What is Poron® Material?
Poron® XRD is an advanced microcellular polyurethane foam developed by Rogers Corporation. What makes it exceptional is the combination of being incredibly lightweight while delivering superior shock absorption—absorbing up to 90% of impact force. Unlike traditional padding materials, Poron®'s unique molecular structure will not break down over time, providing the same level of protection ride after ride, year after year.
This high-performance material is the same technology used in professional athletic padding and protective gear. Its open-cell structure allows it to remain flexible and breathable while instantly responding to impact. When force is applied, Poron® absorbs and disperses the energy rather than transferring it through to your horse's back and shoulders.
Saddle Pads with Poron® XRD
For saddle pads, Poron® XRD is superior to gel-based alternatives for two key reasons: impact resistance and weight. Gel pads add significant bulk and weight to your setup, which can fatigue your horse over long rides. Poron® delivers equal or better shock absorption at a fraction of the weight—keeping your horse lighter on their feet and more agile. Additionally, gel tends to displace under pressure rather than absorbing it, while Poron® actively absorbs and disperses impact energy. Our OrthoRide™ saddle pads strategically place Poron® XRD inserts where your horse needs protection most—reducing pressure on withers, protecting shoulders during barrel racing turns, and cushioning the impact when team ropers dally. The result is a more comfortable, relaxed horse that performs better because they're not anticipating pain.
