As a rider and former point-to-point jockey, she learnt to ride before she could walk!
Boxley riding school is one of the very first stables to test the MicroPerformance saddle pads and we asked Coral’s opinion about the product.
“The riding school was established in 19… We have a wide range of horses and ponies, and cater for novice as well as more serious riders.”
When we were first approached to try the saddle pads, they sounded too good to be True; it was claimed that they possess special qualities since they can absorb the sweat away from the horse’s back during work, yet dry quickly once you hang them out to dry. They were also supposed to be anti-odour.
We have two cobs that tend to sweat buckets when they go out for a hack, and I though using the pads on them would certainly provide a stern test.
During the hotter months of summer we tacked the horse’s up and I’m pleased to say each time the horse’s came back, the area under the saddle was almost completely dry, whilst the pads were soaking. To everyone’s surprise however, 20 minutes after turning the pads inside out, they dried completely with very little residual smell.
What is also impressive is the fact that they wash really well. Having used them for almost a year, the pads haven’t lost their shape or colours. MicroPerformance saddle pads are a durable and well performing product and I recommend them to anyone who rides.
She could not believe and at first you may not either
No way she said, I have been riding horses before I learned to walk and there is no way you can back up the claims you are making.
I smiled at her and said Coral, it never crossed my mind to insult your intelligence or make light of your experience. The proof of the pudding is in the eating as they say. Why don’t you just give it a try?
Now Coral is the owner of Boxley Riding School in Kent and is nobody’s fool. It was the height of summer and the horses were about to be prepared for a hack.
Okay, it’s your funeral she said confidently. Give me a couple.
I handed her the saddle pads and told her I would be back to hear her thoughts
The next day I walked into the school and was pleased by the look of incredulity on her face.
I can’t believe it, when the horses got back, the area under the saddle was almost completely dry, whilst the pads were soaking. What really bowled me over was the pads were dry 20 minutes later when I touched them and were virtually free of unpleasant odours.
