One of the most overlooked items in a
rider's wardrobe is the least visible but can become the bane of
one's life. Yes we are talking UNDERWEAR! We take a look at the Derriere Equestrian Performance Padded Panty
to discover why riders find this product invaluable to their comfort,
performance and their sanity!
We frequently put our horses’ needs
before our own and provide them with high quality equipment to
maximise their comfort. We spend more time getting our horses
comfortable than ourselves! Endless saddle fittings and alterations,
new saddles, new saddle cloth, bigger bit, thinner bit, fatter bit,
gel pads, poll guards, boots, bandages, summer rug, under-rug,
heavyweight rug, hood … the list just goes on.
DERRIERE EQUESTRIAN PERFORMANCE
PADDED PANTY – International Brand Leading product
|
It clearly is time to address our own
comfort whilst in the saddle. After all, it has been demonstrated and
reported that appropriately selected underwear can in
fact, affect a rider’s position and performance.
When a rider is comfortable in the
saddle, even at a subconscious level, they will ride with a deeper,
more effective, symmetrical seat.
The more comfortable and higher
performing the padding is, the greater energy savings and better
posture for the horse rider. On the contrary, discomfort can cause
the rider to move in the saddle while trying to readjust their
posture, interrupting the harmony between the horse and rider.
Carl Hester MBE Brand Ambassador for Derriere Equestrian products
believes in the underwear to such a level, he is famously quoted as
saying “Every
Rider Should Be Wearing Them”
At an International workshop
held at the Animal Health Trust in Newmarket, Dr Sue
Dyson shared her clinical observations on the complexities of the
diagnostic procedure when evaluating a possible role of the saddle
and/or rider in cases that are presented for clinical evaluation of lameness,
back pain or other performance problems. Dr Dyson’s studies showed a
comparison of the saddle position and symmetry of riders may point to
a primary problem in the way the horse has been ridden and trained.
Furthermore, an intrinsically unbalanced or asymmetrical rider
position may contribute to the development of equine back pain. Dr
Dyson’s insights show that the horse is sometimes the source of
problems that are manifest as asymmetries in the position of the
rider, a highlighting point as to why all riders should select their
undergarments carefully.
Ill-fitting underwear can cause great
discomfort, including wedgies, rubbing, chafing, abrasions and last
but not least cause the dreaded VPL (visible panty line).
So you may have been considering your
new season equestrian wardrobe, new breeches, skins, competition
clothing, riding boots, half chaps, even down to your socks! Let us
ask you one question “When
did you last look for decent underwear for riding?” Maybe,
like many, you gave up long ago and resorted to finding your own
alternatives ... such as boy's undies, cycle shorts, or, even going
commando!
The dreaded VPL factor:
Derrieres are the best for VPL minimisation This will depend on the
fit of the underwear and the fabric of your jodhpurs. With the
appropriate size fitting your Derrieres will be your perfect
secret!
