Detailed DescriptionThe Imus 4-Beat(tm) saddle: It's what's inside (and outside) that counts!
What's inside the Imus 4-Beat(tm) saddle has gained it a well-earned reputation as the "go-to" saddle for hard-to-fit horses of every description, and makes it extraordinarily comfortable for both horse and rider. Premium-grade Supracor© padding under the tree bars ensure there is no gapping or pinching between the tree and your horse, giving a high degree of "fit forgiveness" that's not available in any other brand of saddle. The same padding in the seat provides the rider all-day riding comfort. Nylon web suspension under the tree bars guarantees the semi-flexible tree won't collapse down onto the horse's spine, and awards the rider a very close "feel" for the horse's movement. Center-fired rigging that ties off on the back D-Ring secures the saddle from back to front, keeps the latigo knot out from under the rider's leg, and allows the cinch to settle at the least active point of the barrel (preventing cinch galls). The more forward position of the saddle places the rider over the horse's true center of gravity - in a bareback riding position - while the free-swinging stirrups relieve stress on the rider's hips, knees, and ankles. Saddle soreness is truly a thing of the past!Weighs approximately 26 lbs.
A lesser-known "feature" of the Imus 4-Beat(tm) saddle is that it is making positive contributions not only to horses and riders, but also to society. Each saddle is hand crafted by specially trained saddle makers at the CCi (Colorado Correctional Institute) Saddle Shop. A portion of the salary they earn at this craft is contributed to victims' rights organizations. It also helps ease the financial burden of lesser recognized victims - the families of those who are incarcerated. Profits from sales of the saddles (and other products made at the facility) make CCi the only self-sustaining prison system in the nation, saving taxpayers millions of dollars per year. Perhaps best of all, men re-enter society with a new sense of pride and accomplishment, as well as a marketable job skill.
The Imus 4-Beat(tm) saddle makes "doing the next right thing" a very easy choice!
