in a tumble dryer?
No, do not tumble dry. High heat can damage the synthetic fleece. Always air dry the numnah away from direct heat sources.
What kind of detergent should I use?
Use a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners or harsh chemicals, as they can degrade the material over time.
What does 'numnah' mean?
A numnah is a shaped pad that is placed under a saddle to improve fit, absorb shock, and protect the horse's back from friction.
Troubleshooting
Numnah slipping during use
Ensure all retaining straps (saddle and girth) are securely fastened and adjusted correctly. Check that the saddle is fitting the horse properly, as a poorly fitting saddle can cause slippage.
Material looking matted or clumpy after washing
Ensure you are using a mild, non-biological detergent and washing on a cool cycle. Avoid high heat drying; air dry only. Gentle brushing after drying can help restore the fleece texture.
Strap adhesion weakening
Clean the touch-close strap surfaces periodically with a damp cloth to remove any debris that may be preventing proper adhesion. Ensure the numnah is fully dry before use after washing.
