Saddle Flocking Top-Up
Saddle Flocking Top-Up for Prestige Italia and Renaissance
Download the service form (in Polish)
A saddle flocking top-up at Equishop Service Centre adds wool where it is needed, replaces compacted sections and levels both panels. Wool-flocked panels change with use: the wool adapts to asymmetries in horse and rider and can shift or compress, leaving the saddle uneven. This service is for wool-flocked saddles only and does not include latex panels. Work is carried out at Equishop Service Centre, ul. Oświęcimska 9, Ruda Śląska, Poland.
Turnaround: within 48 hours of your saddle arriving at Equishop Service Centre.

Who is this service for?
- Regularly used saddles where the wool has shifted or compressed and the panels have lost their even shape.
- Riders noticing asymmetry: the saddle slips to one side, or one panel feels harder, lower or uneven.
- Horses whose shape or way of going has changed while the wool still reflects an earlier asymmetry.
Safety and saddle fit
A flocking top-up does not replace an assessment by a saddle fitter. We add only as much wool as the panel construction allows. Excessive filling can compromise contact, so we do not add wool as a precaution. If the filling is compacted throughout the panels, we will recommend more extensive work. This service is not available for latex- or foam-filled panels.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a flocking top-up take?
Within 48 hours of your saddle arriving at Equishop Service Centre. Transit time in each direction is additional.
What is a saddle flocking top-up?
We add wool where it is lacking, replace compacted sections and level both panels, restoring their even shape and symmetry.
Why does the wool shift and compact?
The panels move with horse and rider. Wool adapts to their asymmetries and gradually shifts or compresses, so it periodically needs topping up and levelling.
Which saddles can you work on?
Wool-flocked Prestige Italia and Renaissance saddles. Latex and foam panels are excluded.
How does a top-up differ from half flocking?
A top-up adds wool where needed, replaces compacted sections and levels the panels. Half flocking removes wool and flattens the middle and rear panel sections.
What signs suggest a top-up may be needed?
The saddle slips to one side, one panel is harder or lower than the other, unevenness can be felt in the panels, or the saddle no longer sits evenly despite no change in the horse.
Does a flocking top-up replace saddle fitting?
No. It adjusts the filling within existing panels and does not replace an assessment by a saddle fitter.
Where is the work carried out?
