As the name reveals, this ”saddle” is an innovative combination of a saddle and a pad, uniting the best from both Worlds:
– a supportive straightened up seat, as in a saddle
– a very flexible tree allowing the rider to feel and follow the movements across the back of the horse in motion, as in a pad
Innovate is built on a new high-tech tree – the L-tree. The L-tree has no metal- or wooden parts to stiffen the tree, making it super flexible. However, it is still possible to change the gullet and to get the saddle with either latex or wool panels, ensuring the possibility of getting a perfect fit. Four different gullet sizes are available.
Even though Innovate may look like a regular saddle, beware that it offers limited weight distribution – as known from a treeless saddle.
