subject: On Being Sensitive To Your Horses Needs [print this page] You as a horse rider know how sensitive horses are. Each is an individual and its needs have to be addressed as you would address the needs of an individual human being. Horses are small, they are big, they are narrow in girth and they are broad in girth. Some have very small canters and gallops while others have very long strides both in gallop and in canter. Some horses can ride on without fatigue while others need rest more often. One trait, which is common in a number of horses, is their sensitive backs. This is where you could be sensitive to your horses needs and go for British made numnahs.
Numnahs or saddlepads along with the saddle have to fit snugly. You therefore need a wide range of these numnahs so as to meet the wide variation in requirements depending on your particular horse and its special needs. In this aspect British made numnahs are available in a very wide range for your selection.
You need perfectly fitting Saddlepads in order that your horse is not uncomfortable especially during a grueling ride. The best numnahs are those that are made in British wool pile of the purest quality. This wool is used to fabricate the 5 oz quilt that has a rolled edge. Smart and durable these numnahs can be ordered in various styles, sizes and colors. These styles are generally DR or Dressage, GP and WH or Working Hunter. The sizes include small, medium, large and extra large. There are special British made numnahs that are ideal for horses that will be ridden over a long period or for those horses that suffer from sensitive backs.
The range of saddlepads available includes high wither half numnahs with collars, half wool pads that have collars at both the front and the back and half wool pads that have generous length of the flap and are very popular with the dressage riders on this account. There are variations in the color of the wool as well as the quilt. There are numnahs with wool on both the sides as well. Finally bespoke services are also available for custom tailoring.
