A World First by Hennig
The MFT (Multi-Functional-Tree) is the only saddle tree with freely moving side panels. The normally rigid head iron in the saddle tree becomes flexible during load phases through our patented construction – a flexible, shock-absorbing rubber membrane – without compromising stability. The principle corresponds to independent wheel suspension in a car.
Advantages of the MFT Saddle Tree
The MFT saddle tree offers numerous benefits for horse and rider:
- Minimisation of shear forces and pressure peaks
- Optimal protection of the shoulder blade cartilage
- Side panel automatically follows muscle movement
- Absolute adjustability to the shoulder contour
- Overwhelming freedom of movement in forward and lateral motion
- Unique flexible suspension of the spring relieves the trapezius muscle
- Exceptional seat comfort through maximum suppleness
Free Back Action
The new independently suspended spring enables free, unimpeded work of the trapezius musculature and thus for the first time free back action without mechanical restriction. Lameness and resistance are avoided, bending and positioning the horse is facilitated.
