product description
Multifunctional Cushioning Pad
Our main focus is, of course, the horse's hoof and it's ideal hoof protection – but we also want to keep riders, horse owners and farriers in mind.
That's why, in addition to professional farrier tools, you'll also find products for riders to use in everyday stable life – and of course, our promotional items. With the multifunctional padding material, we've added a new product that's not primarily designed for the horse's hoof, but rather to make working with and around the horse more comfortable for erverybody involved.
And when we talk about a 'multifunctional' product, we mean it – whether as a seat cushion pad in the stable aisle or on trail rides, as a kneeling pad during hoof trimming or daily hoof care, or even as a partial dampening / cushioning pad, under the saddle or lunging girth just to name a few of the possible uses of this versatile pad.
Key Features of the Cushioning Pad
The cushioning pad is made from expanded thermoplastic polyurethane (eTPU) . During the manufacturing process, pre-foamed particles are molded together. BASF's brand name for this material is Infinergy®. According to the German BASF website, it stands for unlimited possibilities. The material has been used since 2013, among other things, as sole material in athletic shoes, its range of applications has since expanded in all directions - to bicycle saddles and sports flooring. The material is elastic and highly resistant to wear, making the pads durable even in everyday stable use.
The most important feature of the pad is its excellent cushioning and strong memory effect . Once the pressure is released, the material returns to its original shape. How quickly and effectively this happens depends on the intensity and duration of use - for example, how long someone has been sitting on the pad.
You can choose between two material thicknesses - 10mm and 20mm and three different pad dimensions: S, M, and L. If you still need to manually adjust the pad, for example to cushion a specific area under the saddle or lunging girth, you can use leather shears, from ICAR for example.
Dimensions
Please note that cutting smaller sizes from the L-size pad may result in slight variations in dimensions. To keep the price as low as possible for you, we use the simplest cutting method available - because we believe that with a kneeling or seat pad, intended for use in the riding stable, functionality comes first.
- Pad size S: approximately 19.5 cm x 30 cm
- Pad size M: approximately 30 cm x 39.5 cm
- Pad size L: approximately 40 cm x 58.5 cm
Cleaning the Pad
Finally, we'd like to mention that the pad is washable; however, we recommend avoiding harsh cleaning agents, as the material's reaction to various ingredients cannot be predicted. The same applies when using hoof care products.
