Horse and Rider Technology

…we call this HART

The technology that makes up HART has been proven to be transformative for horse and rider:

• Protective cushioning: CAIR Cushion System
• Precision custom fit: EASY-CHANGE Fit Solution
• Ergonomic flex: Elastiflex Tree
• Free movement: Performance panel technology
• Superior rider performance: Comfort seat technology

Only if a saddle has all of these features, is it worthy of the HART badge.

Precision custom fit

…EASY-CHANGE Fit Solution

Together the EASY-CHANGE Gullet System and the EASY-CHANGE Riser System offer a total fitting solution for your horse’s absolute comfort and your peace of mind.

All adjustments are measurable, symmetrical and completely reversible, ensuring total confidence in your ability to custom fit your saddle to your horse’s changing shape for optimal comfort and performance.

Protective cushioning

…CAIR Cushion System

The revolutionary CAIR Cushion System replaces the traditional fillings in your saddle panel with air. There are two independently sealed air Cushions within each saddle panel. The concept of air, as the ultimate in cushioning for your horse, is simple. Air being a fluid medium will constantly adapt to the horse’s working muscles. This means that your weight will be distributed evenly across the entire length of the cushion, virtually eliminating pressure points.

This extraordinary comfort results in freer movement, better carriage, and a happier horse.

For such a simple concept the dramatic difference the CAIR Cushion System makes to your horse’s comfort and performance is profound.

Ergonomic flex

…Elastiflex Tree

Supported by an easy change gullet the Elastiflex Tree features a rigid head to maintain clearance over your horse’s wither, while possessing lateral flexion to work with your horse’s muscular movement with every stride. Precision engineered to be lightweight, symmetrical and ultra durable the Elastiflex Tree is guaranteed against breakage for the lifetime of your saddle (under normal riding conditions), deemed to be 10 years.

Free movement

…Performance panel technology

• a generous panel, designed to ensure a large footprint on your horse’s back, maximising the weight bearing surface of the saddle and resulting in a reduction in pressure and increased comfort for your horse.
• a wide and even chamber, with performance panels to support your horse’s working muscles and maximise movement in their shoulder area.
• plus complementary technologies for your horse’s comfort including world-leading girthing systems.

Superior rider performance

…Comfort seat technology

• multilayered foams of exacting densities for instantaneous comfort and support of an optimal position.
• a narrow waist anatomically shaped for closer contact.
• plus complementary technologies for your comfort including world-leading stirrup bar, and systems to precision-tailor support for your riding position.
