Its functions

• The Impact Correction shock absorber is used to improve the fit and balance of the saddle. This shock absorber is perfect for young horses or horses whose body shape changes a lot, because you can constantly correct the position of the saddle on the horse's back.
• The shock absorber has a damping function to filter out any irregularities during the session thus giving the horse and rider a better experience.
• With a more suitable saddle and the shocks are absorbed, the horse's muscles feel relieved and can then move more freely. The rider will benefit from a more stable saddle which has multiple ergonomic advantages.

How the shock absorber works

• Thanks to the 6 felt inserts you can completely adjust the shock absorber to the needs of the horse's back. The saddle will thus be more suitable and the horse's back will benefit in the long term.
• To absorb shock, we not only used layers of felt, but we also provided the shock absorber with shock-absorbing memory foam and our 3D Spacer material. The 3D Spacer is made of a shock-absorbing gel that absorbs all impacts while using the saddle.
• Using these exceptional materials, we have created a corrective shock absorber that is 20-30% lighter than most other shock absorbers available on the market. Not only is the shock absorber lighter than others, but it will also improve the communication between you and your horse, as the saddle fits better and keeps you in close contact.

What's inside

• The correction shock absorber has 3 pockets on each side filled with 3 layers of felt of different thicknesses (2mm, 3mm and 4mm). Layers can be combined or used separately depending on the correction you need, ranging from 2mm to 9mm. To minimize saddle pressure and maximize shock absorption, the shock absorber is supplied with 10mm memory foam.
• This memory foam is known for its protection in the military and for extreme sports, this will provide the best protection for your horse's back. Thanks to the cushioning effect of the 3D Spacer, the correction shock absorber is very breathable and air permeable to prevent the horse's back from overheating.
• The withers cup is made of artificial leather and provides great comfort by reducing pressure on the horse's spine. To ensure the position of the shock absorber during the session, the shock absorber is equipped with an anti-slip silicone pattern.

For optimal results, it is advisable to consult a saddler, an osteopath or a veterinarian to adjust the wedges to the correct thickness.

First remove the layers of felt inside the shock absorber.
You can then machine wash it at 30 degrees. Then let it air dry.

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.
