Equitex saddle pads represent the pinnacle of equine back protection, combining meticulous craftsmanship with rigorous scientific research. Through advanced pressure distribution, superior shock absorption, and effective temperature regulation, Equitex pads offer unparalleled support and comfort for your horse. These results are backed by extensive testing, making Equitex the trusted choice for riders who prioritise their horse's well-being.

Striking the Perfect Balance: Optimal Grip for Comfort and Control

This graph showcases the grip performance of various saddle pads, measured in kilograms. Equitex ranks in the moderate grip category with 2.3 kg, providing a secure yet flexible hold. The results demonstrate that Equitex delivers the perfect balance of grip without restricting movement, unlike higher-grip options like LeMieux X-Grip, which can limit natural motion.

Maximising Comfort: Superior Contact Area for Unmatched Protection

This graph compares the contact area of various saddle pads under a 15 kg static test. Equitex leads the pack with a significantly higher contact area of 198.3 cm², providing optimal pressure distribution across the horse's back. This larger contact surface ensures greater comfort and minimises the risk of pressure points, outperforming competitors like Winderen and LeMieux.

Minimising Pressure: Unrivalled Back Protection for Your Horse

This graph presents the mean pressure results from a 15 kg static test, with Equitex showing the lowest pressure at just 4.7 kPa. This superior performance demonstrates how Equitex pads excel in reducing pressure on the horse's back, significantly outperforming alternatives like Prolite and Thinline, which show much higher pressure levels. Equitex ensures your horse remains comfortable and protected, minimising the risk of pressure-related injuries.

Dynamic Pressure Protection: Leading in Motion Comfort

This graph illustrates the mean pressure under dynamic conditions, showing that Equitex maintains the lowest pressure at 7.0 kPa during movement. The data highlights the effectiveness of Equitex in reducing pressure even under active conditions, ensuring your horse remains comfortable and protected while in motion. Competitors like Thinline and Prolite show significantly higher pressure, making Equitex the clear choice for dynamic back protection.
