We have been successfully using this therapy on our horses for some time now. Recent application with careful symmetry monitoring with the Equestic Clip has revealed significant results which confirm observations both from the ground and in the saddle.

This stallside system might benefit horses with acute and chronic inflammatory synovitis.

I am proud to be a supporter yet again. Go Team!

Thanks to Gardy Bloemers of The Bloemers Campbell Group for helping sponsor Team Merrill Lynch. She said she supports the Challenge "because it touches so many people’s lives in so many positive ways - both during the event and through the breast cancer research it supports." Gardy has been helping the fight to end breast cancer for many years and we love having her work alongside us and join in the fun.

Unsere AMERIGO - Sattelkollektion hat aufregende Verstärkung bekommen:

Den neuen Selva-Dressursattel mit dem innovativen SUPPORT PANEL SYSTEM!
Der neue Holz-Stahl-Federbaum wurde eigens konzipiert um Ihnen einen Sattel speziell für den hohen Dressursport zu präsentieren ohne jedoch gegen die sprichwörtlichen AMERIGO-Prinzipien zum Wohle von Pferd und Reiter zu verstoßen.
Unser SELVA Dressursattel profitiert von einem neu entwickelten Wollkissen (SUPPORT PANEL), welches dem gesamten Schultergürtel des Pferdes maximale Bewegungsfreiheit erlaubt und zugleich eine optimale Gewichtsverteilung gewährleistet.

Die dynamisch ausgelegte Form des Satttelbaumes erlaubt Bewegungsfreiheit und direkteste Hilfengebung ohne Ruhe und Ästhetik in der Sitzposition des Reiters zu stören. Die neue aufgesetzte Oberschenkelpausche ist präzise auf das Gesamt-konzept des Sattels abgestimmt und harmoniert perfekt mit maximaler Beinfreiheit und optimalem Gleichgewicht.

We have been using this valuable tool at the farm since July 2021. Some things stick and some things don’t. Time tells all and we have really integrated these analytics to help us better understand how our riding, care and equipment impacts our horses and what we ask them to do.
