The result is a more level saddle position without compromising the horse's freedom of movement or the integrity of the saddle fit.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eGraduated thickness of 8–23mm — thicker at the rear to raise the cantle and correct saddle balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eReduced thickness in the central spine channel — adapts to the withers and back, maintaining proper clearance and continuous air circulation between saddle and pad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e3D hexagonal no-impact structure of separate open cells — each hexagon moves independently to follow the natural motion of horse and rider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSuperior shock absorption, pressure relief and even pressure distribution across the horse's back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNon-slip surface on both sides — grips the saddle above and the saddle cloth below to prevent any shifting or rotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOpen 3D design promotes air circulation and actively assists sweat removal, with a toothed underside that also creates a gentle massaging effect and stimulates circulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMedical-grade thermoplastic gel: hypoallergenic, non-toxic, antibacterial, retains its shape after use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCan be used directly against the horse's skin, or between numnah and saddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOne size fits all saddle types\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e100% recyclable — Ekkia-distributed Horsena product committed to sustainable materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMade in Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Length 56.5cm \/ Width 44cm \/ Thickness 8–23mm \/ Weight 1.5kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal for:\u003c\/strong\u003e riders whose saddle sits higher at the front than the rear; horses where the saddle tips the rider forward; situations where the cantle needs lifting to restore neutral saddle balance; horses whose back shape has changed with age, fitness or muscle development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machine washable at 30°, or hand wash with a small amount of washing-up liquid.
