By using the Fir-Tech saddle pad, equipped with elastic bands, you can help strengthen your horse's back and abdominal muscles through training. This can contribute to finer movements and better balance.
The rear band is designed to encourage the horse to step under itself and work from behind to front, which can help create the desired self-carrying form. The band around the belly is intended to stimulate the abdominal muscles, providing support to the back and helping to utilize the power from the hind legs.
The saddle pad is padded with Synthermax fiber filling and has an inner fabric with ceramic particles, providing an advanced, dual-action effect. Fir-Tech stands for Far Infrared Rays technology, which means that the horse's body heat is converted into infrared heat waves. These waves are reflected and penetrate the tissue beneath the skin, expanding the blood vessels and increasing the flexibility and mobility of the back muscles.
The elastic bands are fastened with large buckles on the saddle pad and can be adjusted in length as needed. To minimize the risk of chafing during training, the bands are covered with removable, soft plush.
The saddle pad can be used both when riding, with your saddle, and during longeing and lunging, with a girth.
Used for horses with:
- Back problems
- Weak back muscles
- Weak hind legs
- Asymmetry
- Heavy on the hand
- Training for backing
- Or for any horse you want to work qualitatively into the correct form
Advantages:
- Elastic band around the hindquarters helps the horse to step under itself and work from behind to front
- Elastic band around the belly activates the abdominal muscles and provides support to the back
- Ceramic particles in the material increase blood circulation in the back and increase flexibility
- Fir-tech contributes to increased metabolism, reduced muscle tension and swelling, relieves sore muscles and joints, increases oxygen levels in the blood and oxygen supply to the muscles, reduces inflammation in joints, tendons, and ligaments, promotes mobility, and has a warming effect on the muscles
Results:
Through training with the Fir-Tech saddle pad with elastic bands, you provide support for the horse's carrying ability. The hind legs step under the horse, shifting its center of gravity backward, while also creating conditions for lifting the back and neck. After a period of training, the horse should have enough guidance to go in self-carriage - self-carrying and self-maintained.
Features:
- High breathability and moisture-wicking properties
- Quick-drying
- Adjustable bands
- Removable and washable plush
- All-round and jumping model
Keep in mind:
The rear band should never be used without the band that goes under the belly. However, the band under the belly can be used separately, without the rear band. Additionally, the saddle pad can be used entirely without the bands if you only want to take advantage of the benefits of the embedded Fir-Tech technology.

Fir-tech (Far Infrared Rays technology)
Fir-tech is a high-tech coating that converts body heat into far infrared rays that are reflected back onto the horse and have a unique ability to penetrate the body to expand blood vessels and increase blood circulation. It is a completely natural and harmless technique based on energy conversion. The technology does not increase the temperature under the saddle pad, and there is no risk of overheating.
