MORE DETAILS
•Impact Foam seat for all-day riding comfort
•The tree’s flexibility promotes freedom of movement while feeling connected to your horse during rides.
•The suede skirts and fenders provide all the benefits of a Cordura saddle but the ruggedness of leather.
•The suede itself functions like leather without the added bulk and the added benefit of masking scratches and blemishes out on the trail.
•Built in Yoakum, Texas!
*Important Note Flex2 trees are designed to flex at the tips of the bars, they allow freedom of movement for your horse while riding but do not offer flexible fits so it’s important to order the correct size for your horse’s back
HELPFUL TIP
• The placement of the saddle on the horse's back is essential to function and comfort. The correct saddling position places the front edge of the bar BEHIND the horse's shoulder blade. This is the sweet spot where the saddle will rest comfortably without interfering with the horse's movement.
• Here at Circle Y, we take saddle fit seriously! Often, we see riders over-padding on a well-fitting saddle. This can lead to poor saddle fit, saddle sores, and a sore back! It's a good rule to always check your fit and adjust pad width sizing accordingly!
• Have you evaluated your horse's topline conformation? A weak topline can lead to poor saddle fit. Horses with hollows behind the shoulder, asymmetry, prominent spines, swaybacks, and downhill builds need correctional pads to ensure proper fit. Check out our correction pads at Reinsman Equestrian today to ensure your horse's comfort. Call our customer service team for more info!
