Materials Mastery: Why Your Horse Feels The Difference
Correct Design Isn't an Opinion. It’s Physics.
Most riders feel it.
Fewer can explain it.
But your horse knows immediately.
What you're feeling isn’t cushioning — it's correct stability, spinal decompression, muscle release, and controlled load distribution. Every product we design is built to protect your horse’s movement, soft tissue, spine and longevity.
Why We Don’t Use Wool Felt — Ever.
Felt was never engineered for equine backs.
It compresses unevenly.
It holds moisture and heat against the entire topline.
It creates pressure peaks over time that your horse compensates for — until they can’t.
We rejected felt years ago, not because it’s unavailable — but because it fails the essential needs your horse requires.
"Tradition doesn’t protect your horse. Correct design does."
Inserts That Adapt And Protect Muscle Tissue
¾" NextJen Visco — Viscoelastic Muscle-Replacement Foam:
Muscle rehab, spinal support, rebuilding weak toplines, true adaptive rebound.
½" XRD® Technology — Advanced Shock Absorption Polymer:
Maximum concussion protection for high-intensity performance, especially under impact loads.
¼" D-Fend - Stabilizes load transfer, fine-tunes saddle balance, allows micro-corrections without destabilizing the topline.
Not Air Gimmicks. True Spine Freedom.
We don’t use air channels, mesh spines, or cutaway padding tricks.
Your horse doesn’t need “airflow.”
They need pressure removal.
Every Jen X pad uses independent panel construction that:
- Lifts weight off the spinal column.
- Reduces compressive torque through the shoulders.
- Allows full ribcage expansion and diaphragmatic release.
- Restores correct muscular freedom under saddle.
This isn’t about airflow. It’s about releasing structures that were never meant to carry pressure.
Your Horse Answers Instantly.
- Cleaner upward transitions
- More stable lead changes
- Increased shoulder freedom
- Lighter contact
- Willing lift through the back
- Reduced girth anxiety
- Less tail-swishing, head-tossing, and behavioral compensation
"They move better because they can — not because you forced it."
