Jumping pad with shock absorption, pressure distribution, breathability and style |
On a show jumping course, both horse and rider are exposed to many strong impacts, so it can be a good idea to have a jumping pad with good shock absorption and pressure distribution to protect both horse and rider. You can find such a pad from the exclusive brand Matrix.
With a pressure-distributing saddle pad, the pressure from the saddle and rider will be distributed over as much of the horse's back as possible - relieving stress points on the back where the horse can become sore. In addition to shock absorption and pressure distribution, it is of course also important to have a nice and elegant design that lies well on the horse for maximum freedom of movement.
Breathability is also an important factor in addition to freedom of movement, shock absorption and pressure distribution. When the horse has to perform on a show jumping course with a saddle and rider on its back, it doesn't provide good opportunities for heat and moisture to leave the horse's back. However, by choosing the right surface with good breathability, this can be remedied, allowing the horse to better dissipate heat while riding. This increases comfort, so the horse is more willing to work.
If the saddle doesn't fit properly, it can cause major problems for the horse's back, and it may have trouble building the right muscles and may not use its body optimally when jumping. Some horses need extra help from the saddle pad to ensure the saddle fits properly without restricting the horse's movement. With a correction pad, the horse can help in the best possible way. Correction pads from Matrix can be lifted at the front, middle and back with inserts that can be rotated to lift the saddle where the horse needs the most extra lift.
If you have a sensitive horse, the saddle pad can be a place where you can help the horse a lot, as the horse experiences a lot of impact from the saddle and rider. A good choice for the horse with sensitive skin can be a jumping pad with lambskin or Cool Back. Cool Back is made of orthopaedic fleece, which is gentle on the horse's skin and provides extra pressure distribution.
In addition, shock absorption is an important factor. At Matrix, you can choose between three different types of inserts that have different levels of pressure distribution, shock absorption and memory foam. Shock absorption is not only a huge benefit for the durability of the horse's back - it can also be very beneficial for the rider who suffers from back pain.
