With its slightly more open seat and slimmer design, you feel more quickly what is happening underneath you. This provides confidence, especially when riding a turn or guiding a combination.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAt the same time, you do not compromise on comfort.

The sweat flap is thinner, meaning there is less material between you and your horse. You will particularly notice this in the approach to a jump and during landing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMany showjumpers choose this type of saddle because it provides more feel over a fence and on technical lines. You can ride more subtly and receive a quicker response to your aids.\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 designed to allow your horse’s movement to remain free. During jumping, the saddle absorbs shocks more effectively and stays balanced.\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 evenly. Horses with sensitive backs in particular may benefit from this.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTogether, these technologies provide a more comfortable feeling while riding and greater support for your horse.\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 Solution, you can adjust the tree.
