When we started researching saddle-pad design, we wanted to understand what was actually happening between the pad and the horse’s back while they were working.
The horse’s back is surrounded by layers of fascia — connective tissue that helps muscles, joints and other structures move and function together. When excessive friction, pressure or restriction is introduced, it can interfere with the natural movement of these tissues and contribute to discomfort and tissue stress.
That’s why we questioned the need for rubber sitting directly against the horse which not only creates additional friction and rubbing against their hairs, but also affects the connective tissues supporting their back muscles.
So we removed it.
The ReVXC features a fully breathable recycled mesh underside, with no rubber against the horse’s back. The grip is where it belongs — between the saddle and the pad — while the horse-facing side is designed with airflow, movement and comfort in mind.
