Saddle Seat Saddles

The Louisville-Ultra™ Cut Back Show Saddle

The all-new Louisville Ultra cut back show saddle that has been under development for the last 2 years has finally arrived. Working with Grand prix dressage riders to achieve the closest contact with the horse for a more responsive ride we looked at the important areas of the tree and the panels. Using our unique spring tree this has been sculptured to the rider’s thigh allowing the hips to drop down in a more perpendicular angle, which also allows the legs a more comfortable and natural position. We have streamlined the seat for a classic look while keeping the superb comfort and durability that has been a hallmark of our cut back saddles for many years. Next we reshaped the panels to correspond to the contours of the tree and the anatomy of the rider, which ensures a perfect symmetry of the two. Keeping the saddle in a secure and perfect girth alignment can sometimes be a problem, now that can be a thing of the past with our unique girthing system, already tried and tested on our dressage saddles for the past 5 years which will allow the rider to move the billets in several positions to achieve the perfect girth alignment also damaged or worn billets can be changed in seconds with our quick change system. The new saddle has all the attributes that has made our cutback saddles one of the top selling brands in the saddle seat show scene for over three decades. Our 5 position patented stirrup bars are made in England from the finest stainless steel hand assembled by master craftsmen. Every item used in the construction of our saddles is sourced in England from the finest materials available. The Louisville Ultra is for the rider who prefers a flat seat.
