HOPPERPAD

THE SADDLE PAD FOR OPTIMAL PRESSURE COMPENSATION

The HopperPad creates an optimal and health-promoting pressure compensation for your horse’s back. A unique foam combination ensures a proven pressure reduction and provides the perfect balance for horse and rider.

The HopperPad is an innovation among saddle pads. In addition to the innovative shape, a special foam combination provides optimal pressure equalization for the horse’s back.

The combination of foam enables both an exact adjustment to the horse’s back and optimal damping during movement, thus protecting the back muscles.

Proven pressure reduction combined with optimal connection and balance between horse and rider make the HopperPad a unique choice for equestrian sports.

HOPPERPAD VARIANTS

The HopperPad Jump+ and the HopperPad Dressage are two outstanding saddle pads, each developed for different disciplines. The decisive difference between these two pads lies in the shape. On the one hand, the different leg position in dressage and jumping saddles requires an individually adapted shape. On the other hand, the two disciplines involve different stress cycles.

The HopperPad Dressage and the HopperPad Jump+ were specially developed to meet the special requirements of the disciplines and to optimally support the horse’s performance.

BACK LOADING OF THE HORSE WITHOUT HOPPER PAD – one-sided load

A healthy back is of enormous importance for a riding horse. Factors such as looseness, tension, stretching, bending, but also the entire musculoskeletal system are related to good back muscles.

The long back muscle is the longest muscle in the horse’s body. It not only protects the sensitive vertebrae of the back, but also absorbs any shock caused by movement.

BACK LOADING OF THE HORSE WITH HOPPER PAD – homogenous loading

Loosening and building up the back muscles are core elements of daily work in riding. Similar to humans, every horse has a genetically determined predisposition to build up back muscles to varying degrees.

The physique also plays a decisive role. Almost every horse, also like its rider, has a better and a worse side.

DEVELOPMENT OF HOPPERPAD: USE OF A SPECIAL MAT FOR PRESSURE MEASUREMENT

Of course, the saddle also has an influence on the development of the back muscles. Pressure points or one-sided loads can lead to incorrectly developed muscles, which can also cause long-term damage. Uneven pressure not only disturbs the horse’s back, but also the rider’s influence. The aids can only be given correctly if there is also an optimal connection between the horse’s back and the rider.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HOPPERPAD: Physiological comfort for the horse’s back

The passion for horses and the knowledge from the rubber and plastics industry form the basis for the development of the HopperPads. The physiological effect is the focus of this innovation in combination with a high-quality look.

The shape of the pads was initially defined through joint development with physiotherapists and veterinarians. An extended shoulder piece particularly stands out on the HopperPad Jump+. On the one hand, this is due to the fact that many horses have weak shoulder muscles, and on the other hand, there is extremely high pressure on the horse’s shoulders, especially when jumping. The HopperPad dressage has a shape adapted to the dressage saddle. Both HopperPads are designed in such a way that they do not put any pressure on the horse’s spinal canal.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HOPPERPAD: Proven pressure reduction

Inspired by luxury mattresses and high-performance sporting goods, the search for the optimal foam began. Different materials were measured using a sensor mat by determining pressure points on the horse’s back in all gaits with and without a pad. Our special 2-component foam delivered the best results in terms of pressure reduction, breathability and durability.

The upper foam adapts as much as possible to the shape of the horse’s back through warmth and weight. The lower foam has very good resilience and resilience, which ensures optimal pressure equalization, especially during movement. The proven reduction in pressure enables the back muscles to be protected.
