Winderen half pads?

[Shinx]

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone has tried the Winderen half pads that keep coming up in my Facebook ads. They're eye-wateringly expensive but they're also quite attractive, and not too much more than the VIP pads. Wondering if they're worth the price? I'd probably be looking at the thin dressage ones.

My young horse has one and seems to like it. It is better for high withers than a VIP.

Thanks lme! Do you have the thin one or the thicker one?

I have the thicker one. I also have a VIP (which is very thin) and an Olgivy (which is thick but made of squishy memory foam). The Winderen is somewhere in the middle in thickness. It’s quite stiff when not on a horse but softens in use.

Poron XRD is firm, but a thin layer, and really firm in cold weather. Does a great job but I'm not familiar with the Winderen as an overall design, saw one once. Related post here https://forums.horseandhound.co.uk/threads/shock-absorbing-half-pads.814963/#post-14830887
