Product Details
Elastiflex Tree:
Supported by the Easy-Change Gullet, this tree features a rigid head to maintain clearance over the horse's wither, while possessing lateral flexion to work with the horse's muscular movement. This tree is lightweight and durable. The Elastiflex Tree is guaranteed against breakage for the lifetime of the saddle, under normal riding conditions, deemed 10 years.
Adjustable Flexiboc System:
The unique Adjustable Flexibloc System enables the rider to individually tailor thigh and knee support, while the ergonomically contoured flaps offer a pre-molded "ridden-in" shape for an immediate contoured fit.
EASY-CHANGE™ Gullet System:
Easy-Change™ Gullet System Sold Separately. This saddle comes with a medium gullet plate.
The EASY-CHANGE™ Gullet System offers a means of altering the width of the tree. The tree width is determined by the size of gullet plate fitted between the tree points. The gullet plate governs the width of the tree from the twist to the tree points. Genuine EASY-CHANGE™ Gullet Plates are engineered to be completely rigid, ensuring they cannot spread, or change shape under normal usage. Gullet plates are color coded by size and will remain true to their size throughout their life.
CAIR® Cushion System:
Finally a panel system that understands the mechanics of the equine back and the impact saddles have on horse and rider performance! The revolutionary CAIR® Cushion System replaces the traditional fillings in your saddle panel with air. There are two independently sealed Air Cushions within each Saddle Panel. The concept of air, as the ultimate in cushioning for the horse is simple:
Air being a fluid medium will constantly adapt to the horse’s working muscles. This means that your weight will be distributed evenly across the entire length of the cushion, virtually eliminating pressure points. This extraordinary comfort results in freer movement, better carriage and a happier horse. For such a simple concept, the dramatic difference the CAIR®Cushion System makes to a horse’s comfort and performance is profound.
The CAIR Panel System has undergone a rigorous testing program to ensure durability. CAIR air panels have been subjected to a series of tests equivalent to in excess of 10,000 hours riding time in the saddle.
