Detailed Description The Imus 4-Beat™ saddle is specifically designed to accommodate the unique action of the gaited horse’s back. This beautiful, hand-built saddle boasts a web-suspended, with Supracor padding in the seat, giving the rider a remarkably close feel for the horse’s movement. A unique saddle tree with a carefully calculated degree of flexibility in the bars offers gaited horses unprecedented comfort and freedom of motion, while still correctly distributing the rider’s weight. The premium, medical grade Supracor© therapeutic padding that is built right in under the luxurious fleece lining virtually guarantees that your horse will never again experience pressure points or soreness, and helps assure a perfect fit. Weighs approximately 26 lbs.
How The Imus 4-Beat™ Saddle Works The Imus 4-Beat™ saddle places the rider in a perfectly balanced “bareback” riding position, directly over the horse’s true center of gravity. Because the saddle is placed more forward, loin soreness becomes a thing of the past! The slightly forward positioned stirrups takes stress off the rider’s hips, knees and ankles. The “center fired” rigging assures you that the saddle will never be bounced from back to front with each stride, which action can cause pinching at the shoulders and withers. This rigging system also settles the cinch at the least active point of the horse’s barrel, so you will never again have to worry about the all-too common problem of saddle galls.
