Performance Panel: 

A panel design that maximizes the square footage of contact on the horse's back. This maximizes the weight-bearing surface and results in a reduction in pressure per sq inch. Paired with a wide and even chamber, the performance panels support the horses working muscles and maximize movement in the shoulder area. 

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 Flexibloc System: 

This system enables the rider to customize the support they need for their individual riding position. These blocks are easy to move but stay put once placed. 

The CAIR® Cushion System:

The CAIR® Cushion System replaces traditional fillings in your saddle with air cushions. CAIR® air cushion technology provides significant performance advantages in the way it distributes the rider’s weight and cushions the horse’s back.

Distributes the rider’s weight: Under the rider’s weight the air cushions continually mold to mirror the horse’s individual conformation and working muscles. This ensures a close, even contact over a much larger weight-bearing area and eliminates instances of pressure points.

Cushioning the horse’s back: The dynamic nature of air ensures it works in synergy with the horse’s muscles, rather than the horse’s muscles working against a static medium. Additionally, air provides the ultimate shock absorption, reducing instances of trauma to the horse’s muscles in work.

Your horse will show a marked improvement in its freedom of movement, expression, and self-carriage, as the CAIR® Cushion ensures its absolute comfort.

The EASY-CHANGE® Fit Solution:

Your saddle can be custom-fitted to your horse’s changing shape in minutes! 

The EASY-CHANGE® Fit Solution puts your horse’s comfort first. Enjoy the peace of mind in knowing that your saddle offers full adjustability and is able to meet the changing needs of your horse.
