Abstract
A saddle pad/saddle cloth/numnah 1 comprises two layers of spacer fabric. The bottom layer 2, which in use is in contact with the horses back, is 2mm thick and has exterior surfaces 5, 6 with a plurality of small holes. The upper layer 3, which in use is in contact with the saddle, is 6mm thick and has rougher exterior surfaces 7, 8 with a plurality of larger holes. Monofilament yarns 4 are located inside each layer. The holes may form a honeycomb texture to the exterior surfaces. The two fabric layers can be bound by cotton or soft plastic trim 10, and they may be stitched together with a ribbed effect [fig. 3, fig. 4]. A cotton of soft plastic spine 9 might also be used to bind the layers together. The saddle pad aids in the dissipation of heat and evaporation of the horses sweat, and helps prevent overheating and the accumulation of sweat, proteins and bacteria on the saddle and the hairs of the horse.

Sweat reducing, quick dry saddle pad for horse Background
The use of ridden horses involves the use of a saddle, a semi-rigid device of leather and/or metal and/or synthetic fibers held in position using a girth, which is a strap of varying materials that goes around the trunk of the horse and secures to the saddle.
When performing a physical activity, horses produce a lot of heat, and in order to maintain the body temperature they cool via sweat evaporation. If the sweat produced between saddle and the horse is unable to evaporate, bacteria will thrive. More importantly, if the sweat does not evaporate it stifles the cooling effect, which can affect the horse’s physical well-being. The sweat and accumulated bacteria can also, over time, damage the saddle due to repeated sweat absorption. Therefore it is common practice to use a pad of various compositions and thickness to act as a barrier between the horse’s back and the saddle. This “barrier” is often referred to as a "saddle pad", it has the following main functions: preventing the sweat from damaging the saddle, enabling impact protection between horse and saddle, and harmonizing unequal pressures between saddle and horse.
Horses are flight animals which have particular problems in dissipating heat efficiently during long periods of exercise. In order to thermo-regulate themselves, they produce large amounts of sweat by special glands distributed over the entire body surface. The evaporation of sweat subtracts heat to the skin and to the capillary bed underneath. This mechanism is present in humans but very rare in mammals, being almost exclusively found in the horse.
Horses can produce up to 40 mL/min/m2 of sweat. Horses used in sports weigh on average 500 kg and have a body surface area of about 5 m2. It has been calculated in the laboratory that approximately 8 liters of sweat is produced during a training session of medium intensity. Excessive sweating in a warm humid environment may cause serious physical problems since the sweat blocks the thermo-regulation when it does not evaporate. Thus being said, excessive sweating in cold temperatures can also have negative effects on the horse.
Horses naturally thermo regulate using their thick coat of water repellent hairs, enabling air to flow freely between the hairs, and sweat and water to move away from the horse’s skin. The sweat also produces a protein called “latherin’’ which is designed to assist the transportation of sweat along the hair, away from the skin, and into the atmosphere through evaporation.
However the saddle compresses this soft layer as it has no rigidity, and prevents this airflow.
Also to note that in the Winter, riders often shave their horses of their thick, thermo regulating coat, and as a result destroy the thermo regulating ability of the horse altogether.
There is a risk of an accumulation of sweat, proteins and bacteria on the saddle, the saddle pad, and the hairs of the horse, increasing the risk of infection. The saddle is at risk of being damaged by the sweat, breaking down the material, it also often results in a bad smell. Therefore everything is washed regularly - the risk in particular with leather saddles is that the regular washing will dry and crack the leather, resulting in deterioration of the saddle. In winter the sweat of the horse still on the back may freeze which can cause other health risks to the horse.
Currently the most regularly used saddle pad is made of the following materials: cotton, cotton with natural or synthetic padding, wool, synthetic materials, pressed wool, neoprene, memory foam, or fur. Some newer designs of saddle pads are exploring plastics with ventilation in the form of a holed effect. In addition to this secondary pads are placed between saddle pad and saddle to harmonize the imbalance between horse and saddle, and/or prevent slippage of saddle, saddle pad or both. These are often made of gels, or natural lambskin/fur.
