The "Cloud One" saddle pad was developed to provide support where even a well-fitted saddle can reach its limits: pressure peaks, movement, and variable load. The 3D zone damping technology distributes, absorbs, and redirects the forces generated during riding, noticeably relieving the horse’s back. This results in greater relaxation, more even movement, and a more stable riding feel—especially during intensive training phases or with sensitive horses. At the same time, the pad remains breathable, non-slip, and ergonomic, meaning it does not alter the saddle but complements it in a meaningful way. A well-considered solution for riders who want to actively improve their horse’s comfort without compromising function or feel.
 

• 3D Zone Damping Technology – uniquely precise pressure distribution: By combining three differently structured layers, the pressure exerted by the saddle on the horse's back is specifically distributed and absorbed. Each zone is specially designed to meet different requirements, ensuring optimal relief for the horse's back in every riding Situation.

  • Defender – Zone 1: The Defender layer is made of high-density memory foam that effectively reflects and evenly distributes pressure peaks. The material dynamically adapts to the rider's movements, optimizing pressure distribution and preventing uncomfortable pressure points. Thanks to its shape memory properties, the foam quickly returns to its original form after compression, ensuring long-term stability and lasting support. This layer serves as the first protective barrier between the saddle and the horse's back.

  • Power Balancer – Zone 2: The Power Balancer layer is made of neoprene, a material capable of effectively absorbing excess energy and shocks. It captures rapid energy surges, minimizing pressure and vibrations that occur during intense movements. This layer acts as the second protective barrier against overstrain, reducing stress on the horse's back and ensuring comfort even during high-intensity activities. It guarantees even weight distribution and enhances comfort throughout the entire ride.

  • Aligner – Zone 3: The Aligner layer is made of medium-density memory foam, providing the perfect balance between flexibility and support. Compared to high-density memory foam, this material adapts even more precisely to the horse’s natural anatomy, effectively reducing strain on the back muscles. This adaptability ensures even pressure distribution, minimizing the risk of muscle tension and injuries. The medium density allows for an optimal combination of comfort and stability.

• Energy-reflecting and absorbing – for even pressure relief: This technology is particularly effective while riding, as it redirects the energy generated by movement and pressure rather than transferring it to the horse’s back. This reduces strain from unwanted shocks and vibrations, which could otherwise lead to muscle tension or fatigue. By reflecting energy, impact forces are minimized, protecting the horse’s back. This not only enhances freedom of movement and comfort but also improves endurance during riding. The reflected energy helps support the horse’s natural gait, creating a more harmonious and efficient connection between rider and horse.

• Skin-friendly material – gentle on the skin, protects the back: The antifungal properties prevent the growth of mold, which could cause skin irritations and infections, especially in humid conditions. At the same time, the antibacterial effect protects against bacteria that can lead to inflammation or skin infections. Additionally, the odor-inhibiting function immediately neutralizes unpleasant smells caused by sweat or moisture, keeping the pad fresh even during intense use. This combination of features not only promotes hygiene but also enhances the horse’s well-being and health by preventing skin issues even without direct skin contact.

• Breathable AirMesh backline and interior – for optimal air circulation: This advanced mesh material offers superior air circulation, ensuring that heat and moisture are quickly dissipated. Its exceptional breathability effectively prevents the buildup of heat and excess moisture, which often lead to uncomfortable friction and sweat accumulation. While conventional mesh materials provide limited ventilation, AirMesh technology constantly optimizes airflow. This innovation ensures that the horse benefits from optimal ventilation even during intense training sessions or long riding hours.

• Eco-friendly – natural and free from toxins: By using eco-friendly and chemical-free materials, not only is the health of the horse protected, but the environment is also preserved. At the same time, the risk of long-term effects from toxic residues, often found in conventional products, is eliminated. Furthermore, the toxin-free manufacturing of the pad actively contributes to environmental protection, as no harmful chemicals are released into the soil, water, or air. This sustainable material choice ensures that the pad is not only safe for the horse but also aligns with the principles of a healthy and intact environment.

• Ergonomic shape – follows the natural posture: This precise adaptation ensures even pressure distribution along the horse’s back, reducing the risk of pressure sores or uncomfortable friction. The ergonomic design allows for full freedom of movement, while providing optimal support. This enables a comfortable, pain-free riding experience and promotes the horse’s correct posture, which is especially important during longer riding sessions or intense training.

• Non-slip with silicone print patterns – firm grip with every movement: This specially designed print provides excellent grip between the saddle and the horse's back, preventing slipping even during intense movements. This ensures the stability of the saddle and minimizes the risk of an unstable seat or potential friction. The non-slip technology guarantees a consistently secure fit, resulting in a more comfortable and stress-free riding experience for both the horse and rider.

Did you know that… saddle pads have been an essential tool for riders for centuries? As early as ancient Greece and Rome, cavalrymen used simple fur cushions to ensure rider comfort and protect the horses. However, the term "saddle pad" itself only emerged in the 19th century, when saddle construction advanced, and padding became necessary for pressure Distribution.
 

FAQ about the "Cloud One" Saddle Pad:

Innovation

• What is 3D Zone Damping Technology and how does it work?
  The 3D Zone Damping Technology consists of three specially designed zones, each with a different structure to specifically distribute and absorb the pressure exerted by the saddle on the horse’s back. Each zone is optimized for different requirements, ensuring that the pressure load is evenly distributed during riding, providing maximum relief for the horse. The zones ensure that the horse remains comfortable and secure throughout every riding activity.

• How does the Defender layer contribute to pressure distribution?
  The Defender layer is made of high-density memory foam, which effectively absorbs and evenly distributes pressure peaks. This memory foam dynamically adapts to the rider's movements, helping to avoid uncomfortable pressure points. Thanks to its shape memory properties, the zone remains permanently stable and provides long-term support, which is especially important for longer riding sessions.

• What makes the Power Balancer layer so special?
  The Power Balancer layer is made of neoprene and absorbs excess energy and shocks generated by intense movements. It helps minimize pressure and vibrations, ensuring even weight distribution that protects the horse’s back. This zone helps the horse move comfortably and without unpleasant strain, even during intense activities.

• What is the advantage of the Aligner layer?
  The Aligner layer is made of medium-density memory foam that precisely adapts to the horse's natural anatomy, reducing strain on the back muscles. This zone ensures even pressure distribution and reduces the risk of muscle tension or injuries. It offers an ideal balance between flexibility and stability, resulting in greater comfort for the horse.

• How does the energy-reflecting technology help my horse?
  The reflecting technology redirects the energy generated by movement and pressure back, rather than transferring it to the horse’s back. This minimizes impact forces, protecting the horse’s back and reducing strain from unwanted shocks or vibrations. It promotes better freedom of movement and supports the horse’s natural gait, leading to a more comfortable and harmonious riding experience.
