Saddle Pad Care

OHLALA's top tips for caring for your saddle pads:

Machine wash:

• Before putting your saddle pad in the machine, use a soft brush, a curry comb, or ideally a Magic Brush.
• If your saddle pad has beads, plates, or delicate details, turn it inside out and place it in a laundry bag to protect it.
• Use a natural detergent 🧴 (but no fabric softener — to avoid any allergic reaction in our horses!)
• You can also add LeMieux washing balls, which help remove even more hair.
• Set the cycle to a maximum of 30 degrees.
• Do not tumble dry your saddle pad — leave it to air dry naturally.

Hand wash:

• If you prefer, you can also wash your saddle pads by hand! A soft brush, some Marseille soap, a little patience and some elbow grease — and you'll get equally great results.
• Do not tumble dry your saddle pad — leave it to air dry naturally.
