WESTERN SADDLES
Danny Kroetch has over 15 years of experience selling, fitting and designing top saddles for dressage and jumping. He brought his experience fitting over 2,000 saddles a year to the University of Utrecht in Holland where he was asked to assist in the research of saddle fitting in sport horses.
In an exciting new turn Danny Kroetch has brought his extensive experience to the world of western riding. The technology Danny developed through his research and experience is now available to those participating in the western sports including, reining, cutting, barrel racing etc...
This fully custom saddle incorporates well tested and proven technologies used in English riding for years and brings all the benefits!
Sizes: 14"-17"
Leather: Available in Traditional Western leather,French, Buffalo and French Calf leather with optional Nubuck seat.
Adjustable Tree: This adjustable tree allows the rider to adjust the tree of their saddle to perfectly fit their horse or change the fit as they move the saddle from horse to horse. The adjustments are easy to do and the tool required. Patent Pending #2,624,098
Interlocked Double V girthing system: This system stabilizes the saddle over a wider area of the horses back offering more comfort and stability.
Upper-Inner Thigh twist: The twist of the saddle is extrememly narrow to allow the leg to fall into the correct position and offers close contact for improved communication and a more secure seat.
Short Panel: A shorter panel means the weight bearing surface doesn't extend down to the lumbar muscles which are not meant to bear weight.
Benefits over the traditional Western Saddle:
- Adjustable to fit different horses
- Places the weight correctly on the tricep muscle
- Air System built in and can be adjusted to fit the assymetry of the horses back helping the saddle to sit square and level. This results in less chafing, fewer and thinner saddle pads, no need to over-cinch the saddle.
