HYPE 5* Event Pad
Regular price $179.95Designed in Australia by Australian Eventers, the HYPE Eventing Pad by Iconic Equestrian has been tried, trialled and tested and is rapidly proving to be the ultimate in comfort & technicality for the serious event rider.
Designed to help your horse cope with harsh Australian climate whilst engaging in high intensity exercise, the HYPE has been ergonomically designed to cover the saddle area of your horse's back, and no further. This enables the pad to provide comfort to your horse and grip to your saddle without overheating unnecessary areas. This smart design has been proven to reduce sweat by over 33%.
The HYPE features three unique ‘grab’ areas, which have been thoughtfully designed to stop your saddle from moving whilst engaging in strenuous exercise. The first is the outer and inner layers of non-slip material; this painlessly grips to both your horse and your saddle, creating a friction-free area of stability and control. The second is the Precision Girth Keepers, with three options to choose from, YOU control how your pad sits, no matter the saddle shape. The last is our 100% cotton base; proven to be significantly stronger, grippier and more breathable than most mesh fabrics with a bonus in structural integrity, the HYPE is strong, tough and designed to endure even the toughest of XC courses.
For added comfort without bulk, we have designed this pad to be as thin as possible, but still provide protection in the areas that matter most. The HYPE features a discrete layer of breathable padding underneath the non-slip areas, which has been meticulously thought-out to not cause any bulk or change to the saddle's fit or shape, but still provide protection where it counts.
On top of all of this, the HYPE features integrated number holders, which are a MUST whilst out on XC. Thanks to this handy addition, awkwardly attaching numbers to your breastplate or pinning them through precious saddlepads becomes a thing of the past, as the HYPE’s design removed this struggle completely!
Also featuring an anatomical spine and wither comfort design - this saddlepad has been designed to suit any and all Eventing horses.
