Why is wool better for your horse?
Wool is a natural fiber that is:
Highly absorbent. While synthetics only trap moisture between the fibers, wool actually absorbs 80% of its own weight in moisture. When your horse sweats a Wool Pad will absorb the moisture to keep the back moist but not wet.
Breathable. Wool is porous, allowing continual air circulation and release of moisture into the air.
Non slipping. Unlike any other fiber, wool has microscopic barbs that grip the hair on your animals back, reducing slippage.
