Introducing The ReactorPanel Saddle
The ReactorPanel saddle is a modification of Military saddle designs using hi-tech materials. The original design has been significantly refined using modern materials to produce a traditional looking saddle that is almost infinitely adjustable .
The ‘panel ’ of the saddle is independent from the ‘saddle seat’. So it is possible to provide a saddle solution for the small rider partnering an extremely large horse, or vice versa, with ReactorPanel, both parties can achieve the perfect fit for them both as the panels are what fits the horse that then means that the rider is free to choose whatever suits them whatever the horse’s shape. The saddle is also easily adjusted when the horse changes shape.
In a well fitting ReactorPanel saddle most horses visibly relax and the stride lengthens. Riders trying them for the first time feel the freedom of movement immediately. Particularly in extended trot and lateral work, they also experience a close connected feel with superior stability and feel at one with the horse . Horses who previously struggle going downhill or achieving the correct leg in canter find that everything is easier.
The large flexible panels maximize the weight-bearing surface, distributing pressure over the widest possible area so the horse carries the saddle more comfortably and the riders feel more stable, the close contact feel that is achieved enables the horse to feel weight and seat aids the rider in a more clear way . Different panel lengths ensure that the system can accommodate horses of all shapes and sizes on different size saddles, the object being to spread the riders weight over the largest weight bearing surface possible
Even in well fitting saddles you have a static object interfacing two moving objects. With the ReactorPanel system the panels move with the horse, allowing superior stability and feel.
Because of the large number of customers we fit every day the ReactorPanel is evolving as we learn more about how our saddles interact with different horse and rider combinations.
