Secure saddle pad - the choice of US Team at Burghley

Top US riders competing at Burghley CCI4* will be riding in ECOGOLD's newest saddle pad, the Secure™ Saddle pad, specially designed to improve the safety, comfort & performance of horse and rider.

- No Slipping, no sliding! The non-slip material at the top and underside keeps the saddle secure, reducing pressure on the girth & breast plate and making the horse more comfortable.
- Quick moisture evaporation! The high-tech Air-Knit fabric has a waffle-like texture which doubles the moisture evaporation surface to keep the horse cool & dry.
- Impact protection without compromise! The 100% breathable high-density foam in the seat area protects the horse's back from impact without adding bulk.
- Innovative design for a better rider position! There is no foam on the flaps, for the closest possible leg contact and a more stable riding position.

The Secure™ Saddle pad is priced at $160. Available in cross-country, dressage and jumping styles.

Dutton Eventing Academy - 2009

Last week, we were invited to Phillip Dutton's Eventing Academy. Students live a very unique experience of 5 extensive-days of training, presentations & social events with two-time Olympic Gold Medallist Phillip Dutton & his team at True Prospect Farm. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many of the students and it was wonderful to be part of it. Here are a few videos we made the day we spent there - Enjoy!