Current materials used are disadvantageous; they absorb and retain sweat, bacteria, dust, hairs, sand, etc. They can often only be cleaned in a washing machine (which are often not available at livery yards) as opposed to being hosed down, and they take a long time to dry - particularly on a cold, damp day. The fact that saddle pads using different materials to absorb the sweat or prevent the sweat of the horse from evaporating causes disadvantages to competition riders in particular with more than one horse to ride in a day; this becomes a very expensive operation as they need at least one saddle pad per horse. Other disadvantages are the thickness of the pad in terms of the fact that some can be so thick with layers that they can distort the fit of the saddle to the horse and cause tightness and pressure, which in turn can damage the horse’s back. Dr. Hilary Clayton studies the risk of increased tightening caused by ill-fitting saddles, and also quotes that friction is increased when the horse’s back is hot and sweaty (ref:
Weight is also fundamental, naturally, the lighter the equipment on the horse’s back, the more comfortable it is, weight is also fundamental in the field of horse racing, where every piece of equipment used is required to be as weightless as possible so not to handicap the horse and stifle its performance. Flexibility is also fundamental; a rigid saddle pad will distort the fit of the saddle, which as explained earlier, can cause harm to the welfare of the horse.
Current relevant inventions • IB2015/053445 describes a horse saddle pad, characterized in that it comprises a stiffening layer interposed between a temperature controlling layer of paraffin, in contact with the back of the horse, and a thermoplastic layer in contact with the lower surface of a saddle • WO-2014044605 describes a horse saddle pad with a layered structure which consists of several layers of elastic elements. Each elastic element has a passageway for air circulation and moisture dissipation. • JP-2012231995 shows a horse saddle pad comprising a laminated layer of soft vinyl material which allows excellent air permeability with a positive effect in response to impacts. • GB-2474633 discloses a horse saddle pad comprising elastic memory foam with an air permeable fabric which allows heat and moisture to be dissipated.
Limitations of current inventions
Solutions proposed so far have not proved to be capable of carrying out simultaneously and/or thoroughly the following tasks: • Preventing sweat from accumulating on the horse’s back • Keeping the horse’s saddle area dry by allowing complete and uninterrupted free flow and escape of heat • Enabling this free flow of air and water whilst providing suppleness and therefore good fit to the horse’s back • Prevention of overheating of saddle area through exercise causing higher risk of injury (the importance discussed in Equine Locomotion, Second Edition by Willem Back and • Preventing the build-up of bacteria, and other negative particles accumulating on the saddle pad, saddle, and horse’s back • Remaining flexible, lightweight, and not of a thickness that may distort the fit of the saddle • Easy wash with a hose, and quick dry • Saddle pad that doesn’t slip under saddle, or cause the saddle to slip on top of it • Mimic the horse’s natural method of thermoregulation via its coat of waterproof hairs • Focus on simplicity of the materials used to minimize any allergic reaction from the horse, yet maximize the beneficial effect provided • Remain supremely lightweight
Objective of Invention
The objective of this application of saddle pad innovation is to provide all of the above simultaneously, whilst being aesthetically pleasing, and a very simple construction. Moreover the greatest objective is to ensure the maximum wellbeing of the horse when in exercise.
Description of Invention Construction and Function
This invention comprises of two simple layers of technical spacer fabric of different thickness with honeycomb exterior bound together by either cotton or soft plastic trim, with a soft spine binding of again either cotton or soft plastic to secure the materials in place. The underside of the saddle pad, which is the part that is in contact with the horse’s back is 2mm in thickness, and has a smoother, softer exterior to ensure the horse’s comfort by reducing abrasion due to the holed texture of the fabric, almost like a honeycomb. The topside of the fabric is 6mm in thickness with a more rigid exterior comprising of larger holes to enable maximum dissipation of heat and evaporation of water from the horse. This is more durable to provide a ripstop quality.
