EASY-CHANGE® Fit Solution
The EASY-CHANGE® Fit Solution is a customisable saddle fitting system designed to grow with your horse. It combines adjustable gullet bars (available in sizes from Medium to XW) with a riser system that allows your saddle fitter to fine-tune the saddle’s fit. This means your saddle can adapt as your horse’s shape changes or even be adjusted for a completely new horse—no permanent changes required!

CAIR® Cushion System
The CAIR® Cushion System replaces traditional flocking with air-filled panels to ensure your horse’s ultimate comfort. These sealed panels work by evenly distributing the rider’s weight across your horse’s back, helping to eliminate pressure points and allowing the panels to move and mould with your horse’s working muscles. This means your horse can enjoy complete freedom of movement, improved blood flow, and support for muscle development.

Please note: The CAIR cushions are completely sealed and do not need inflating.
