Product Details
Adjustable Flexibloc System: Enables the rider to customize the support offered for their individual riding position.
Elastiflex Tree: Supported by an Easy-Change gullet, the tree features a rigid head to maintain clearance over the withers while possessing lateral flexion to work with the horse's movement. Precision-engineered to be lightweight, symmetrical, and ultra-durable.
Adjustable Ergonomic Stirrup Bar: Allows the rider to alter the position of the stirrup bar for complete control of their riding position. The stirrup channel is also recessed for closer contact.
EASY-CHANGE™ Gullet System:
EASY-CHANGE™ Gullets 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:
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 mould 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.
