Product Details
Caring for New Luxe Leather:
Due to the more natural properties of Luxe Leather, these saddles may require additional dressing to prevent moisture loss and to protect the leather, particularly in high areas of wear. Treated in this manner, your new saddle will achieve the traditional, rich patina of aged, worked leather and you can expect years of excellent service from your saddle.
Technology:
- SweetSpot: Effortlessly puts the rider in a neutral position, poised for take-off in perfect alignment with a seamless ultra-narrow and close contact.
- Adjustable Flexibloc System: Enables the rider to customize the support offered for their individual riding position.
- Synergy Panels with CAIR: Low profile, stable, and close fitting with the ultimate protective cushioning and shock absorption of air, resulting in pressure reduction and improved blood flow for the horse. Includes wither freedom design.
- Elastiflex Tree: Supported by an Easy-Change gullet, the tree features a ridgid 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.
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.
