Why should you choose a SMART Saddle over and above the ever-increasing options on the market? To help you feel confident with your decision, here are some of the key features that make SMART Saddles stand out from the crowd.
No corners are cut when it comes to sourcing materials, manufacturing, design, safety or quality control at SMART Saddles. Each SMART Saddle is responsibly made and designed to last by our team in the UK and includes a 12-month warranty. Our UK workshop is conveniently located for any refurbishment or repairs during the lifetime of the saddle.
Founded in 2006, the SMART Saddle range is the most advanced design to evolve from the ‘treeless saddle’ concept, going beyond anecdotal evidence, SMART Saddles' flexible designs are informed by science. Researched from all angles to ensure the design and materials used are optimal, with horse and rider comfort, welfare and performance at the forefront.
Testing has included extensive biomechanical analysis and pressure sensor mapping - including the gullet area - so that we truly understand what happens between horse, saddle and rider. As proud recipients of a Queen’s Award for Enterprise, the success of our innovative designs is widely acknowledged.
Crucially, all SMART saddles incorporate FlexTech; a fully flexible, impact absorbing system comprising of lightweight, high-density materials and leathers that maintain their shape whilst supporting both the horse and rider without any rigid parts such as pommel arch, fixed cantle or gullet plates.
As each horse, saddle and rider combination is unique, it would be irresponsible to apply a ‘one size fits all’ approach. SMART Saddles provide a personalised and professional fitting service to ensure optimal saddle fit and balance for both horse and rider. Through both our network of trained SMART Advisors and remote fitting service, we not only fit the saddle on the day, but we also educate and empower owners and riders to better understand their own saddle fit. Although the concept may be different to what you have used previously, our comprehensive services ensure you can achieve the perfect fit throughout your SMART journey.
Last but not least, SMART Saddles are widely accepted. With a traditional look and feel, the patented design is suitable for use across all FEI disciplines - there are no restrictions on what you can do in your SMART Saddle either now or in the future. So, once you’ve found the right SMART saddle for you and your horse, you can look forwards to continued use in whatever discipline you choose.
