The CATAGO FIR-Tech Training saddle pad combines all the benefits of the popular FIR-Tech saddle pad with elastics to help strengthen the back and abdominal muscles of your horse. Training with this saddle pad can result in improved movement and balance. The saddle pad has Synthermax fiber fill and inner material with woven ceramic particles, providing an advanced double-acting effect. The specially developed ceramic material transforms and reflects the horse's body heat as electromagnetic infrared heat radiation penetrates the tissue and expands the blood vessels. The result is that the flexibility of the back muscles increases. Elastics are fastened with large snap buckles to the saddle pad and can be adjusted lengthwise as needed. A soft plush lining around the elastics ensures that the horse is not worn by the elastics during work. The training saddle pad can advantageously be used for both lunging and riding. Should be used with caution.
