Dressage is one of the key and interesting components of horse-riding. Requiring a lot of practice and consistent work, dressage involves the horse and its rider performing an impressive series of predetermined figures or movements recollecting from memory. Mastering the skill of dressage demands of the horse-rider to spend long hours at riding. This means you need to be as comfortable as possible while riding at the back of the horse, if you want to keep up with your practice for dressage. Also it’s not only about you, the horse too needs to be equipped appropriately to support fluid movements with comfort. If honing on dressage skill is indeed on your agenda, then you should buy dressage numnah to help and ease out your preparation. Dressage numnahs are like saddle pads that slip right underneath the saddle and are beneficial for the horses as well as the horse-riders. Numnah is usually shaped around the saddle, only a little larger, so its edges will be slightly visible when placed under the saddle.
5 Important Benefits of Using Dressage Numnahs:
Here are a couple of reasons why you need to buy numnah: 1. It helps in improving the longevity of your precious saddle by protecting it against sweat and dirt. 2. Numnah is also considered an important aid in protecting the horse’s back, since it acts as a padding underneath the saddle thus preventing it from rubbing on the horse’s back and causing injuries and sores. 3. It acts as a shock absorber, something that both you and your horse would appreciate. During vigorous horse-riding practice, numnah will come in handy in preventing your horse’s back muscles from getting tired due to continuous shocks. You too will find your riding experience better with a comfortable dressage numnah. PAGE 02

4. Some numnahs also come with pockets where corrective shims made of memory foam and other materials of the like can be fitted into. The purpose of these shims is to correct a saddle that is improperly shaped for your horse’s back. The reasons for the saddle not matching the horse’s back could be any, due to muscle damage or muscle growth or if using the saddle on a horse whose back is differently shaped from the saddle’s design. In either case, numnahs with space for shims are a good option to temporarily fix the problem. 5. Owing to a variety of thickness in which numnahs are available, they can be used to offer your horse with extra warmth and comfort during the cold winter months. When buying a dressage numnah, you should take care of a couple of things. Try using the ones that are made from natural material like wool. Natural fabrics allow better air circulation and are less probable to cause any adverse allergic reactions as compared to the synthetic fabrics. Also measure up your saddle prior to buying so as to ensure that you have the right shape and size of the numnah for the saddle.
