Choose the Right Saddle Pad to Comfort your Horse

Horses suffer from back pain due to poor selection of saddle pad. Many riders do use any pad because they think it is unnecessary. Whilst few chooses cushion which gets crushed as soon as they ride or the gullet is too thin. Whatever the case is, the pain and pressure for the poor stallion remains the same. In addition, the horse is blamed for poor performance! No more mistreatment. If you love your horse, it’s high time you should change your saddle-pad.



Look the below mentioned points while buying a horse saddle pad, as suggested by physiotherapists –

·         Pressure absorbing cushion to reduce stress from the horse’s back.
·         Should function in a way so that it raises the gullet off the back.
·         Non slippery material which must not slide or slip sideways.
·         A fitting size is a must which sits evenly on the back.
·         Should not be too weighty.
·         Among different types of material, choose vinyl as it is water proof and weather proof.
·         Can be cleaned easily
·         Better deal on price and quality.
·         Resistant to dust and damp and easily storable.

Traditional dressage with air step is the preferred choice for a caring horse owner. However, understanding your animal is the biggest achievement. If you can do that, your half task is done. You have to understand the comforts and discomforts and look after horse’s need from time to time. Remember, when you ride you experience unlimited of joy freedom. Gift the same to your stallion.
