The
Fhoenix Saddle - Why
Fhoenix?
Fifteen
years ago, Heather Moffett designed the Seatbone Saver saddle pad;
in recognition of the problems many riders face in comfortably
attaining the correct classical seat in conventional saddles. The
memory foam used was also an ideal material for the formation of
saddle seats, so Heather began to design her own saddles using this,
a seamless seat and setback stirrup bars. All this combined to give
the rider greater comfort and security while enabling them to sit
effortlessly in the correct ear/shoulder/hip/heel alignm
The
new saddle is a revolutionary design unlike any other saddle on the
market. The manufacturing process is unique in saddle making, the
Fhoenix being a part-treed saddle, however unlike with other
half-treed where it is at the front, the Fhoenix part-tree is in the
cantle end. This forms the rigid cantle and seat support for the
rider, also ensuring that the gullet does not collapse.

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. Unlike most
treeless saddles on the market, the design features a 'twist'
enabling the rider to drop the thigh deeply, and not feel straddled,
especially on a wider horse. The 'twist' and core are built up from
layers of materials, tested and chosen for their shock absorbing and
pressure resisting properties. This 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.
With
the Prolite panel saddle, the replaceable panels are moulded to give
a traditionally gulleted underside to the saddle, but designed in a
way to permit additional padding to be inserted into the front arch
to give clearance for very high withered or atrophied horses.
