VIP Saddle Pad
VIP Original™ range has been designed using VEteq™ to provide the best impact protection for you and your horse. They are uniquely designed to be a high performance everyday saddle pad.
The Very Important Pad (VIP) is a half pad made with VEteq™, a proprietary viscoelastic polymer. This polymer has been used for over 50 years in human medical settings in the prevention and treatment of pressure sores and ulcers in human patients. The impact protection of this proprietary polymer behaves like fat and skin and doesn’t leak or bottom out under pressure, providing a superior layer of cushioning to the horse’s back.
Each pad is slimline and designed not to alter saddle fit.
The Large VIP is designed to fit all types of horses and all styles of saddles up to 18”, including side saddles.
The XLW is perfect for Western saddle and English style over 18' . We also recommend using the XLW when using the pad directly on the horse's back.
The gold VIP is slightly translucent and subtly adopts the colour tones of the saddle cloth underneath it. This makes it an excellent choice for brown saddles and either dark or light saddle cloths.
Actual colour may vary - Although we have tried our best to make these images true to colour, colour display may vary between devices.
Choose to place pad directly on your horse's back, then saddle cloth, then saddle or place on saddle pad. Let your horse decide!
