WESTERN
We created our Western saddle to make sure everyone is able to benefit from WOW’s innovative technology. Our Western range still boasts the use of our head-plate designs, 2023 lateral flexion tree, and access to our Flair system via our Western Korrector. We offer both Western ROUND & Western SQUARE skirt saddles.
LATERAL FLEXION™
Tree The key to the success of the WOW™ saddle is the unique carbon fibre tree design which has Lateral Flexion™. This literally means that the tree is very flexible laterally but not longitudinally which means that the bearing surface and weight distribution is maximised. The tree twists just in front of the riders seat therefore allowing a still seat but real freedom of movement of the horse’s shoulders.
INTER-CHANGEABLE TREE WIDTHS
The tree widths are changeable with an interchangeable head-plate on to which the horn is mounted. Therefore this Western WOW™ saddle can be fitted to the very highest wither or the flattest backed horse! If you want a saddle without a horn the WOW™ Western can take a Standard English WOW™ head-plate making it lighter still! Width fittings are the same as the English WOW™ saddle being Extra Narrow all the way up to 8X wide!
INTER-CHANGEABLE BUCKING ROLLS
The saddle uses a slick fork design (no swell) with bucking rolls; these are interchangeable for different sizes and shapes. The whole saddle is a fraction of the weight of traditional western which will appeal to riders.
INTER-CHANGEABLE GIRTHING & FENDERS
The saddle can be fitted with English girthing or western cinch girthing. The fenders (stirrups) attach to the saddle on English style stirrup bars; of which there are two each side giving two positions (forward and backward) for the riders leg. This also gives the safety of detachable stirrups not found on traditional western saddles.
