Fleeceworks FXK technology provides comprehensive relief for the withers and spine. Cross-elastic allows for vertical give of the pad through the topline. These anatomically correct, versatile pads are available in options for Close Contact, All Purpose and Dressage.
Fleeceworks' patent pending FXK technology is quite simple: A durable cross elastic band (elastic that stretches vertically rather than horizontally) effectively acts as a shock absorber, taking the rotational pull off the shoulder before any pressure can reach the sensitive spine and wither areas.
The horse’s shoulder movement can pull a normal pad down so that it lies quite taut over the withers and some area of the spine. In the worst cases; this can create pressure points at the base the withers, of cutting off blood flow.
A traditional cut out wither relief pad still has a beginning point and an end point, both of which lie over potentially sensitive areas, and can cause pressure points. The traditional wither cutout also does not take into consideration each horse's individual conformation, and will not work for every horse.
The solution? We are so glad you asked! To comprehensively protect your horse’s entire topline, the answer is FXK.
