For the rider, the seat is flat and wide enough to allow the rider to sit in balance with little or no effort in a multitude of situations and circumstances. The stirrups are hung underneath you for balanced riding. The tree is shaped to put your thigh and seat in a position that helps eliminate lower back pain. The twist, or width of the seat, is constructed so that it does not spread your hips, eliminating that aching feeling so many of us have after a long ride. Our English Saddles are wider in the ishium bone (seat bones) area, and narrower in the twist (forward part of your bottom) area, than other saddles. The seat is padded enough to be comfortable for even the most sensitive rider. Synergist English Saddles are designed to offer an incredible feeling of "oneness" with the horse through the saddle. They are designed for balanced riding with both the rider's and horse's comfort in mind.  | | Click» photo for a larger view |
For the horse, the Synergist English Saddles offers a maximum support area so the rider's weight is dispersed over more area of the horse's back. The bars are about twice as wide as most other English Saddles. This is extremely important for endurance riders. Long hours can create pressure problems on the horse's back if the weight bearing panels do not spread the load over a broad enough area of muscle, or allow the horse's back to come up into the saddle when the horse moves forward. Our saddles allow the horse to comfortably extend to its full potential. The spinal channel is also wide, another important factor contributing to both heat dissipation and the horse's spinal comfort. |
English DSS Trail

The DSS trail saddle has a shorter side flap, and the knee rolls are extended forward. This design allows the rider to use a shorter stirrup to facilitate shock absorption in the ankles, knees and hips, providing a more comfortable ride in all types of terrain including mountains and rough, uneven ground. The Synergist DSS style saddle is suitable to jumping, cross country, Dressage, pleasure and trail.

| English Dressage
Click» photo for English Saddle Photo Gallery | Our English Dressage Saddle has longer, straighter side flaps than our DSS style saddle. The knee rolls are placed to support a longer stirrup length since this style is typically used in arenas where the terrain is flat. It can be made without the D-ring option for showing. This saddle is perfect for the dressage enthusiast, and the many D-rings it has are ideal for tying on additional items you'll want to take with you. That makes it quite a nice saddle for trail riding as well!

Well made, with a very comfortable seat designed to allow a rider to attain a "centered", balanced position with little or no effort over all types of terrain.
