I wanted to let you know that the white hairs are
caused by pressure points from your saddle. These pressure points block
arterial blood flow to that area. Any heat buildup from using the wrong
pad will exacerbate the problem. The white hairs indicate this problem and
if not corrected will lead to gall spots and without treatment turn into
collagen bumps which are subcutaneous tumors. The typical treatment for
these tumors has been to freeze them or burn them out and then wait for them to
reappear.
So what do you do.? You need a good saddle
pad that doesn't cause heat buildup and pressure points. I use and
recommend the Equipedic Saddle Pad. What makes this pad different are the
fibers used. The Conforpedic inserts when warmed by your horses body flow
under your saddle thus eliminating pressure points unlike gel pads that are
encased in an impermeable bladder that not only can not breath and
dissipate any heat but also gets denser and harder as the gel is pushed
away.
The Holofiber used in the Equipedic Pad has been
proven to increase oxygenated blood flow up to 30% eliminating white
spots. It can actually help to reverse white hairs by its capacity to
increase the blood flow.
So the benefits of the Equipedic Saddle Pad are an
increased blood flow in your horses back, lowers the body surface temperature of
your horse, and helps eliminate saddle fit problems and pressure points that
lead to white spots and scaring.
Hope this helps. If you have any questions,
please feel free to give me a call or visit my website for more
