Moffett Mark II Fhoenix Saddle Range
The Fhoenix range
feature a revolutionary design unlike any other saddle on the
market. The manufacturing process is unique in saddle-making,
unlike other "treeless" saddles where there are solid components
front and back, the Fhoenix only has a small rigid cantle giving the
rider's seat support, and cannot be felt by either horse or rider.
It is best described as a "SoftTree" saddle, as it is not like other
treeless saddles in that they are very thin and do not provide a
"twist" for the rider, so that the thighs can drop, and legs and
hips do not feel straddled. The "SoftTree" is built up from layers
of materials, tested and chosen for their shock absorbing and
pressure resisting properties, but also shaping the seat to feel
much more like a treed saddle for the rider. This "SoftTree" enables
the saddle to flex with every oscillation of the horse's back,
giving great freedom of movement, with no restriction of the
shoulders or hindrance of the lifting of the horse's back.
The whole seat and
flexible front arch are made from 45mm thickness of the Seatbone Saver
memory foam, into which the rider sinks, giving great depth of seat
and exceptional comfort.
The moulded
replaceable panels are designed to give a traditionally gulleted
underside to the saddle. With the addition of padding for horses with
muscle wastage, it is possible to fit almost any horse. The Fhoenix
range offer unrivalled comfort to both horse and rider, combining the
flexibility and best characteristics of a treeless saddle, but with
the rider support of a treed saddle.
The saddles should
be always used with a so called "high wither" cut saddle cloth or
numnah, which will fit well up into the front arch of the saddle, not
pulling across and down and causing pressure on the wither as often
happens with the usual cut of saddle cloths and numnahs - all should
be cut high at the front - thereby eradicating this common problem. We
highly recommend the Mattes range of saddlecloths and numnahs.
We strongly
advocate use of the Professional's Choice dressage girth and leather
dressage leathers with the saddle.
