Grandeur Tomentum Dressage Bareback Pad, Pressure-Relieving Lambskin Dressage Bareback Pad
The Grandeur Tomentum Dressage bareback pad, like the other Grandeur Tomentum Fellsattels, features a chamber construction with multiple inserts for proper spine freedom and pressure distribution. Among these multiple layers of inserts is also a plastic plate to further enhance pressure distribution. The dressage model has an extra knee roll to support the dressage posture on the sweat flap, which the Baroque and Basic models do not have. The Endurance/Western model has no sweat flap at all. The seat is made of genuine lambskin. You will find a drawing showing how the bareback pad is constructed in the images.

Maintenance and use of lambskin bareback pad:
To protect your bareback pad from dirt, it is advisable to use a pad under the bareback pad. Or preferably even a pad with inserts if your horse has a prominent spine or if you intend to use the bareback pad intensively. The underside of the bareback pad can hardly be washed, so this is really advisable. You can brush and vacuum it to remove dust. The lambskin seat is removable and can be washed with lambskin detergent, centrifuge maximum 400 times, and let it dry slowly.
