My old barrel pad was thin and little, so I washed it in the washing machine.

But the one I have now is thick and long so I would actually hose it out and scrub it with soap, try and ring it out and let it dry in a warm sunny area so it doesn’t rot.

It depends upon the pad. I know the Koolbacks, Woolbacks etc you just throw them in the wash on COLD water and they are GREAT! Your pad may work in the wash but probably can’t put it in the dryer so it’s going to take several days to dry out.

The next time you buy a saddle pad, make sure it’s machine washable. I’ve got one Koolback that’s 34 years old and is still working.

I used to just put in the washing machine and that worked pretty well. But it left the hair all over the machine and my mother wouldn’t let me do it anymore. So I do it during the summer. I take a hose and some Dawn dish soap and a scrub brush and scrub it and then rinse it. That works pretty well and gets the hair out too.
