 PolyPad fitting instructions1) Place saddle over the PolyPad on the horse's back, hold PolyPad at each end of the saddle and pull firmly upwards into the gullet of the saddle to create airflow alond the spine.
2) Lift the saddle flap away from the horse on each side, making sure the horse's coat is laying flat and check that the front edge of the PolyPad is sufficiently forward (10 - 12cm in front of the girth) so the shoulder movement does not pull the PolyPad downwards and backwards.
3) Do the girth up tight enough at this point to ensure the pad cannot move before finally tightening to mount.
4) Filament - The stripe filament is designed to go against the saddle, with the polycotton against the horse.

Leg ProtectorsThese must be fitted from the heel upwards - ensure the straps are fitted snuggly around the pastern and lower leg, with the top straps looser so that hock and knee can flex freely.
They are generously cut, so as a guide Cob Size can be around 15.2hh dependent on build.

Bandage Rappa's©These are most effective put on as a bandage - simply roll up with the hook fixings inside and unroll around the leg. Secure with fixings on outside of leg.

Washing Instructions1) It is preferable to wash PolyPads® before they are first used
2) Machine wash at maximum temperature of 40°C or cold wash
3) Always reshape the fibre filling after washing whilst the PolyPads® are wet by holding the edges of the pad and shaking vigorously, checking that the PolyPad fibres under the polycotton feel flat to the hand.
4) Leave to dry overnight or tumble dry on cool or low temperature.
Important...
Please ensure that washing and drying temperatures are adhered to, because the fullness of the fibre insert and the strength of the binding used in the manufacture of PolyPads® can go brittle and be destroyed by washing and drying at too hot a temperature.
