If you’ve read our page “How You Store Your Saddle Can Affect Your Horse” you already know how saddle panels become damaged and the negative effect this can have on your horse.
At SaddleMattress we’re passionate about saddle performance and optimum comfort for the horse. We believe saddle panels should conform to a horse’s back and not to the bars of a saddle rack they rest on.
That’s why we created SaddleMattress -the first product dedicated to protecting the panels of a saddle when stored on a standard English saddle rack.
SaddleMattress is uniquely designed to cushion saddle panels, protecting them from damaging pressure and helping to maintain their integrity and balance for optimum performance. It’s technically smart and superbly practical, designed by an equestrian for equestrians.
Smart Design ….Inside and Out
Our unique, patented product is the culmination of 2 years of product development and testing. The product design combines materials technology and precision engineering to provide 3-way protection:
1. Reduces pressure – Our base layer is designed with a special coating to provide a protective shock absorbing barrier that significantly reduces damaging pressure.
2. Redistributes weight – Our unique contoured weight bearing layer lifts and redistributes the weight and balance of the saddle.
3. Cushions – Our center ridge supports the saddle through the gullet allowing the panels to rest cushioned on two beveled fins.
Each SaddleMattress has a zippered cover for easy removal and convenient laundering. The underside of the cover features a pocket that slides over the back of the saddle rack and secures with 2 Velcro seals – once secured, SaddleMattress hugs the rack and stays in place when removing and replacing a saddle.
We’ve rigorously tested our product to ensure it offers the optimum protection for saddle panels – click on the “Our Tests Prove SaddleMattress Works!” link to learn more.
