Gel pads protect the back of your Icelandic horse

If you want to ensure that your Icelandic horse remains healthy and efficient in the long term, basic accessories such as a saddle pad are essential. Gel pads in particular can prevent back pain in your Icelandic horse – because back pain remains one of the biggest problems in horses, as this is where most of the weight is placed. Cramps and tension in the back muscles can lead to health problems, and in the long term can even result in muscle damage.

The solution: gel pads optimally distribute the pressure on your Icelandic horse’s back and can also compensate for an incorrectly fitted saddle. Your Icelandic horse does not have to adopt a relieving posture to counteract unpleasant pressure. Ideally, saddle pads distribute the rider’s weight evenly across the saddle area, reduce local compression and absorb shocks.

Absorb pressure and shocks with the gel pad

As well-padded saddles are better able to withstand pressure, horses find saddle pads comfortable. This even applies to a well-fitting saddle: the less pressure a saddle pad exerts on the back muscles, the more comfortable it is for the horse – and therefore also for the rider. To protect your Icelandic horse’s back and avoid chafing, you should always use a saddle pad when riding. In our equestrian online store, you will find various gel pads that are particularly suitable as saddle pads.
