Description
The Hrimner Legacy Icelandic Dressage saddle comes with an extra gullet in size MW. Knee rolls are placed underneath the flap for extra softness and comfrot. Soft seat, exchangeable gullet system.
A good saddle tree is designed to position the rider near the centre of the saddle for even weight distribution. It also offers flexibility for good rider performance.
The same philosophy applies to horses and saddles: you can have horses with great conformation and talent, but if their movements aren’t flexible and elastic, they don ‘t perform well. If the saddle tree (the core of the saddle) is not flexible, the saddle cannot function correctly. That ‘s why we have chosen to use DuPont® Flex saddle tree that features the XChange® gullet plate system in our saddles.
The DuPont® saddle tree is one of the most technically advanced spring saddle trees in the world. It follows the movements of the horse especially well. This saddle tree is designed to position the rider near the centre of the saddle for even weight distribution across the panels. The Dupont® saddle tree offers enormous flexibility together with stability and strength, providing better balance for rider and horse. The saddle tree is molded with specially designed polymers by Dupont®. The tree has an interchangeable steel gullet plate, which can be taken out easily and replaced with a narrower or wider piece. Temperature changes don’t affect the tree’s structure, and the material offers exceptional flexibility and resistance. This combination of qualities allows extraordinary contact between rider and horse by adjusting to different horses’ backs, riding styles, and positions of the rider.
THE XCHANGE® GULLET PLATE SYSTEM
The XChange® gullet plate system is a revolutionary system that allows the tree width to be modified to the withers and back of any horse, or as the horse grows and changes. By adjusting the Xchange® gullet individually, pressure points in the front part of the horse ‘s back are avoided and the weight distribution of the saddle is optimized.
