Sheepskin horse equipment

Why is sheepskin best for horse equipment?

When it comes to horse equipment, all horse owners look for the best possible materials to ensure comfort and durability. Sheepskin stands out as a favorite among many due to its unique properties.

• Comfort and adaptability : Sheepskin is known for its superior comfort. It naturally molds to the horse's body, reducing the risk of chafing and pressure points. Personally, I have noticed that my horse seems more relaxed under the saddle when I use sheepskin saddles.

• Temperature regulation : Another benefit is sheepskin's ability to regulate temperature. Whether it's cold or hot outside, sheepskin helps keep the horse comfortable by maintaining the right temperature. This means that both horse and rider can enjoy a smooth ride, no matter the season.

• Durability and Longevity : With proper care, sheepskin products can last an extremely long time, making them a worthy investment. Despite many years of use, these products continue to maintain their shape and comfort, saving you money in the long run.

What properties does sheepskin have?

Understanding the properties of sheepskin provides insights into why it is so sought after in horse equipment.

• Breathability : Sheepskin is naturally airy, making it breathable and reducing the risk of overheating. This has proven to be especially valuable on hot summer days when ventilation is crucial.

• Natural Moisture Control : The natural wool in sheepskin absorbs and wicks away moisture, keeping the horse dry and comfortable even in humid conditions. This moisture control also prevents fungal growth, which can be a hidden enemy under the pad.

• Antibacterial properties : Sheepskin has inherent antibacterial properties, reducing the risk of skin infections and irritation. This is important to ensure the health and well-being of your horse, especially if it has sensitive skin.

Organic production

In addition to the practical benefits, sheepskin also offers an ethical and sustainable aspect through organic production by Werner Christ Horse.

• Environmentally friendly practices : Many manufacturers are focusing on ethical sheepskin production, which minimizes environmental impact. This includes responsible animal husbandry and processes that conserve water and energy.

• Naturally biodegradable : Once sheepskin reaches the end of its life, it naturally breaks down without leaving any hyper-burdening waste on our planet. This is an important factor for the environmentally conscious consumer.

Choosing sheepskin for horse equipment not only means an investment in comfort and quality, but also a support for sustainable and ecological methods.

By understanding and appreciating the properties of sheepskin and its organic production, we can make an informed choice for our horse and our planet.
