Qualified Riders

VIP is different because our raw material is so unique. It is called VEteq©. It is usually found in the human medical industry and is effective as a skin fat substitute that it is used to protect skin during radiotherapy, spaceship harnesses, by the military in gun recoil pads and body armour, stunt clothing and even in American football helmets to prevent concussion.

Technically ‘The VIP’ is not a gel but a viscoelastic polymer, this essentially means it is not rubber based. Foams, shim style pads, memory foams are. Foams compress and once compressed have a high rebound factor and when they rebound they do not absorb shock. Rubber based foams may feel squishy and soft when new but once compressed that is it. The VIP has an extremely high tensile strength. 

- Superior textured structure gives high tensile strength, the key to maintaining shape under extreme and prolonged compression
- Soft, flexible and seamless with no pressure causing trims
- Moulds to your horses back like a low profile second skin
- A thin film gullet eliminates pressure on the horse’s spine
- Only 8mm thick so does not alter your saddle fit
- Bobbles increase surface area, alleviating pressure points and evenly distributing weight
- Non-sticky, does not cause friction or pluck hair when removed
- Rigorously tested worldwide in 40 years of scientific research
- Universally trusted in human clinical and sporting settings for its superior pressure relieving, impact and sheer force reducing qualities
- Draws and disperses heat from the horses back, regulating temperature
- Hypoallergenic, easily cleanable and does not support bacterial growth
