Your saddle is not a miracle worker. If your horse is a barrel, and there is a bit of wonkiness somewhere (you or the horse) and your saddle slips to the side… your saddle isn’t necessarily to blame. Instead, get it checked and if it’s ok, work on making the horse less of a barrel shape… and straightening them (and yourself!) up so there is less unevenness.

If your horse has big wide ribs and an itty bitty shoulder… or a girth groove that’s inches in front of the girth line… maybe your saddle slips forward. That’s physics. Your girth will always pull into the narrowest place. Sometimes changing your girth or the girthing on the saddle can help.

If your horse has massive shoulders, and hoiks them up into the air when they jump… those massive shoulders can push the saddle back. That’s physics. Again sometimes girths and girthing can help. But saddles can’t defy the laws of physics.

If you or your horse is uneven then yes we can pad/flock/shim saddles to help. But… working on evening them up is much more beneficial.

Sometimes, in an attempt to hold a saddle still, to fight against the laws of physics (and often to keep the rider happy), we can end up clamping a saddle too much. Personally I would rather see a saddle shunt forward/to the side/backwards a little bit if the alternative is to clamp it too much the other way.
What do you think?

SAFETY

- Patented "Look" automatic release system at the buckle. The stirrup disengages from the stirrup leather during certain falls, while remaining intact, to reduce the risk of being dragged.



COMFORT

- Natural inclination of the floor by an ideal angulation and positioning of the foot relieving the joints.

- Vibration and shock absorption thanks to the high performance TPE sole under the rigid floor.

- Perpendicular buckle for easy fitting and allows the stirrup strap to lie flat on the saddle quarter.

BALANCE

- Dynamic compensation system by absorbing movement through the rotation of the buckle, providing greater stability and fixity.

PERCEPTION

- Optimal grip thanks to the wide, bevelled floor that relieves the flat of the foot.

- Ideal grip with 2 rows of steel studs for complete grip.

- Optimized weight for performance (440 grams/clip).

- Floor width: 12cm

- No minimum weight for the rider
