Key Features and Options

Designed for Optimal Shoulder Freedom

This saddle features a very long tree point and an innovative double V girthing system, which work together to remove pressure from the horse’s shoulders. This design allows for optimal shoulder rotation, accommodating even the largest front-leg movements of gaited horses. By freeing the shoulders, the saddle promotes a natural, expressive gait and enhances overall performance.

Very Wide Gullet for Maximum Comfort

The extra-wide gullet ensures close contact with the horse's back while eliminating any interference with the spine or dorsal ligaments. This thoughtful design relieves unwanted pressure, allowing the horse’s back to remain strong and supple, which is crucial for supporting larger, more fluid movements.

Wide Weight-Bearing Panels

The saddle's extra-wide panels distribute the rider’s weight evenly across the horse’s back, reducing pressure points and ensuring stability and comfort. This design allows the horse’s back to move freely, encouraging relaxation, balance, and a more natural range of motion.

Double V Billeting System

The double V billeting system is engineered to provide consistent pressure along the panels and the horse’s back while freeing the tricep muscles. By eliminating pressure on the shoulders, this system allows for greater forelimb range of motion and encourages the horse to engage the hindquarters and lift through the back. This quiet, balanced fit supports both the horse’s comfort and performance.

Customizable Features for Rider Comfort

Seat Depth Options: Choose from medium, deep, or extra-deep seat depths to match your preferred level of support and balance.

Custom Flap Length

The flap length can be tailored to fit the rider’s leg length and anatomy, ensuring a personalized and comfortable ride.
