Trapez shape
The Balaïtous couveton is shaped like a trapezium to respect the morphology of the animal.
It is therefore wider at the back than at the front, so the lower edge remains parallel to the ground when the Couveton is placed on the animal.
Aesthetically, it’s much nicer.
Half-moon
A half-moon covers the withers so that the carpet does not wrinkle.
The Couveton is made up of two thick, breathable cotton cloths, the upper cloth being larger than the lower cloth so that the felt slides easily inside without wrinkles.
This particular construction also leaves a tourniquet in the fabric to facilitate ventilation and the natural evacuation of perspiration.
Non-return slipper
Some animals (perhaps 1 in 20) have what is known as a ‘camel step’. In other words, they wriggle their pelvis with each step. The result is that the carpet shifts one step to the right, one step to the left and ends up sliding backwards.
Here’s the trick the Randoline team came up with to combat this phenomenon: sew a sort of sock to the front of the carpet, where the first pad of the pack-saddle is locked in place.
