What does VPSŪ mean?
VPS stands for 'vertebrae protecting system'
It is a combination of several different materials, which either distribute or absorb pressure. All materials are completely flexible, so the saddle can adjust to the horse’s movements at any time. Thanks to the dense and low build-up, the communication between horse and rider is ideally possible.
Why VPSŪ?
VPSŪ distributes the rider’s weight ideal and on the largest area possible along the part of the horse back, which may be be loaded to carry weight: between the withers and the 15th/^16th vertebrae. As proven by several measuring peak pressure is eliminated. The construction of panels to the left and right of the spine create enough space for withers and spine. Even when standing in the stirrups (posting) the pressure is spread along the entire length of the seat – there is NO LIMIT regarding the rider’s weight. |

Aufbau des VPSŪ Systems:
Upper Material (Leather or DryTex)
restraining PU-Foam-Layer
pressure absorbing elastomer, Level 1
pressure distributing polymerlayer
pressure absorbing elastomer, Level 2
leveling fleece lining |
Noticeably elastic sandwich construction made of pressure absorbing elastomer layers and pressure distributing polymerlayer.
All materials have a smooth surface. We do not use padding materials which settles unevenly, so punctual hardenings are avoided.
The fleece lining towards the horse back levels out any small unevenness.
