Leading specialists in back protection, Equitex UK, are delighted to announce the support of Gemma Tattersall with their Saddle Pads.
British Event Rider Gemma is one of the leading names on the international eventing and circuit. Representing Great Britain on countless occasions, Gemma has been supported by the World Class Programme since the age of sixteen. This has led to many great achievements; a highlight being winning team Gold at the World Equestrian Games in Tyron.
Equitex Saddle Pads are entirely non-slip and have been proven to reduce the impact and concussion that a rider can impart through the saddle. They have also been shown to help encourage muscle development under the saddle.
Made from a unique, internal layering system of reactive foam, the underside of Equitex pads is in a TechVelvet which works with the horse’s coat to stay fixed firmly in place while allowing for total freedom of movement for the skin and muscles under the saddle. The inner foam is bonded to the outer fabric rather than stitched in so there are no creases, ridges, lumps, or bumps, negating any pressure points.
There are no girth straps or fixing loops and the “sticky” heat sealed, graphic grips on the topside of each saddle pad help secure the saddle firmly in place.
After having been introduced and buying Equitex pads at the end of last season, Gemma has been trialling them with her horses over the winter and has been so pleased with the results that she will be riding in them as the eventing season kicks off this month.
On asking her for her thoughts on them she kept it straight to the point! “I literally absolutely love them. It’s what I’ve been looking for my whole career - honestly! I just want to ride in them all the time!”
Amanda Fisher, exclusive distributor of Equitex Saddle Pads in the UK is thrilled to have Gemma onboard as an ambassador. “It’s great to see another rider at the top of their sport, putting their trust in Equitex. It’s a true testament to how special these saddle pads are, and we can’t wait to see what Gemma achieves riding in them.’’
