Winderen - NanoSilver Line - Dressage saddle pad

Even in the cleanest stable, our horses and we are exposed daily to bacteria, viruses, and fungi. There is no escape from them because they can literally be everywhere: in the stable, in the bedding, or on horses' coats. Their omnipresence makes them the cause of chronic skin irritations and allergies. Winderen has repeatedly observed the effects of microbial activity on horses. The problem seemed extremely important to Winderen, so they began searching for technology that would effectively reduce it. Eventually, they focused on silver ions, which have a well-documented broad spectrum of activity. Additionally, it is possible to permanently incorporate them into equipment that comes into direct contact with a horse's sensitive skin.

Material impregnated with silver ions - what are its advantages?

Most fabrics containing nano-silver are impregnated with it. This makes the ions easily washable during use, and the material loses its properties after just a few washes. The technologically advanced fabric that Winderen uses to create NanoSilver series products was custom-made, strictly according to our guidelines. A stable and good material has been obtained by incorporating nano-silver particles directly into the yarn. Thanks to this, an effective protective barrier is created without releasing ions onto the skin surface. Moreover, the fabric is exceptionally durable - after 100 washes, it loses no more than 5% of its properties! At the same time, its structure effectively wicks away sweat and moisture, promotes hygiene, prevents chafing, and provides excellent thermoregulation.

Winderen NanoSilver - jumping saddle pad on a horse

The skin on the back is very sensitive and prone to chafing. The saddle pad rests directly on the horse's back every day and remains in contact with a body that heats up and sweats during exercise. Special attention should be paid to chestnut horses and those with white markings on their backs, as their skin is pink and therefore weaker and particularly susceptible to irritation. Under the saddle pad during training, a warm and humid environment is created where pathogens multiply rapidly.

Thanks to the Winderen NanoSilver material, the development of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and mites is minimized, and irritations and allergies are less frequent, which significantly increases riding comfort. The airy structure supports thermoregulation and increases skin hygiene, while limiting bacterial growth allows the saddle pad to stay fresh longer."
