IMPORT REPORT

The product:  Limpet Saddle Pad.

The Claim:  This pad molds to your horse’s shape, eliminating friction.  Its open-cell composition allows heat to pass through, which forms a no-slip bond between your horse, the pad, and your saddle.  (Walk your horse under saddle for about 10 minutes before you begin your work out to give the pad a chance to lock onto his back.  For faster adhesion, wipe the pad with a wet cloth before you saddle up.)  The pad is made from hygienic, nontoxic materials, so it won’t irritate his skin.

H&R Test:  Our tester, a professional trainer, found this pad—as claimed—offered support and cushion.  And, it didn’t irritate his horse’s skin.  Once his horse began to sweat, creating heat, the pad locked into place.  After a hard workout, his horse didn’t suffer any hot spots (areas where saddle pressure is so great, heat can’t escape, and circulation is reduced).  Heat and sweat were evenly distributed beneath the pad
