#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#This is why I have always used saddle blankets for under my pads. They protect the pads, and they can be washed easily in an old washer, or by hand. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I've never understood why more western riders don't use saddle blankets under their saddle pads? They are not expensive..(of course you can find ones that are quite expensive), but the thin ones, which are meant for under a saddle pad, are quite inexpensive.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#As for washing the pad, that won't really be necessary if you protect it using a saddle blanket. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Once a month I take a stiff dandy brush and brush the underside of the pad, this gets rid of any sweat that may have found it's way onto the pad, I do the same with the top, as well. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
