What are the Impact Protection Inserts for?
The impact of the saddle and the rider hitting the horse’s back can contribute to serious musculoskeletal conditions over time. Extreme Pro and Ortho-Impact offer excellent impact protection to protect your horse’s topline. Don’t wait until your horse has a problem! A saddle pad with quality impact protection can help you maintain a healthy back and prevent problems long term.
How to Select The Best Impact Protection Inserts For Your Horse
Select Impact Protection suitable for your horse, your style of riding, and frequency of riding. The inserts are not removeable from the woven pads.
Extreme Pro – 9mm XRD™ foam, perforated for breathability. The “yellow” insert is XRD, a foam engineered to absorb 90% of the energy from impact. Extreme Pro is lightweight, highly effective, and ideal for preventive care. Best for: Horses with well-developed topline muscle that should be protected; performance horses in top condition; and horses ridden frequently and intensely.
Ortho-Impact – the “blue/yellow” insert is 5mm XRD™ foam bonded to ½” memory foam, perforated for breathability. XRD absorbs 90% of the energy of impact; memory foam cushions the muscles. Ortho-Impact works well for horses that need to build back muscle. Best for: Horses with an undeveloped topline, such as young or green horses; horses that have not been ridden for a while; senior horses with a dropped topline; horses recovering from a back injury or soreness.
FlexForm – the “blue” insert is ½” memory foam. Memory foam offers cushioning, but little to no impact protection. Best for: adding a little extra cushion for very infrequent and low impact riding, such as a short ride around a pasture.
