Worth knowing about Equitec saddles

Equitec Superior saddles are designed and constructed to withstand the rigours of everyday use by competitive riders, professional trainers, and leisure riders alike. Our customers have expressed a need for a saddle with a wide gullet, as many current saddles tend to sit a little too high over the horse's wither. Furthermore, the tree needed to be flexible to better adapt to various horse types and, importantly, ensure freedom of movement so that the horse can develop.

We have placed great emphasis on ensuring the saddle sits balanced on the horse. This means the saddle's deepest point is in the middle, and it does not tip up at the front or back when tightened. Of course, it's not possible to make one saddle that fits all horses or riders, which is why several models have been developed that collectively suit a wide range of horses and riders.

Equitec saddles are quality all the way through, which is why we offer a 2-year full warranty on our saddles.

Equitec collaborates with riders Tina Kalmo Pedersen and Rasmus Møller Jensen on the development of the Equitec Superior series of saddles.

  

Equitec – Leather Quality

Equitec saddles are made from very high-quality vegetable-tanned ox leather. The leather has the advantage of high resistance to sweat and is incredibly durable. We use the best European leather in our saddles, which is evident in the extremely high finish and quality of all saddles. In our most expensive models, we use special Italian and English oiled leather of truly top quality.

Equitec - Panels

Another priority in the development of our saddles is the panels and how they sit on the horse's back. Our panels are self-regulating foam panels that guarantee optimal fit. They have an extremely wide bearing surface, which distributes the rider's weight in the best possible way. The wide tree width allows for optimal freedom of movement for the spine. Our saddle panels are softly padded and work with the horse's movement. The panels are either flocked with synthetic wool or 3-layer latex:

Our synthetic wool is of very high quality, also highly resistant to sweat, meaning the wool does not felt or clump. Additionally, the wool has great elasticity, which guarantees the panel's mobility.

Our 3-layer latex provides a unique fit and ensures the saddle never loses its shape; the latex always returns the saddle to its original position. Latex is also exceptionally strong.

Equitec – Saddle Tree

The core of Equitec saddles is our flexible tree made of laminated wood and spring steel. The special construction means the tree is flexible lengthwise. The tree is specially developed with an interchangeable gullet bar, making it easy to adapt the saddles to the horse for optimal comfort in terms of the width and height of the horse's wither.
