AFFINITY BETWEEN THE HORSE AND THE RIDER
Aesthetic research and a technological tree for the new Jump saddle. The saddle features a new, unisex tree that improves the performance of both the horse and the rider. The tree is revolutionary and structurally innovative: it features the “COCCYX-PROTECTION-SYSTEM” technology, in other words, CPS, a new injected-membrane geometry with a differentiated capacity to absorb all stress and movement. The CPS technology was developed to protect the rider’s ischia bones, coccyx and back. The central membrane has greater elasticity than the two on either side, and it is visible through the soft Plexiglass inspection window on the saddle’s gullet. The tree is wider in the pommel than other saddles, and the tree points are slightly angled when compared to the usual position, to allow the rider to put the saddle further forward, without hindering the horse’s shoulders. These unique features ensure greater freedom of movement for both the withers and the trapezius muscle, allowing the horse to move without restrictions during each of the three gaits and while jumping. The seating position is deep and the twist is narrow, to allow the rider to feel very close to the horse. The seat is wider towards the cantle, and it is extremely comfortable, also thanks to the new membranes. The saddle features shorter, anatomically shaped panels for larger surface area leading to better weight distribution.
