The EQUALIZER BAREBACK SADDLE has been released by The Australian Stock Saddle Company, of Malibu, California.
It combines two revolutionary innovations. First, the CSI equalizing panels, built on especially designed material to distribute weight over a greater area. These panels have set new standards for saddle pads.
The CSI panels are built into a bareback pad constructed by The Australian Stock Saddle Company, using Merino sheepskin and reinforced with webbing to support breastplate Ds, Western riggins Ds, saddel bag Ds, and a crupper D. All hardware is solid brass, the tongues stainless steel. The off-billet is nylon, and the near-side is a nylon tackaberry strap. The girth is neoprene. The cinching system is so effective it enables a skilled rider to mount from the ground, and to actually use stirrup pressure while riding, galloping or jumping. A breastplate and crupper is suggested on rough country.
Why it works: The weight of a rider, bareback, is distributed over just 2.5 vertebra. Fine for short rides. Devastating for long rides. The weakest part of a horse's back is the center, where a bareback rider quickly settles.
The EQUALIZER BAREBACK SADDLE distributes weight over six vertebra. Because there is no solid tree, the "saddle" fits any horse. Colors black or off-white. Price with mountings. :$495. No Mountings: $395
