Replaceable, wear and tear-resistant, and durable – the upper shell protects the rest of the layers from external factors and prevents the Saddle Half Pad from moving and slipping underneath the saddle.
This modern material is used to increase the surface of the saddle in contact with the horse’s back and thereby stabilizes the saddle.This layer helps to compensate for the horse’s body structure when the saddle does not fit properly.
This non-Newtonian material used in modern military industries is highly flexible and offers a substantial ability to store and absorb kinetic energy.It is used to capture excess energy generated while riding.
The synthetic biomechanical connective tissue designed to protect the muscles under the pad reduces the forces acting on the muscles along the horse’s back and to facilitate their loosening and development.
This layer has been designed to make the Back Protect Solution Saddle Half Pad stay firmly on the saddle cloth preventing the saddle from slipping.The porous structure of the Kevlar mesh ensures that the system of absorbers is supplied with fresh air protecting it against moisture.
We present a video of our laboratory tests on Winderen Back Protect Solution half pads, demonstrating that their efficiency in terms of distribution and energy absorption is much greater than that of traditional solutions such as sheepskin pads or gel pads.
COMFORT
Replaceable Upper Shell By introducing a system of replaceable covers in different colours, you can use the same Winderen Saddle Half Pad both for training sessions and competitions while being sure it always looks best.
Cut-open Withers The Back Protect Solution Saddle Half Pad has been designed to provide a maximum comfort, to allow free movement and to reduce the pressure on the spinous processes of the spine.
Saddle Half Pad “Correction”
The Correction version of the Winderen Back Protect Solution saddle half pad is based on the Comfort, Slim or Super Slim version. However, in this case, special pockets on the foam inserts’ covers and a half pad cover with an elastic band allow the rider to add felt inserts to correct the balance of the saddle.
This Winderen saddle half pad has six pockets for felt inserts (in contrast to conventional half pads’ four). It was designed in consultation with physiotherapists and veterinarians to match the natural lines of the horse’s back muscles. The use of six pockets for correction inserts (three on each side) allows a smooth and precise arrangement of the necessary correction. When you need a really large correction, for example 9 mm / 0.35”, you can use a smaller number of inserts in the middle part of the pad: for example, 4 mm / 0.16” to form a gentle wedge, not a sharp drop.
The middle panel helps to correct the position and adherence of the saddle in relation to the back, for example for horses with topline syndrome. Also, it helps in situations where disturbing “dry spots” are observed on the horse’s back or saddle pad after training – a clear signal that the saddle does not fit the entire surface of the horse’s back, but only parts of the front and back, creating a risky pressure. By using felt pads of different thicknesses, you can freely make corrections of between 2 mm / 0.08” to 9 mm / 0.35”.
Inserts with 6 pockets
More precise fit to the horse’s muscles. The shape of the panels was created in consultation with veterinarians and physiotherapists to perfectly adapt to the horse’s back line.
The middle panel helps to correct the position and adherence of the saddle to the back of horses with hollowed back lines.
Cover Pad “Correction”
The Correction Pad comes with a cover with an elastic band that perfectly fits the inserts.
No matter which configuration of the pads you choose, the panels are always in an optimal and stable position.
Correction Panels “Felt”
The set includes panels in three thicknesses: 2 mm / 0.08”, 3 mm / 0.12” and 4 mm / 0.16”.
It allows you to adjust the pad up to 9 mm / 0.35” and makes it possible to regulate the desired correction in the range from 2 mm / 0.08” to 9 mm / 0.35” on both sides.
Easy to MaintainThe dirt resistance of the upper shell makes the pad easy to maintain. You can clean it with a moistened sponge or wash it (after removing the inside layers) at a temperature of 30˚C.
Sizes of Your ChoiceWithin our selection of sizes you can choose a matching pad that perfectly fits your saddle.
Saddle Half Pad “Correction”
The “Correction” version of Winderen’s Saddle Half Pad has a special cover that ensures the perfect fit regardless of the number of inserts used. No matter which configuration you choose its, panels remain stable and in an optimal position.
