ReactorPanel ® Saddles’  flexible panels and shock-absorbing discs follow the changing contours of the back in motion, allowing for constant contact which is what gives the superior stability when at ” Optimum fit”.The front and rear edges of the panels flex the most dramatically, because the shoulder and loin have the greatest articulation and movement, that is why the fitting is very important abton. In a similar way to a western saddle the panels are open and flexible front and rear with contact through the middle of the saddle, this allows the fitting of very close coupled horses in a way that could never be achieved with a traditional saddle, our customers with close coupled Endurance Arabians spring to mind film downloaden facebook.

We often hear of customers who have bought saddles without even riding the horse in it!  We do not recommend this as the saddle you think you may like on a website may not feel the same as you anticipate it will when ridden and it is common for customers to choose a  different model than they expect during the saddle fit free antivirus. Occasionally some customers also need a different shape seat or style of saddle  when they undertake their the 4 week trial. We will discuss your requirements before your visit and are very experienced at advising which saddles to try,  resulting in the right saddles for you to try on the day herunterladen. However if the saddle that felt good during your saddle fit does not feel so good after an Endurance Ride, Cross Country course, Dressage Test  or a 2 hour hack,we would like to speak to you as we are happy to come back with more options or even make you a special saddle if that is what you need herunterladen. Return visits in relation to a new saddle fit are usually free of charge.

Your saddle will initially be assessed when your horse is stationary, but as for all other saddle fitting we will need to see you ride, preferably at least few strides of rising trot. The horses back changes dramatically when ridden so what appears balanced when stationary will appear very different when the horse moves, we also have to consider the horse’s muscle tone and the effect of the riders weight. The challenge in saddle design is retaining a superior fit on the moving horse and stability for the rider, this is achieved by the saddle at optimum fit, therefore fitting requirements are  unique to the individual horse and rider combination which is why we recommend that the saddle is fitted by ourselves or one of our Accredited Agents.

The ReactorPanel Saddle fitting is  very complex, even the smallest adjustment of a disc makes a difference to the fit , that is why we do not recommend you try and fit a saddle yourself without assistance from us or employ anyone who is not listed on our website to fit your saddle,  if they are not listed on our website there’s a reason for why they are not!

Over a period of time muscle damage often regenerates and the horse changes shape, in most cases the saddle copes very well with these changes due to the flexibility of the panels,  however it is advisable to have your saddle professionally checked by one of our Accredited fitters who can easily adjust your saddle on site should it be required subject to a call out charge. All our Accredited Fitters also carry replacement velcro and all sizes of discs with them but it is advisable to contact them in advance to ensure they have the correct size velcro replacements for your saddle in stock .
