All TACKTILITY™  saddle cloths are made from 100% premium grade Australian fleece fibre.  The cream/natural fleece fibre is of the highest grade wool while our alpaca saddle cloths are made from natural black alpaca fleece.  Undyed, UV resistant and with a host of other naturally inherent properties, they are a luxury item for both the horse and rider.

Touch is one of the most acutely developed senses in the horse.  Like humans, horses respond to pleasant tactile sensations while being very sensitive to unpleasant ones.  So developed is the horse’s nervous system, that via the skin, they have a reflex which humans lack; the panniculus reflex which is what we see when they twitch when the lightest of flies land on them.  It is crucial that any material we place against their bodies works with the horses’ own sensory system. That is why we have developed TACKTILITY™ - an innovation in style and comfort.

The feel of this fibre is comforting to the horse. The value of TACKTILITY™ increases as the horse works.  Individual wool fibre follicles wick sweat away from the horse’s skin, releasing it, preventing chaffing, heat build up and discomfort for even the most profusely sweating horse. Absorbs 30% of its own weight in fluid while feeling dry to the touch and stays looking good! The fibre is insulating and promotes air flow through the saddle cloth, working for the horse in every climatic condition.

TACKTILITY™ is a premium natural fibre allowing your leather saddle to breathe - protecting both it and your horse.  For the many riders today using synthetic saddles, this fibre is ideal too.  It is naturally anti-static, protecting your horse from irritation and shocks that so many man-made fibres cause.

While we lead the way in innovation, no saddle cloth or gadget will undo the effects of a poor fitting saddle.  For information regarding saddle fit, click here: Chrisann Ware - Equine Myofunctionalist www.equethy.com
