BIOMEDICAL student at Ulster University, Joanna Jurek, is seeking the help of riders and vets on her new Padsmarts product. The Polish native and horse-riding enthusiast is currrently working on a prototype which is adapter-like pads that aim to improve saddle fit for horses.

Joanna, who is aiming to have her product out before Easter, is very interested in hearing from interested show jumpers, dressage riders or leisure riders as well as equine veterinary surgeons who might be willing to advise on any relevant health aspects.
