This model has been designed and made to fit modern horses with a compact and well-muscled shape and is also recommended for short-backed horses.
The three shape and seat profile with narrow twist have been designed to guarantee maximum comfort and to achieve the optimum feeling of close contact.
The narrow twist and seat are made of technical floating polyurethane, with 2 additional appendices on the tree to support the pressure of the panels.
Another innovation concerns the flaps: made entirely of doubled bull leather, to ensure excellent contact and great softness. In addition to the different length options, it will be possible to have 4 different projections in a single flap; this adjustment has to be done by our dealers or fitters by changing only one screw in the insertion holes of the flaps. The four types of projection will be the following:
- Forward (+ 2cm), to guarantee more thigh support and freedom of the knees.
- Standard, for a more vertical posture
- Drawback (-2cm) for greater support and knee contact.
-Double draw back (- 4 cm cm for a really vertical straight position ).
The attachment between the front panels and the flaps is made with Velcro, to ensure a correct adherence between the panels and the flaps allowing the different projection changes.
The Elevation has long, ergonomically-shaped knee rolls made of a double-density technical material. These provide softness and comfort in the area of contact with the rider’s leg and solid support on the outer surface.
The panels have a unique shape, At the front, the innovative ergonomic shape perfectly fits both muscular backs and pronounced withers, combining in a single panel the freedom of the shoulders of an SL and the support of a traditional panels. Thanks to a larger surface laying on the trapezium area and its thinner edges, this panel doesn’t limit the freedom of movement of the shoulders but, at the same time, helps the balance of the saddle.
Thanks to the gusset on the panels, it will be possible to add flocking not only in the rear area but also to the front in case of particularly prominent withers or exposed ‘projecting vertebrae
For especially short straight back horses, anatomical panels are also available, which are shaped at the front to allow the maximum shoulder freedom compared to the classic panels.
