The WOW 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.
NEW CONTINENTAL SEAT
This seat is derived from the showing saddle seat. The seat is wider than the flat (square cantle jumping) and also has a small belly (support at the sides of the cantle.
The back is square and on the curved tree profile feels deep. This seat is rather like the Shallow Seat Profile but has a larger area to sit on as the cantle does not end so sharply.

ACADEMIC SEAT
This Seat will suit the Classical Dressage Rider that wants more room in the seat without constriction.
The feel is a jumping seat in that it has a flatter middle that allows the rider to move their seat backwards or forwards more so than would be achievable in say an Extra Deep seat. The Academic seat benefits from a much higher cantle than the Flat Seat and therefore gives the support one would expect for dressage.
