Grandeur Piping:
The border of the Grandeur pad can also be colored according to your preferences. This is the piping. There are three colors:
Top of Grandeur Pad:
- fabric only
- neoprene non-slip layer
- neoprene non-slip layer with built-in extra insert pocket for thin inserts
- sympanova non-slip layer with built-in extra insert pocket for thin inserts
The top (outer side) of the pad can be supplied in pure fabric or with a non-slip layer at the height of the inserts. This non-slip layer can be made of neoprene or sympanova. If you want a non-slip layer, sympanova is recommended for saddles with a synthetic wool or leather underside, such as 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 non-slip layer, which is only suitable for thin inserts or correction shims. Ideal if you need a little more height. See current additional price in the selection menu.
Underside Insert Pockets:
- non-slip sympanova
- artificial wool black
- non-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 finishing of the insert pockets can be done with 4 different options. You have the choice between artificial wool black and non-slip sympanova, which comes with an additional price. Note: This material may cause chafing on sensitive skin. See below how "non-slip sympanova with artificial wool black at the back" looks.
Details:
There is a lot to choose from with the Grandeur pads, including the finishing of the edge/piping. This can be decorated with a double or single decorative cord in gold or silver. See additional price in the selection menu.
- no decorative cord
- decorative cord silver single
- decorative cord silver double
- decorative cord gold single
- decorative cord gold double
Inserts:
For optimal pressure distribution, the insert pockets can be filled with various types of inserts. You can insert your own inserts that you already have in the pad, or order a new set, so you don't have to change the inserts. The advantage of this is that the inserts are delivered tailored to the pad. There are various types with different prices, see selection menu. If you are satisfied with the current pressure distribution of your saddle with inserts, 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 briefly spin. The pads cannot be tumble dried! The material on the top is made of a strong, dirt-repellent material that does not/minimally fade in washing.
Again, please note: These pads are specially made according to your preferences, so the delivery time is approximately 35 working days.
