Instructions
Treed Saddles:
The pad has to be cool (room temperature) to get started.
Make sure that the Impression Pad is placed very evenly underneath your saddle and that the "dough" is spread very evenly. It is easier to roll out the dough when it is warm. For example wrap it in a warm towel. Do not microwave!!! Roll it with a rolling pin from every side for best results. Sometimes there are some folds, that is ok as long as the dough is spread out.
You can gently pull up the pad a little bit in the front for wither clearance.
You can use a very thin baby saddle pad that can be taped to the impression pad if you fear slippage.
Make sure that the outside temperature is between about 42-82 F.
Mount from a mounting block with someone holding lightly against the saddle from the other side.
Ride for at least 20-30 minutes in all gaits. Avoid riding small circles and do not jump.
When finished riding, carefully lift up the Impression Pad from your horses back and place it on a flat surface. Do not leave it out in the sun or hot weather.
When you are ready to view your test results place the Impression Pad on your cars outside windshield, step inside your car and take a look-or take pictures (some windshields are very steep, you may have to use some tape on the top end).
Treeless Saddles
Same as above except:
Put your Impression Pad underneath the saddle pad that you will use for your treeless saddle. Since your treeless pad is a most important component to your treeless saddle, it just makes sense to measure the pressure in combination with it. You can tape the Impression Pad to your saddle pad if you fear slippage.
Be Safe and try out your pad in an enclosed area/arena
Care Instructions
Store the Impression Pad at room temperature, do not let it freeze! That could potentially ruin the pad.
