One of the most-liked series on this page highlighted the unique features of WOW Saddles. While many of us cannot ride currently, now is a good time to find out about the advantages of WOW, and maybe have a chat with your local fitter for when the good times return. Find them at http://bit.ly/wowretailers. A demo on your own horse could be a gamechanger!
So here we go, with an updated 'unique features' series, taking a sneaky look inside Wow Saddles, to see why horses (and riders!) like them so much.
First up, tree curvature. Could you have chosen any one of three tree curvatures in your current saddle, to ensure your horse's comfort and ability to perform to his full potential?
The three tree options in each size are shown here using their shape replicas within our patented saddle gauge http://www.wowsaddles.com/products/saddle-gauge/, with the curve outlined in colour. They may not, may not look hugely different - but your horse would beg to differ. One human shoe size isn't much - but we all know how different it feels!
For example, this lovely chestnut client of Gemma Sigglekow's at Epona Downs Equestrian Limited - Wow Saddles Elite NZ Gemma Sigglekow's, in New Zealand, had definite opinions. Technically, he measures up as a curved tree, but goes sooooo much better, softer and with more engagement, in a semi-curved. The two photos were taken just minutes apart, with the only change being the tree shape. The importance of a ridden assessment of the options!
The final image compares the same 'before' and 'after' images, with Gemma's notes.
With WOW Saddles' modular system everything is interchangeable so that together with their recommended Flair air flocking these sorts of fine adjustments are easy - and they make a huge difference to your horse's comfort and way of going. Don't ever be persuaded that you or your horse has to accept a less than perfect fit - it's not true.
