Looking after your saddle pad or numnah properly is key to ensuring it stays comfortable, effective, and long-lasting. While wool products can sometimes seem high maintenance at first glance, they are surprisingly easy to care for, and incredibly durable when treated correctly.
Here’s everything you need to know about caring for your wool-lined NuuMed saddle pad or numnah.
Don’t Be Put Off by Wool
Wool often has a reputation for being delicate or difficult to maintain, but in reality, it’s one of the most practical materials you can choose. Its natural strength and resilience make it ideal for everyday use, even under the demands of regular riding.
Simple Washing Routine
Keeping your saddle pad or numnah clean is straightforward. A gentle wash at 30°C is all it takes to maintain the softness and performance of the wool lining. Using a mild detergent and a gentle cycle will help preserve the natural fibres and keep the material feeling supple against your horse’s back.
Durable and Hard-Wearing
Despite its soft and luxurious feel, wool is incredibly tough. It holds its shape well and stands up to repeated use, making it a reliable choice for riders who want both comfort and longevity from their equipment.
Keep It Performing at Its Best
Regular, gentle care not only keeps your saddle pad looking its best but also ensures it continues to provide all the benefits wool is known for; breathability, moisture-wicking, and cushioning.
With just a little attention, your NuuMed saddle pad or numnah will remain a dependable part of your horsewear for years to come, proving that wool is not only beautiful, but brilliantly practical too.
