We focus on science & education
Our dedication to product testing and development yields technology that makes it easier for horses to carry us. After two decades of design and development, we have created saddles that improve the horse-rider connection.
We foster relationships with leading equine research groups and scientists all over the world, and support environments that create better products and better techniques for equine well-being.
Our focus on education is just as stringent. All team members are riders, and many are coaches, trainers, or body workers. Starting from this strong knowledge base, we add many hours of training and continuing education to be sure that our Saddle Experts are true experts who can give you solid and accurate information.

Commitment to Technology
The first computerized mat for testing saddle pressures was developed in the late 1980s, and was used soon after to invent our EQFlex™ panel technology. The original design, comprising two types of closed-cell foams sandwiching a semi-rigid laser-cut insert, has evolved into the panel designs we make today.
The world’s top endurance riders choose saddles from our sister company, ReactorPanel™, for their arduous rides which may cover 100 miles. These distance saddles incorporate our EQFlex™ panels: The technology underlying our saddles has been extremely well tested.
From the very beginning, we have augmented the art of saddle design and fitting with the best diagnostic tools of the day.
