Waldhausen Cotton Saddlecover for Most Saddles
Description
Waldhausen Cotton Saddlecover - Everyday Saddle Protection
The Waldhausen Cotton Saddlecover is a cotton cover that slips over a saddle on its rack to keep dust, hair and yard debris off the leather between rides. It is cut to fit most saddles, so it suits riders with general purpose, jumping or dressage saddles stored in a tack room, horsebox or saddle locker.
It is best for anyone who wants simple, breathable day-to-day protection without straps or fastenings - lift it on after untacking and lift it off when you tack up. Because cotton breathes, air can circulate around the leather instead of moisture being sealed in, which makes it a practical choice for winter storage as well as daily use.

FAQ
Will this cover fit my saddle?
It is cut to fit most saddles, including general purpose, jumping and dressage models. If your saddle is extra large or unusually deep seated, measure from pommel to cantle and across the flaps to judge the coverage before ordering.
What is the cover made from?
Cotton, which is soft against saddle leather and breathable in storage.
Can I leave a damp saddle under the cover?
No. Let the saddle dry naturally in a well-ventilated space first, then cover it, so moisture is not held against the leather.
Is it suitable for travelling with the saddle?
It is designed as a storage cover for a saddle on a rack or in a tack locker rather than a fitted travel cover for a saddle in use.
How do I clean it?
Shake it out regularly to remove hair and dust, and allow it to dry naturally if it becomes damp. Do not dry on a direct heat source.
Does it stop dust and hair getting on the saddle?
Yes, it acts as a barrier against dust, loose hair, straw and splashes while the saddle sits on its rack.
