Featuring a channel for the sternum and special padding for the adjacent muscles. The equigetic pad was developed to improve pressure distribution and relieve sternum pain.
Equigetic Pads
Equigetic Stud Girth
During the landing phase it is essential to give the horses sternum the freedom to bend and keep extra pressure off the tendon and fetlock. We designed a special studguard girth with the equigetic channel system to avoid pressure on the horses sternum. For increased protection the girth has two plates to protect the horses from injuries when hitting themselves over the fences. Used by international show jumpers Gerrit Nieberg, John Whitaker & Janne-Friederike Meyer-Zimmermann.
Equigetic Poll
The Equigetic Poll distributes the pressure from the bridle and halter on the poll. The unique shape also visibly relieves the pressure on the tempomandibular joint created by the browband and buckles. Overall the bridle sits more comfortably and the horses are more relaxed. Since everything is connected within the body the Equigetic Poll may also relax the tension in the neck of some horses.
“With the equigetic pad, my horses move more freely and use their body better over the jump. I think it’s good that you can attach it to different girths and I can use it for all my horses.”
—Ebba Johansson, International Show Jumper
