Decreased circulation is only one problem that can be caused by using wrong saddle pads. Check your horse using these simple tests:
Even worse, with riders mounted, saddles ROLL, placing more weight on lower shoulder muscles, which are very large, important muscle groups. This constant stress interferes with proper blood flow and blocks certain reflex centers, causing impaired function. Trying to escape this pressure, horses pull affected shoulders further down. This unnatural motion not only promotes muscle shrinkage, but causes mechanical imbalance, stressing the entire equine body (especially the rear -- again, Hocks, Stifle, and Legs). A stressed, unbalanced horse can no longer be a free flowing, supple mover. It might tire quickly, leads may not come easily, and its attitude could deteriorate. These effects are especially serious in strenuous competitive conditions. Your horse can never reach its full potential, and problems started when that first saddle was cinched on.
Other materials pack, settle, conform to unequal development, then aggravate muscles. Our exclusive material retains its original form, even after thousands of compressions. We've encased ½” of this high impact, energy deflecting material in supple, specially tanned leather, so that everything breathes. This process produces the only saddle pads that can protect any horse's vital systems under all conditions. Think About It. Early fatigue, unexplained body soreness, crankiness, tail wringing, refusals, uneven leads, uneven diagonals, weak behind, (Hocks/Legs again), loss of lateral flexibility, among other problems--- All can be caused by the same muscle stress that causes problems in humans. If you put constant pressure on your own muscles (crossing your legs, resting your arm against the window sill while you're driving, sitting too long), you lose normal blood flow. This loss of flow causes temporary anemia, called ischemia, in muscles. When you try moving them, they tingle, ache, feel "dead." You can't use those muscles until they regain normal circulation ("wake up").
That's why I designed our SaddleRight pad. Our material constantly distributes rider weight away from saddle bars, effectively relieving steady pressure every horse would otherwise suffer. Our pad's high rebound properties guarantee that it will always resume its original shape. SaddleRight guarantees results for life! We guarantee our saddle pad's effectiveness for life! If it doesn't improve your horse's performance within 30 days, return it and get your money back. - Summary - Our goal: providing the best possible saddle pads and prices. Our reputation speaks for itself! We will not sacrifice quality for profit. No other company guarantees their saddle pads effective for LIFE. Ours will NEVER pack down, compress and stop benefiting your horse. It is improving horses' performance all over our world.
