The dynamic saddle tree's flexibility enables the saddle to move with the horse's morphology when in action. The composite fibers ensure the utmost precision in transmitting information: henceforth, we can talk of the reactivity of the saddle itself. These fibers are extraordinarily flexible and adapt themselves perfectly to the constraints of the saddle under extreme conditions. The semi-deep seat gives a good support and a good guideline to the rider's pelvis, whilst restraining the center of gravity's mobility. The rider is offered a refined close contact. For the horse : The wide panels are concave and integrated to allow a better pressure distribution of the saddle along the horse's back. These panels have been studied to be positioned and fixed in such a way that the horse's spine remains entirely untouched. The three point girthing system ensures the saddle's stability and good position to prevent from nasty pressure points on the horse's back whilst moving. The saddle opening is increased around the shoulders to free up the horse's movements when in action. For the rider : The integrated panels offer a refined close contact that enables the rider to have precise actions as he can feel the horse move under him. The close contact has been worked on with a lower cut of the saddle flap around the stirrup bars so that there is only one layer of leather under the skirt. The sweat flap has also been cut higher to contribute to developing the close contact. The saddle seat is very comfortable with its layer of gel. The flaps are reinforced behind the rider's leg with carbon to help maintain the leg perfectly in position. The stirrup leather surcingles are positioned lower on the reinforced carbon in the flap to reduce the angle between the stirrup, the stirrup bar and the stirrup surcingle, to have less substance under the skirt. The pommel is widened with a thicker strip of foam that overlaps on both sides of the pommel to support the rider's abductors. Every cut piece of leather of this high quality saddle has been sanded, dyed, then varnished for a soft touch. The cantle is made of carbon to avoid the leather to get worn. The blocks are fixed onto hard vegetable-dyed leather for a sharp cut without tearing. Long buckle-guards are sewn to preserve the underneath of the saddle flap from rubbing with the girth buckles.
