Cool comfort for backs

Keep your horse comfortable and cool at competitions with Armadillo’s Airotec Saddle Pad

If you are looking for a lightweight saddle pad to protect your competition horse’s back, then Armadillo products may have just the item.

The company’s new Airotec Saddle Pad is manufactured from flexible shock-absorbent foam making it ideal to protect your horse’s back while competing.

Perforations are designed to wick sweat away from the saddle area. “Bubbles” on the top and underside of the pad pump the warm air and sweat away from your horse’s skin.

The lightweight pad is covered with an soft anti-sweat fabric to help keep your horse cool when the pressure is on. The pad is also designed to eliminate pressure points and prevent rubbing.

Available in one size only, the pad can be used under all sizes of dressage, GP, jumping and endurance saddles

Fully washable and quick drying, it is available in either black or white.

Cost at around £60.
