WHAT ’ S NEW
NEW Eco-Friendly Saddle Pads Launched with Vibrant Designs for a Fresh New Look
Paladin , a new global equestrian brand founded by Briton , Ginny Brayn-Smith , launches this month with an inaugural collection of vibrant general purpose , full size saddle pads . Designed to empower the fashion-forward and eco-conscious horse rider , Paladin was born from a desire to marry the concepts of style and sustainability with a product that really performs for horse and rider .
Working with designers to pioneer distinctive new , design-led prints that fit perfectly around the saddle , the debut collection is now available online . The range showcases five signature designs : The Flamingo on White , The Flamingo on Blue , The Banana Leaf , The Peacock Feather and The Geometric Jungle Print .
“ The debut collection is inspired by my time living in Southeast Asia - a celebration of its exotic wildlife and nature is married with bold geometric prints and vibrant pops of colour to represent the region ’ s eclectic cultures . The designs will bring confidence and motivation to riders of all levels .” Says founder , Ginny .
The outer lining of each pad is made using more than 15 recycled 1 litre plastic bottles and the pads are filled with Bamboo Fibre , which is not only one of the most eco-friendly resources on the planet but also known to be incredibly wicking , absorbing up to 300 % more water ( or sweat !) than cotton .
Ginny commented “ We are so excited to launch Paladin Equestrian , named after my very first wonder pony as a teenage girl . I wanted to invoke all the fun and excitement that I had with Paladin into this brand for the next generation of amateur horse riders . The industry has been craving an injection of exciting fashion - and we ’ re proud that Paladin ’ s creation of playful and vibrant accessories support eco-conscious lifestyles
We look forward to innovating new equestrian products in the future including matchy-matchy sets , a dressage collection , a Paladin petite collection !”
