Additional info: 

The X-Helen K maintains the technical features and the feeling for the rider of the past version, but it is even more elegant and refined than before thanks to the patent leather inserts. The twist is narrow and deep. The rider is seated very close to the horse without hindering its movements. The blocks are innovative, as they are curved to follow the shoulder of the horse. They have been designed to follow the somatic development of the horse’s shoulder, to enhance balance with horse’s natural shape while respecting its musculoskeletal conformation. The right proportion between structure and softness adds to the block’s comfort and optimizes synergy between the horse and the rider. The fancy inserts are on the back of the cantle. The anatomically shaped panels ensure maximum freedom of movement for the trapezius muscles.

LPF Panels: 

The LPF (Light Performance Fit panels) are made from a Dacron synthetic fibre, covered by an elastic honeycomb material (Airnet) and a layer of soft foam. This type pf panel is light, elastic and easily adaptable to the morphology of the modern horse. It combines the reduced thickness and the close-contact feeling with the horse, which are typical of latex panels, with the shock-absorbing and highly adaptability properties of flocked panels.

X-Technology:

One of the Prestige technologies applied to the tree is the X-TECHNOLOGY.

The purpose of this technology is to increase the comfort and stability of the rider. Attention is particularly focused on the rear part of the tree in the space where the ischial bones rest. The use of two membranes of elastic material positioned in this area makes the seat more comfortable and the rider closer to the horse. This technology offers a predetermined position in the seat, without forcing. X-Technology is particularly suitable for those who are looking for a greater sense of closeness to the horse (guaranteed by the membranes that accommodate the ischial bones when the rider sits in the saddle).

Condition: Pre-owned saddle for sale. This saddle is in good condition and shows normal wear. Some very minor scuffs here and there. Most evidence of wear can be seen where leg lays on flaps. Flaps have some buildup on leather. The calfskin leather on this saddle is still in great condition, and very supple, soft, and grippy!
