We were often asked for them - and now NuuMed have the HiWither half numnah with shimmy pads (NM04ASS) and the HiWither half wool shimmy numnah (NM08AS) in their range.
Both the HiWither half numnah and the HiWither half wool numnah come with two shimmies for use in the front pocket and one for the back pocket - and are ideal for use when fitting saddles and for use as the horse changes shape when the alternative is to have the saddle reflocked.
The half shimmy pad is made in a hardwearing polycotton with a memory foam inner and short NuuMed wool on the underside - as does the full numnah which also has a 5oz quilt on the flap.
And as well as being extremely effective - both numnahs are also very versatile as they can be used without the pads giving the rider two pads in one which equals real value for money!
Griffin NuuMed are sponsoring the 2008 NuuMed Potential International Dressage Horse Championships.
NuuMed have signed a three year deal with British Dressage to sponsor the competition which was won last year by Jo Barry on Lady Hope’s five year old Vivaldi.
Any four or five year old horse above 14.2hh is eligible to take part and there are 15 qualifiers held around the country during April to August with the final at the National Dressage Championships at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire in September.
The competition format is different to most dressage events in that the horses do not perform a dressage test, but compete in a class similar to a show hack class although the horses are not stripped or ridden by the judges. There are separate classes for four and five year olds – and at the finals it is the winners and runners up of the two age groups who go forward into the championship decider.
NuuMed sponsor their first British Eventing horse trialsGriffin NuuMed are the main sponsors of the BE Pontispool Horse Trials on May 25/25 2008 at Pontispool Equine Sports Centre.
The event has three sections running over the two days: Intro, Pre Novice and Novice and the organisers are expecting big entries.
There are a lot of people involved at all levels of eventing who use NuuMed numnahs and saddlepads for all three phases and although the Company is involved in product sponsorship with individual riders this is their first main event sponsorship.