The combination of the two thicknesses of spacer fabric provides ultimate airflow opportunity to mimic the thermoregulation of the horse’s hair when not compressed by a saddle or shaved. The result is that the horse’s back is at less of a risk of over heating, and in turn injury, and the saddle is at less of a risk of being ruined by the contact with the horse’s sweat. The materials combined are not too thick or rigid, therefore minimising the distortion of the fit of the saddle, and contouring the horse’s back naturally as it sits onto it. This fabric also is supremely lightweight, simple in construction, impact protecting, quick wash, quick dry, and by preventing the build up of heat and sweat under the saddle, in turn limits the build up of bacteria.
The materials are stitched together forming a ribbed effect to both the top and underside of the pad to ensure grip to the horse’s back and to the saddle.
Spacer structures are like a sandwich, the constructions comprising of two separate nylon fabric webs joined together by spacer threads of varying rigidity. The face and back of the fabric are knitted separately and are in the form of a honeycomb effect, and at the same time they are interconnected by the monofilament yarns. This creates a bounce to the material to provide cushioning and pressure dispersement - hence seeing this fabric being used to make mattresses and cushions for wheelchairs.
It’s important to note that the airflow provided by the spacer fabric ensures the level of temperature regulation is in accordance with the horse’s excertion, replicating the natural effect of an unshaved horse’s natural coat.

Real Life Case Studies Using Invention Prototype
Currently there are no substantiated methods currently to measure the amount of sweat produced, especially in the areas covered by the harness, and there seem to be indeed no scientific studies on saddle pads to refer to. As a result we used real life case studies with a variety of horses and riders, performing a variety of exercises from gallops, to jumping, and dressage of times averaging 45 min to 60 min. The invention saddle pad 1 was used. We have provided some images to demonstrate the remarkable effect below. Tmage 1 horse has not has its coat shaved, Image 2 horse has had its coat shaved. To note horse in Image 1 used to suffer from sweat bumps on her back after being under saddle with a contemporary cotton saddle pad, where her sweat glands became blocked and irritated. It is suffice to say that when trialing the prototype invention saddle pad, Image one horse did not suffer this condition.
The Summer conditions in UK comprised of a temperature of approximately 25 degrees centigrade the pad was tested, it has also been tested in winter conditions with a temperature of approximately 5 degrees centigrade.
Results: • Horses’ backs were completely dry - contrasted to where the girth (belt across trunk of horse to secure saddle to horse) had been which was wet (demonstrated in Image 1 and 2). No foam either. • Riders were amazed at how the pad also was still dry, and if it was dirty, they could wash it immediately with a hose with success. • On average after hosing riders were reporting that the pad dried within 30mins • Competition riders were thrilled with the fact that they could use the pad on multiple horses in competition, which saved money and time • Durability - riders commented on the fact that the material on the pads sustained the “new” look even after being used, so aesthetically pleasing • No further sweating occurred due to the fact that the horse’s skin was allowed to consistently breathe throughout the exercises, preventing buildup of latent heat • The saddle pad still remained lightweight suggesting that very little water/sweat was being held by the pad, it passed straight through the permeable layers • Horses suffered no allergic reaction to the saddle pad • Riders were pleased that the saddle pad fitted to the contours of the horse’s back with no movement/slipping of either saddle pad or saddle • Riders were pleased that the saddle pad did not distort the fit of their saddle due to being overly thick • The cushioning effect of the spacer fabric absorbs and disperses pressure, providing comfort for horse and rider, a minimizes risk of injury - Dr Hilary Clayton emphasises the importance of flatter structure saddles and spreading of load to reduce pressure sores (htip://wwwA!quiiationsdence.CGMK/y^<ontenL/uplaad$/2013/10/Scienc&--in--the--saddh-·
NavU.pdft.
In conclusion the evidence suggested that this revolutionary, yet simple innovation benefitted the health and wellbeing of the horse, and protected the saddle from deterioration, as well as convenient and cost effective for the rider.
The simplicity of the materials used minimized risk of allergic reaction from the horse.
The double layer of spacer fabric is also advantageous as it absorbs the impact and compression given by the rider to the horse with his/her weight. This in turn will better protect the horse from back injury.
