Soft panels mold in and around horses' muscles and conformation to provide them with optimum comfort. Horses and riders alike will appreciate the features of HART® technology, which include an EASY-CHANGE® gullet system to easily adjust the tree as well as a CAIR® cushion system that replaces traditional fillings with air cushions.

Elastiflex Tree:

Supported by the Easy-Change Gullet, the tree maintains clearance over the horse's wither, while possessing lateral flexion to work with the horse's muscular movement. Lightweight and durable, the Elastiflex Tree is guaranteed against breakage for the lifetime of the saddle, under normal riding conditions, deemed 10 years.

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.

Distribution of 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.
