Developed with and chosen by Charlotte Dujardin to maximise horse & rider synchronicity. The new block and seat configuration allows the rider to feel more balanced and 'at one' with their horse.
The Fairfax World Class Monoflap Dressage Saddle is available with the Elias Panel option for ‘uphill’ conformations such as Friesians and baroque types such as Andalusians, Lipizzaners and Lusitanos. Also there are two further panel options, a standard panel and a deep rear gusseted panel.
- The only dressage saddle to be scientifically tested with pressure mapping under the saddle and under the rider, combined with simultaneous two-dimensional and three-dimensional analysis of both horse and rider.
- The block incorporates a shock-absorbing element that accommodates the forward movement of the knee – the optimal level of support without restriction.
- Thanks to the block and seat configuration, the symmetry and balance of the rider's seat is improved because the pelvis is proven to remain neutral for longer in each stride.
- Scientists can demonstrate that the horse moves more freely thanks to a combination of the patented Fairfax Performance Panel and the rider's improved position.
- Use the shoulder blocks to fine tune the amount of leg support the rider requires.
- Customise the blocks to allow the rider to sit squarely on a horse with asymmetrical shoulders (read more in 'Additional Features')
- Luxurious, super-grippy Italian calf leather
This saddle features the ground-breaking Fairfax Performance Panel which is scientifically proven to increase limb extension, joint flexion and gait symmetry.
The weight-bearing part of the panel under the rider’s seat is separated from the part under the rider’s knee (which lies over the horse’s shoulder). This allows the horse’s shoulder independence of movement, free from any restriction that a traditional panel could potentially cause – particularly beneficial on a horse with big shoulders or big shoulder movement.
Performance and World Class Dressage Saddles are supplied with three thicknesses of changeable shoulder blocks.
Select the thickness of block according to rider preference - the thicker the block, the ‘closer’ it will bring the flap to the rider’s leg.
If a horse has asymmetrical shoulders, use the thicker block on the side with less muscle. This allows the rider to sit squarely while the horse is free to move underneath, building up muscle without restriction. Some riders might prefer for the block to be removed completely, in this case, replace it with a 'blank'.
Scientifically researched
All Fairfax saddles are designed using the scientific research and development that goes into our Performance and World Class ranges. Every saddle benefits from our pressure-relieving design experience – so the horse benefits too!
Prolite®-lined panel
The wool-flocked panels are lined with a layer of Prolite® for proven pressure distribution, while still allowing for traditional re-flocking on site.
Changeable Gullet Bars
All saddles feature a changeable gullet bar (either S-Bar or R-Bar) which allows the saddle fitter to choose the width fitting that best suits the profile of the horse’s withers. The bars can be changed quickly and easily as the horse develops or changes shape.
