It provides a stable, shock absorbing base under your saddle to enhance comfort, freedom of movement and aids the even distribution of pressure.
The molding form of the HM CorkEE pad aids the distribution of the riders weight and thus can greatly increase the stability of the saddle which along with the subtle flow and molding of the cork works to help relieve direct pressures and tensions from the locomotion of the horse against the surface of the saddle, which otherwise can lead to muscles becoming spasmodic and have a negative effect on the horses top line
The Heather Moffett CorkEE pad has a filling of granular cork which is harvested in a sustainable and regenerative way and grains are specially selected for size. This is then able to filter and compact to take up the precise shape of the horse’s back and therefore allow for a better ‘fit’ with the saddle, This type of pad can be a very useful asset for corrective saddle fitting to help address issues such as asymmetry when advised and guided by a qualified saddle fitter, it is also very effective in preventing saddle sores.
The breathability, support and subtle massaging effect of the filtering, forming and gentle ‘setting’ under the pressure of the saddle can help to unburden the horses back muscles, free the shoulders, restoring blood flow and oxygen allowing the horse to move more comfortably, take up an increased range of movement and therefore creating an improved environment for muscle growth. cork is also naturally resistant to fungus and mould and is therefore easy to rinse and clean.
