The Kentucky Saddlecloth gives lots of room on the withers, important so that it doesn&#8217;t go tight when jumping. This keeps the freedom of movement allowing Geoffry to perform at his best. The fly veil fits perfectly on my 16h TBxWB. It didn&#8217;t feel like it was too tight or restricted him from moving his ears and they didn&#8217;t slip out from under the bridle, even after being worn for the whole day at our one-day event.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#e0b57c\">How did you test the product?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&#8220;I used the Saddlecloth and Fly Veil for my Showjumping lessons and Cross-Country clinics we attended. I also had an Eventing competition that I used them both for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"> I think the Eventing competition was a good test for both products, to see how they would cope being used for all three phases.&nbsp; In the Cross-Country he got very sweaty, but neither of the products rubbed him. Also, the Saddlecloth does have the ventilation hole to help to avoid the muscles overheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I feel as though both products are hardwearing and will endure everyday use.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#e0b57c\">What was your favourite feature?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&#8220;My favourite feature on the Saddlecloth is the micro-fibre material with the ventilation holes. They make the Saddlecloth breathable, keeping Geoffrey comfortable when competing and wearing it for long periods of time. With the Fly Veil, I like that it is smart enough to be able to wear it on its own and can be used for dressage competitions. Even after washing both products, they didn&#8217;t fade and came up gorgeous every time.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#e0b57c\">Any other comments? &nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&#8220;I would highly recommend these two products to people wanting a smart set. I am really impressed with the overall design, and will keep using both of them when I go to competitions as I think they look super smart.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/09\/Laydown-Sized-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"6328\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/09\/Laydown-Sized.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/?attachment_id=6328\" class=\"wp-image-6328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/09\/Laydown-Sized-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/09\/Laydown-Sized-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/09\/Laydown-Sized-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/09\/Laydown-Sized-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/09\/Laydown-Sized-370x370.jpg 370w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/09\/Laydown-Sized.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/09\/Jumping-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"6329\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/09\/Jumping-1.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/?attachment_id=6329\" class=\"wp-image-6329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/09\/Jumping-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/09\/Jumping-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/09\/Jumping-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/09\/Jumping-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/09\/Jumping-1-370x370.jpg 370w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/09\/Jumping-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n<div style=\"gap: 20px;\" class=\"align-button-center ub-buttons orientation-button-row ub-flex-wrap wp-block-ub-button\" id=\"ub-button-3a3cfc53-6863-4873-a0c7-e01a61dcb0ce\"><div class=\"ub-button-container\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.redpostequestrian.co.uk\/saddlery-tack\/numnahs-saddlecloths\/kentucky-leather-fishbone-jumping-saddlecloth--navy__213417-tack\/bits\/bombers-lock-up-loose-ring-bit__189536\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"ub-button-block-main   ub-button-flex\" role=\"button\" style=\"--ub-button-background-color: #3b3b3b;
