To keep the saddle as still as possible under the rider (shoulder clearance), the gullet steel must be adapted in angle and length to the shoulder structure of the horse. Custom-made saddle trees have a wide channel with broad saddle panels, giving the swinging back more freedom of movement.
Through specially crafted knee rolls, it is ensured that the rider achieves an optimal seat. The centre of balance of the saddle is aligned so that the sacral-seat axis of the rider comes to act in the area of the vertically positioned spinous processes. Regardless of seat size, the saddle length is matched to the horse’s back.
Depending on growth and training progress, the shoulder and withers area changes. With our saddles, this can be adjusted at any time by narrowing or widening the forged gullet steel. The size and weight of the rider determine the degree of firmness, flexibility and seat length of the saddle tree.
Do you have further questions about our saddles or our service? We are happy to advise you personally – by telephone or during a visit on-site.
