I bought a beautiful pale yellow platinum mattes saddles pad yesterday and went on 16 mile fun ride with it. Came home and the dye from my saddle had turned it mahogany coloured!!!!
Washed it straght away on cool wash but stain didnt budge

Any ideas? this is it http://www.numnah.com/product_menu.asp?cid=185

I bought a black one a few months ago and I knew there wass a reason why i bought black.........
 
Stick some milton steriliser in the wash with it

Shouldnt be harsh enough to remove the yellow but maybe remove the saddle stain!!

yeah stained where the saddle is and where the calf of my leg sits from my chaps.
I know it wont look so bad when the saddle is on but it looks awful right now :-(

Lol,but at a £120 plus for a saddle cloth it shouldnt stain like that

it should hold up to the purpose it was designed for...as in once i would like to wash it and use it again without stains
smile.gif
...what you supposed to do??spend £120 everytime it gets stained
shocked.gif

I am argumentative thow and would be giving them rock all about it

Thats really bad luck.... but I would not think that they will be liable for your saddle staining it

Unless it was sold as stain resistant or something similar

Really sad though,.. I hate it when new things get spoiled

Stain devils do good colour removers or I would take it to a dry cleaners they might have a solvent that will remove the stain
 
I bought a black and red one for a white horse - dyed my horses back red when the colour in the fleece ran with his sweat - took 3 months until it aws all gone!! (I have piccies too!)
 
its not really the manufacturers fault if your saddle has stained the product unless it was advertised as stain resistant- the same way it is not the saddle manufacturer's fault the dye ran from the saddle.
 
Try soaking it in persil washing powder in a bowl of hand hot water (when it goes in). Leave it at least two hours and then put it straight in the washing machine (still dripping) and wash as normal with "Vanish" and persil again.

This worked on similar stains on my daughters jodphurs and they came up really well.
 
i bought a brown mattes saddlecloth and girth cover and it dyed my horse brown! When i spoke to them, they said it was the horses sweat that had taken the dye out and sent me a cream to get it out of her coat. They may have a similar product for their saddle cloths if you give them a call.

I have to say, I am not that impressed at the durability of the saddle cloth anyway.....bits of wool keep coming off it, and at £150 for the both, I personally wouldnt expect that to happen!
