• Always more comfort for your horse, this is one of the most important values ​​at GEM.
• This is why, based on a 3D memory foam shock absorber, GEM has imagined an insert in synthetic sheepskin, always respecting the non-use of animal materials.
• The sheepskin located on the withers and on the loins will prevent any friction with your horse's skin, and will add an undeniable touch of style.
• It is made of memory foam as well as 3D fabric on the exteriors. The memory foam evenly distributes the rider's weight on the horse's back while the 3D material absorbs shock.
• The yoke at the withers and back line allows you to free up these sensitive areas as much as possible.
• It is best suited to horses whose withers are slightly out and whose back is tense.

GEM shock absorbers can be washed in the washing machine at 30° but prefer to wash by hand with a small brush if possible.

Little Ohlala tips for maintaining your shock absorbers:

Machine wash:

• Before putting your shock absorber in the washing machine, use a soft brush , a cap or, best of all, a Magic Brush to remove the hairs.
• If your shock has fragile details, turn it over and place it in a wash bag to protect it.
• Use natural detergent 🧴 (but no fabric softener so our horses don't have an allergic reaction!)
• We can also slide in the LeMieux washing balls which will allow us to remove even more hair.
• We set the cycle to 30 degrees maximum.
• Do not put your shock absorber in the dryer, let it air dry.

If shock absorbers with damper:

• If your shock absorber has a sheep part, do not hesitate to use your hair dryer at a distance of 20 cm from your shock absorber to maintain the volume of the sheep as long as possible.

Leather, felt, gel and mesh shock absorbers:

• We advise you to wash your shock absorbers by hand ! A soft brush, or with a sponge, slightly dampened.
• Add Marseille soap , a little patience and here is an equally conclusive result.
• Let it air dry.
