If you wish to purchase the item outright then please visit the correct page here!The VIP (Very Important Pad) Original Gel Pad is the ultimate impact and pressure-relieving saddle pad for horses! These pads are truly unique, crafted from Akton Polymer, which provides a superior textured structure that gives high tensile strength, the key to maintaining shape under extreme and prolonged compression. These pads are soft, flexible and seamless with no pressure causing trims.
Extremely thin (only 8mm thick), they will not alter your saddle's fit, and mould to your horses back like a low profile second skin. A thin film gullet eliminates pressure on the horse’s spine
The innovative bobble design increases surface area, alleviating pressure points and evenly distributing weight. The gel is non-sticky, does not cause friction or pluck hair when removed. This means the pad can be used either between the saddle and saddlecloth or directly on the horse's back under a saddlecloth.
Akton Polymer is has been rigorously tested worldwide in 40 years of scientific research. It is universally trusted in human clinical and sporting settings for its superior pressure relieving, impact and sheer force reducing qualities. It draws and disperses heat from the horses back, regulating temperature, and is hypoallergenic, easily cleanable and does not support bacterial growth.
