Winderen Saddle Pad Dressage NanoSilver Line

NanoSilver Line

Why silver?

Silver ions provide antibacterial and antifungal effects. They reduce the risk of bacterial infection by limiting the development of sweat-borne microbes and minimizing their growth above natural levels. They are commonly used in medicine and in the production of sportswear.

In Winderen NanoSilver Line saddle pads, the bottom layer (which is in direct contact with the horse’s back) is made of a technologically advanced material with silver ions incorporated directly in the fibres. The ions are not discharged to the skin and the saddle pad therefore remains gentle to the skin without affecting its natural pH value, making it the perfect solution for horses susceptible to allergies.

Furthermore, the silver ions contained in the fibres ensure continued effectiveness even after repeated washing. The unique structure of this material, in combination with the felt layer, effectively removes sweat and moisture. The silver ions also reduce unpleasant odours, allowing the saddle pad to stay fresh for a longer period of time.

Especially recommended for:

• • Allergic and sensitive horses
• • Horses with skin lesions or burns in the saddle area
• • Horses having problems with inflammation of hair follicles of bacterial origin
• • Horses suffering from coat loss and chafing at the back

Anatomic Top Line products are made of the finest materials and threads. Thanks to the use of natural felt and embossed 100% cotton, this saddle pad has excellent thermoregulation properties. Areas exposed to abrasions are given additional reinforcements to keep the saddle pad looking good, even in heavy use. In addition, the materials used for Anatomic Top Line are machine washable, and the saddle pad won’t shrink or lose its shape even after multiple washings.

Horses sweat during training – this is a natural mechanism to lower body temperature and prevent overheating. That's why the equipment we use should ensure effective moisture wicking – to help the body to cool down so the horse will be more comfortable during the ride. This is especially important on hot days or during hard workouts.

During riding, the horse sweats the most under the saddle pad, in the area directly beneath the saddle flaps. The Anatomic Top Line saddle pad has a soft, high-absorbent natural felt fill and an embossed 100% cotton underside for excellent moisture wicking. These natural materials provide excellent insulation between the saddle and the horse, preventing the sensitive skin of the back from overheating and ensuring your horse's comfort under the saddle.
