Hello All!

I am pleased to announce the addtion of three new saddles to our range. All new for 2012

“Freedom Trail” Long Distance/Endurance saddle

•     This world class, Walsall Made Saddle is an incredibly comfortable saddle, perfect for those long Trail rides and all related Endurance disciplines!
•    In the “Freedom Trail” saddles beautifully quilted seat, we use the latest cutting edge materials, making this one of, if not THE, worlds most comfortable Endurance saddles.
•    But this saddle is not only comfortable for the rider, it is also as comfortable as it’s possible to get for the horse too! Why? Because of the Contour Master™ wide panel… The cutting edge panels are made up of of layers of felt, foam and layers of Latex rubber which has incredibly high pressure absorbing properties.

The Contour Master™ Wide Panel absorbs pressure, ensuring the horse is free from discomfort and thereby improving performance immensely. You can see in Fig 1, In the diagrams above, the traditional panel and how it sits on the horse. Fig 2 shows the Contour Master™ Wide Panel which is designed to put more panel on the horses back and therefore spreading the bodyweight of the rider and their chosen attached Endurance kit.  This creates even pressure and eliminates the pressure points, and other issues, that cause so many back problems in our horses. The Contour Master™ Wide Panel, a truly innovitive idea that is perfect for Endurance and the long distances undertaken in this challenging discipline. The Contour Master™ Panel adjusts to every contour of the horses back and are also used in our “Free Spirit Dressage/Endurance saddle”

•    The Freedom Trail is built on a symmetrical Tree, made by Lightwood, one of the UK’s Premier Saddle Tree Manufacturers. This tree can be altered by us, to make it wider or narrower, as the horse changes shape throughout the year.
•    This saddle is made with a wide gullet/channel to enable horses to swing through their backs, this improves engagement and stops the panel interfering with spinal processes or musculature of the horse’s back.
•    Made with the finest English leather, which feels already broken in, soft and comfortable and is pre oiled, stunning quality leather!
•    Colours are Black and Dark Havana Brown or 2Tone black and brown. Other colours may be available on request.
•    All the usual Endurance saddle fittings, in Solid Brass, are attached to this saddle.
•     Another fantastic addition to the Freedom Trail Endurance saddle is the self adjustable saddle/girth straps/billets. This allows you to alter the first and middle strap, to your prefered position (see photograph)
•     Our Endurance Saddles are Custom made for the following Endurance Horses… Arabians, Arabs, Missouri Foxtrotter, Spanish Mustang, gaited horses, Morgans, Single Foot Horses, Tennessee Walker, Thoroughbred TB’s, Trakehners, Standardbreds, Quarter Horses, Paint, morab’s, Bashkir curlie, Paso Fino’s etc
