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.
