Usage

• Target Species: Horses

• Application: Used under an English saddle to provide comfort, slight insulation, and aesthetic appeal during schooling, hacking or cold-weather rides.

• Method:

  • Choose the appropriate size (Long or Standard) based on your saddle type and desired fit.

  • Select your preferred colour from Navy, Forest, Black, Red, Royal or Sky Blue.

  • Place the saddlecloth on the horse’s back, centre it beneath the saddle, and secure the girth straps through the loops if provided. Ensure the pad lies flat and is not causing pressure or bunching.

  • After riding, remove the pad, shake off hair, wipe down as necessary, and store dry. Depending on the fill and outer material, some pads may be machine-washable or require gentle cleaning, check care label.

• Frequency: Suitable for every ride where the pad is used; ideal in colder weather or when extra back cushioning is preferred.
