Hi Karla,

I do not have an Equipedic but I do have Woolbaks.  At Convention, one of 
the reps for Woolbak said the biggest mistake people make is not washing 
their pads enough and that the build up of dried sweat from the horse is 
more damaging to the pad than hand washing in Woolite when the pad begins 
to get the proverbial "life of its own".  I got this off the EquiPedic website:

How do you wash the EquiPedic™ saddle pad?
Simply remove the ConforPedic Impact Reduction Material™ inserts from their 
pockets and drop the pad in your home washing machine. Wash with cold water 
on gentle cycle, tumble dry at the lowest setting, and your pad is as clean 
as it was when new! If you want to wash the ConforPedic™  inserts, simply 
soak them in a 10% vinegar and water solution and allow them to air dry.

If the wool on yours is really hard, try soaking in a Woolite solution over 
night and if still stiff, leave another 24 hours and then wash as directed 
above.

I hope this helps.

Diane
