WOW Saddle Features

Anatomique Seat

The WOW™ saddle has a unique seat that is designed to make best use of the shape of our legs. Most saddles give us nothing to hold on to, giving a totally smooth line running from the skirts over the stirrup bars down to the flap.

The WOW™ has a deliberate step between flap and seat creating a hollow that the leg sits into on either side of the tree. This promotes more stability and security by giving the leg something to wrap around rather than sitting on top. Sitting trot on big moving horses is easier, jumping has greater security as the leg can mould into the saddle and horse. The seat is seamless having no skirts stitched on to the softer seat leather; this means less wear of the seat and of you.

D Rings

Front D rings are standard. Double D rings can be specified on the front. Two D Rings on right and/or left or 6 all round back. Also you can have a D ring for an air jacket fitted in the center of the cut back head as shown.

“CC” Lady’s Seat

If you need more comfort in the front of the saddle then we can provide this feature by specifying a “CC” seat.

Padded Wings

The skirts over the stirrup bars can be padded providing more support in front of the thigh lifting the riders fork off the front of the saddle. Used in conjunction with a “CC” seat greater comfort for ladies who suffer discomfort in this area.

Channel Seat

This is the ultimate for lady’s who suffer from saddle rub! We can create a channel from front to center of the seat so that there is no possible way of the seat applying pressure where it is not wanted.

Covered Cantle Plate

The silver plate on the back of the cantle can be covered in leather of the same or a contrasting colour.

Sizes

Seat are available on 16″, 17″, 18″ & 19″ trees.

"The horses are all much freer through their shoulders both on the flat and when jumping. I love the ease of adaptability to fit different horses, being able to fine tune them and make subtle changes to the balance while on board which would be impossible in a traditionally flocked saddle."

Francis Whittington

"Since using the Wow saddle I have felt a huge difference in Affinity Bay's way of going. He has the ability to come up more through the shoulder which allows him more easily to come under with his quarters and 'sit' in work such as canter pirouettes."

Daisy Coakley

"My horses are far to valuable to me in every way, to consider using something as vitally important as a saddle, for any reason other than the horse's ability to perform to the very best of its' ability& WOW and Flair are a major step forward in the way we saddle our horses."

Richard Davison

"I chose to use my jump Wow saddle to be safe and secure in such a big atmosphere, and absolutely loved getting to gallop in the main arena Championship just before the Derby! Annacotty and I qualified for the RoR Tattersalls Show Final back in may at Stafford County Show. Riding in the Final at Hickstead in his first year of retraining was a dream come true."

Horses change shape – so should your saddle

Horses change shape – so should your saddle

It is a well-known fact that horses change shape Or maybe it is not – A horse can feel a fly land – so obviously changes in the rider’s weight distribution are going to affect the horse. I suspect we just do not appreciate how little change is needed to alter the way...

Sweat marks and Flair

Sweat marks and Flair

As with most things Flair we have to think about this a little differently than the “stable myths” would have us think. For example, you are unlikely to have an even dampness from sweat under the saddle. The Flair is a soft air fill, it is designed to move with the...

Saddle fitting in your hands

Saddle fitting is complicated. Trying a lot of off-the-rack saddles will get a close fit. You can have them modified by a saddle-fitter. Better yet, you can have a saddler build a perfectly fitting saddle, which will fit when its built but cannot accommodate the...
