Materials

The materials used in each NuuMed item are selected to ensure :

-optimum product performance

- maximum product longevity

- first class product appearance

We use a variety of materials across the NuuMed range - all chosen for a specific reason to ensure each saddlepad, numnah or accessory can perform as it should.

Among the materials used, two of the key components British Wool and the PolyCotton Quilt have various options:

- British Wool. NuuMed use 4 different thicknesses and 2 different lengths across the product range. All the wool is of the same quality and is all from the same source - but it is knitted to different thicknesses for use in specific products.

- PolyCotton Quilt. NuuMed uses a number of different densities, each selected for optimum performance coupled with achieving a different look or feel to a product.

And among other materials, the binding has been chosen because it is very hard wearing yet kind to a horse's skin - and the thread is top quality to help ensure a product achieves maximum longevity.

We still purchase all of our raw materials in the UK - something we are keen to continue for as long as possible - and we work with our suppliers to make sure the quality of their products is consistent so that you know every NuuMed saddlepad is made to the same standard year after year.
