Thanks to its slim design, you feel more quickly what is happening under the saddle. You will especially notice this in the approach to a jump or during a tight turn.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe black version has a sporty and calm appearance. The saddle therefore combines easily with different equipment, both during training and in competition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does Close Contact mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWith a Close Contact saddle, your leg lies closer along the horse. The sweat flap is made thinner, meaning there is less material between you and your horse. This provides more feel and often more confidence on the course.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMany riders find that they can ride slightly more directly with this type of saddle. This can be particularly useful on technical lines or combinations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHART and CAIR technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe HART system (Horse and Rider Technology) has been developed to allow your horse’s movement to remain free. During jumping, the saddle helps to absorb impact more effectively and remain stable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe CAIR panels are filled with air instead of traditional wool. They shape to your horse’s back and distribute pressure across a larger surface. This can be beneficial for horses that react sensitively to uneven pressure distribution.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTogether, these systems support your horse’s comfort and provide you with a stable feeling in the saddle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFit and adjustability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWith the Easy-Change Fit System, you can adjust the tree if you notice that the saddle needs to sit differently. Horses naturally change through training or season. In that case, it is convenient that you do not immediately need a new saddle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIf you are unsure about the fit, it is advisable to have a saddle fitter assess it.
