Through training with the Fir-Tech saddle pad, equipped with elastic bands, you can strengthen your horse's back and abdominal muscles and help it achieve finer movements and better balance.
The rear band is intended to encourage the horse to step under itself and work from behind to front, for a desired self-carrying form, while the band around the belly is meant to stimulate the abdominal muscles. With activated abdominal muscles, the back receives support to lift the front end and utilize the power from behind.
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 transforms the horse's body heat into electromagnetic, infrared heat waves. These waves are reflected and penetrate the tissue up to 4-7 cm under the skin, expanding the blood vessels, resulting in more flexible and mobile back muscles.
The elastic bands are fastened with large buckles on the saddle pad and can be adjusted in length as needed. They are covered with removable, soft plush to minimize the risk of chafing during training.
The saddle pad can be advantageously used both when riding, with your saddle, or 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, providing support for the back
- Ceramic particles in the material reuse the horse's body heat to increase blood circulation in the back, making it more flexible
- Fir-tech also contributes to increased metabolism, reduced muscle tension and swelling, relief of sore muscles and joints, increased oxygen levels in the blood and oxygen supply to the muscles, reduction of inflammation in joints, tendons, and ligaments, promotion of mobility, and has a warming effect on the muscles.
Results:
Through training with the saddle pad, Fir-Tech 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 to lift 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
- Dressage model
Keep in mind:
The rear band should never be used without the band that sits 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.
