The Rodrigo Pony Saddle is the ideal saddle for the serious young rider. When Nelson Pessoa started teaching his young son, Rodrigo, he discovered that most pony saddles were simply downsized adult saddles. To make riding easier, Nelson adjusted the seat by making the twist and width suitable for a young person's body. He spent weeks measuring ponies backs and testing trees and panels to find the ideal combination for both rider and pony. Well suited for the show ring, the Rodrigo Pony saddle with smooth knee pads is both beautiful and durable, providing young riders with a comfortable, balanced position.OakbarkHand finished leatherCowhide seat and knee rollsPencil knee rollNo thigh blockBayflex panelsAbout Bayflex Panels: Bayflex is a type of memory flex polyurethane which has been specifically designed for padding purposes by BAYER®. Bayflex is an extremely versatile material that can adjust itself to different pressures and maintain its protection without losing its shape. Because it is a specialty padding, it is able to provide ultimate cushioning without bulk. Bayflex does not bottom out, heat up or cause sore spots on the horse's back. The panels will adjust to a horse's back providing even contact and pressure, then spring back when removed, making this system ideal for those who ride multiple horses or those who prefer an ultra close contact.About Pessoa Trees: Classical riders like Nelson Pessoa know exactly where the rider's weight should fall on the horse's back. Hardly a new revelation, but it was Nelson who first designed a tree that would allow the saddle to help the rider find that position. Like coming back home again, every Pessoa saddle encourages riders to find their perfect sweet spot of balance. The tree is the Heart of the Saddle, and Pessoa's flexible carbon fiber spring tree brings a new dimension of closeness with your horse. Wooden trees have very little lateral flexion and are prone to breaking. Plastic trees typically have no suspension and can hurt the horse's back. Carbon fiber is very lightweight, but incredibly strong and is molded with polymers specially designed by Dupont® to provide flexibility without losing resistance. Pessoa is so confident in the strength and integrity of their trees that they warranty them for 100 years!
