What Makes VIP Unique
We get asked a lot - What makes the VIP different?
VIPs raw material is so unique. It is called VEteq. It is usually found in the human medical industry. It is not a gel but a viscoelastic polymer. On a molecular level the raw material looks like honeycomb. Under pressure regardless of what forces are applied, our bobble design ensures uniform thickness and no bottoming out. Foams, memory foams and wool can deform over time in response to a riders weight and horses way of going- this can have further deleterious effect the straightness of the horse and symmetry of the rider. VIP is ultra-durable and retains amazing protective properties.
The VIP is a great interface between horse and rider. Scientific testing puts VIP first in class for reduction in both peak and mean force (impact), for temperature regulation and reduced friction (sheer force). It is not sticky can be used directly on the horses back or between saddle and saddle cloth. At 8mm it does not alter saddler fit, in fact 90% of our stockists are physiotherapists, saddlers and veterinary surgeons, recommending VIP worldwide, as they are seeing massive improvements in their clients’ horses’ softness in the back and an improved willingness to go forward. We have received many endorsements from professional and amateur riders for protection, prevention and cure of back and gait VIP’s VEteq is unique:
Maintains shape under extreme and prolonged compression
Soft, flexible and seamless with no pressure causing trims
Moulds to your horses back like a low profile second skin
A thin film gullet eliminates pressure on the horse’s spine
Only 8mm thick so does not alter your saddle fit
Bobbles increase surface area, alleviating pressure points and evenly distributing weight
Non-sticky, does not cause friction or pluck hair when removed
Rigorously tested worldwide in 40 years of scientific research
Universally trusted in human clinical and sporting settings for its superior pressure relieving, impact and sheer force reducing qualities
Draws and disperses heat from the horses back, regulating temperature
Hypoallergenic, easily cleanable and does not support bacterial growth
