Behind the Matrix

Matrix has developed the base and padding with the best shock absorption in mind. When riding, both horse and rider are exposed to many shocks that propagate through the back - it's extremely stressful. It is to minimize the degree of impact that Matrix has developed (and continues to develop) their underlay and underlay inserts. By minimizing the degree of impact, both the horse's and rider's back can be spared enormously. Riders who suffer from a bad back can benefit greatly from a Matrix pad, while the same goes for horses who are prone to back pain.

When looking for a pad for your horse, Matrix offers a range of shock-absorbing pads to suit your horse's needs. Matrixmakes dressage pads, jumping pads and western pads as well as girth padswith a good pressure-distributing effect that can help prevent girth cramps.

Pro-Impact Protection Insert

Many people benefit from the Pro-Impact insert. This insert consists of a thin layer of Poron XRD and is very light and airy. Poron XRD is a material that can absorb up to 90% of the shocks that horse and rider are exposed to during riding. The Pro-Impact insert is the thinnest of the Matrix inserts and is perfect for the rider who doesn't suffer from back problems, but still wants to get the benefits of Matrix and protect both the horse and human body.

Extreme Pro-Impact Protection Insert

For the equestrian who needs more shock absorption, the Extreme Pro-Impact insert is preferable. Like Pro-Impact , this insert consists of Poron XRD - this insert is only 13 mm and therefore somewhat thicker. Of course, with more shock-absorbing material comes more shock absorption, so this insert can be a great choice for the rider or horse with back pain. Poron XRD gives the horse the freedom to move, but has the technology to protect.

Ortho-Impact Protection Insert

By choosing the Ortho-Impact insert, the shock-absorbing Poron XRD is combined with a layer of visco-elastic memory foam that molds to the horse's back. This layer can compensate for any asymmetry in the horse or saddle, so that the horse is not burdened by this asymmetry, but can work optimally despite it. Ortho the insert provides maximum padding without restricting the horse's freedom of movement.

Flex Form Memory Foam

Matrix also has an insert - Flex Form - that consists entirely of memory foam and effectively shapes itself to the horse's back. Flex Form can be used for all kinds of training and is a great way to add that final touch to the saddle fit. At the same time, it helps the saddle to stay firmly and stably in place.
