HAF Equitation has its origin in Endurance riding and has never stopped supporting this sport. In this sport the quick evaporation of heat from the horse's back is critical along with a pad that offers great support from the pressure of the rider's weight over great distances. HAF Equitation has been refining their saddle pads in particular for the endurance sport for the last 10 years.
The
HAF 8300 1/2 Wool Endurance Pad is a very well made and cleverly designed treeless saddle pad that fits perfectly under many styles of saddles. The saddle pad has an especially flat seam down the centerline and gives ample room to be a wither relief english saddle pad. It adds stability to any saddle and is widely used for many treeless models and riding modalities.
The
HAF 8300 1/2 Wool Endurance Pad has 1/2 of the underside lined with natural wool and the second half with a soft Sympanova lining which does not absorb the horse's sweat and is very skin friendly. The nodules of the Sympanova material gently massage the horse and create some airflow and cooling. This is a particularly good choice for those horses with sensitive skin. The wool protects the horse's back and provides gentle protection while the Sympanova aids in stability.
The Dry Sec top layer with its net type structure allows quick evaporation and cooling for the horse. This material is very strong and wear resistant and very easy to clean.
The HAF pad comes standard with one layer of soft open cell foam. Superior natural rubber inserts are available for heavyweight and/or endurance riders or riders with high withered horses.
Air System
TechnologyAir System Technology: Horse sweating is 5 times higher than human one. However, sweating is a very significant process for the balance of the horse inner body temperature. For this reason, it is important to use materials which do not interfere with it. This is exactly what Air System Technology is about!
A special combination of materials worked out by Haf Equitation, Air System guarantees a through perspiration and a real comfort for your horse.
The rubbery membrane of Sympanova is the core of the Air System technology. The semi-sphere structure allows the vascularity of the epidermis. Each sphere is 3cm distance from the other and thus enables a normal sweating.
The top half of the flaps underside is lined with 100% virgin wool, for the maximum comfort and support for the horse.
EASYCARE: Machine wash gentle cycle using Kookaburra or Nixwax Rug Wash. Line dry.
