Binding of Grandeur:
The binding of the Grandeur pad can also be colored according to your preference. This is the binding. There are three colors:
Top of Grandeur pad:
- fabric only
- neoprene anti-slip layer
- neoprene anti-slip layer with built-in extra insert pocket for thin inserts
- sympanova anti-slip layer with built-in extra insert pocket for thin inserts
The top (outer side) of the pad can be made of fabric only or an anti-slip layer at the level of the inserts. This anti-slip layer can be made of neoprene or sympanova. If you want an anti-slip layer, sympanova is recommended for saddles with a synthetic wool or leather underside, for example Barefoot and EDIX saddles unless your horse is very round. Neoprene is better suited for saddles with a lambskin underside, or horses that are very round. An extra insert pocket can also be built into the anti-slip layer, this is only suitable for thin inserts or correction shims. Ideal if you need a little more height. See current extra charge in the selection menu.
Underside Insert Pockets:
- anti-slip sympanova
- artificial wool black
- anti-slip sympanova with artificial wool black at the back
- artificial wool black with artificial leather at the back (anti-hair breakage)
- artificial wool camel
The finish of the insert pockets can be done with 4 different options. You have the choice between artificial wool black and anti-slip sympanova, for which there is an additional charge. Please note: this material may cause chafing on sensitive skin. See below how "anti-slip sympanova with artificial wool black at the back" looks like.
Details:
There is a lot to choose from with the Grandeur pads, including the finishing of the edge/binding. This can be decorated with a single or double decorative cord in gold or silver. See additional charge in the selection menu.
- no decorative cord
- single decorative cord silver
- double decorative cord silver
- single decorative cord gold
- double decorative cord gold
Inserts:
For optimal pressure distribution, the insert pockets can be filled with various types of inserts. You can use your own inserts that you already have available, but you can also order a new set, then you don't have to change the inserts. An advantage of this is also that the inserts are delivered tailored to the pad. There are various types with different prices, see selection menu. Are you satisfied with the current pressure distribution of your saddle with inserts? Then we recommend ordering the same type of inserts.
Maintenance:
Grandeur saddle pads are made of specially selected high-quality materials. They are machine washable at 40°C, then spin briefly. The pads cannot be tumble dried! The material on the top side is made of a strong, dirt-repellent material that hardly fades in the wash.
Again, please note: These pads are made to your preference, so the delivery time is approximately 35 working days.
