The VIP (Very Important Pad) Original Gel Pad is the ultimate impact and pressure-relieving saddle pad for horses! These pads are truly unique, crafted from Akton Polymer, which provides a superior textured structure that gives high tensile strength, the key to maintaining shape under extreme and prolonged compression. These pads are soft, flexible and seamless with no pressure causing trims.

Extremely thin (only 8mm thick), they will not alter your saddle's fit, and mould to your horses back like a low profile second skin. A thin film gullet eliminates pressure on the horse’s spine

The innovative bobble design increases surface area, alleviating pressure points and evenly distributing weight. The gel is non-sticky, does not cause friction or pluck hair when removed. This means the pad can be used either between the saddle and saddlecloth or directly on the horse's back under a saddlecloth.

Akton Polymer is has been rigorously tested worldwide in 40 years of scientific research. It is universally trusted in human clinical and sporting settings for its superior pressure relieving, impact and sheer force reducing qualities. It draws and disperses heat from the horses back, regulating temperature, and is hypoallergenic, easily cleanable and does not support bacterial growth.

"With its excellent ‘second skin’ like feel and use of proven materials, the Very Important Pad has become a super additional piece of kit to use on a wide range of my horses for all the disciplines of three day eventing. I hardly notice when the horse is wearing it. The all important close contact connection I have between my saddle and the horse is not compromised in any way. The VIP is an exciting and innovative product with its success being a reflection of the extensive research and attention to detail that has gone into creating it." - Sam Griffiths, International Eventer

"Prior to this pad being available I always used a sheepskin underneath my saddle on Felix ( jazzed up - winner of 4 regional titles 2017) as his skin is so sensitive and any pads rubbed him raw over his back under the back of the saddle. Since using this pad not only has the rubbing completely stopped, the saddle doesn’t slip forward and he’s so much looser through his shoulders! As well as being so much better for him as the sweat can be wiped off the pad so everyday it’s clean as opposed to the sheepskin one which was washed twice a week but still you feel isn’t 100% clean everytime." - Lara Edwards, International Dressage Rider
