Scientifically developed and delivering a remarkable feeling of synchronicity and ‘oneness’ between horse and rider.

• The deformable knee block is slightly higher and slightly more tilted providing a different interface option for the rider’s leg to the World Class I
• The block incorporates a shock-absorbing element that accommodates the forward movement of the knee – the optimal level of support without restriction.
• To fine tune the leg support further, thanks to a quick and easy adjustment, the flap can be tilted through three different positions to move the block in relation to the rider’s thigh
• Softer seat for rider feel-appeal
• The Prolite-lined full panel has additional strengthening built into the top to maximise saddle stability
• The World Class Dressage saddles are the only saddles to be scientifically tested with pressure mapping under the saddle and under the rider, combined with simultaneous two-dimensional and three-dimensional analysis of both horse and rider.
• Luxurious, super-grippy calf leather

Patent: GB2515079

Developed to maximise synchronicity between riders and horses with an ‘uphill’ conformation. This dressage saddle allows the rider to feel more balanced and ‘at one’ with their horse. The horse is able to move freely and improve his performance, thanks to a combination of the patented Fairfax Performance Panel and the rider’s improved position.

The design means that the knee has room to function effectively, allowing the rider’s body to absorb the force of the horse’s movement and allowing the pelvis to remain in a neutral position for longer.

• Deep rear, and slim front, gussets to provide a perfectly balanced platform for the rider on a horse with ‘uphill’ conformation.
• The knee block is constructed of multiple layers, including a shock-absorbing element that allows it to accommodate the forward movement of the rider’s knee.
• This configurations offers the optimal level of rider support without restriction.
• The symmetry and balance of the rider’s seat is improved when the pelvis is neutral.
• Eight physique options to suit individual rider anatomy (see chart below).
• Girthing options to optimise saddle stability.
• Changeable gullet bar.
• Available in ‘Croc’ and ‘Plain’ Trim

This saddle was designed and tested using pressure mapping and gait analysis. It is the first saddle to be tested using Pliance Pressure mats under the rider’s seat and under the saddle simultaneously, in conjunction with three-dimensional and two-dimensional analysis of horse and rider.

Developed to maximise horse & rider synchronicity. This popular and acclaimed saddle has revolutionised how riders are able to feel more balanced and ‘at one’ with their horse.

• The World Class Dressage saddles are the only saddles to be scientifically tested with pressure mapping under the saddle and under the rider, combined with simultaneous two-dimensional and three-dimensional analysis of both horse and rider.
• The block incorporates a shock-absorbing element that accommodates the forward movement of the knee – the optimal level of support without restriction.
• Thanks to the block and seat configuration, the symmetry and balance of the rider’s seat is improved because the pelvis is proven to remain neutral for longer in each stride.
• Scientists can demonstrate that the horse moves more freely thanks to a combination of the patented Fairfax Performance Panel and the rider’s improved position.
• Use the shoulder blocks to fine tune the amount of leg support the rider requires.
• Customise the blocks to allow the rider to sit squarely on a horse with asymmetrical shoulders (read more in ‘Additional Features’)
