WHY DOES THE VIP HAVE BOBBLES? Sunday Fun Facts!

👉We originally got the idea from bubble wrap but fast realised it enabled us to use the maximum amount of raw material without making The VIP bulky and heavy.

👉The bobbles have a small amount of movement, which allows the muscles and fascia to move under the pad. The flat side goes against your panel for maximum contact.

👉So effectively the top and bottom move separately.

👉This also helps stabilise the saddle. Many riders have reported this has helped their own backs.

VEteq, the raw material of all VIP Equestrian products draws and disperses heat, thereby regulating temperature.

VEteq is hypoallergenic, easy to clean, and does not support bacterial growth. It also doesn’t stick or pull hair off the horse’s back (because it’s ).

VEteq is a medical grade polymer that has been rigorously tested worldwide in peer reviewed research and used for over 50 years to prevent and treat pressure sores and ulcers in humans. In other words: it’s been tried and tested. And tested some more.

VEteq does not leak or bottom out under pressure. (*cough* definitely .) The VEteq polymer provides cushion to the horse’s back like a low profile second skin while the Pad’s Bobbles™ surface alleviates pressure points. Plus, it’s only 8mm thick so it doesn’t alter saddle fit.

The VIP™ Half Pad is not a gel pad.

You may have mistaken it for one, because it looks like a gel pad. But one squeeze will immediately dispel any confusion.

And that’s important because the VIP Equestrian‘s VIP™ Pad isn’t just not a gel pad. It’s a proprietary viscoelastic polymer known as VEteq™ and it’s the gold standard in pressure and impact protection—the very properties half pads are designed to solve.
