The Hybrid trail model Sensation offers the best of both worlds from the western and the English styles of saddles. The 13” wide swell of the Hybrid replaces the pommel of the other English models. The cantle of the hybrid is significantly wider and 1” taller than the other English versions. The flap on the Hybrid is available standard as a dressage shaped flap designed for a longer leg position.
The Hybrid trail, having a swell, offers a rider a feeling similar to what a Western saddle would offer, The knee roll is average to full with a moveable knee block attached under the knee roll.
Rings located at the rear and sides of the seats create attachment areas for cantle packs or water bottle holders for convenience on the trail. Front rings are for attaching a breastplate and carry handle.
This model is best suited to riders who have a short hip to knee length, like a tighter, deeper seat or would like to ride with a longer leg in the dressage arena or on the trail.
Available in various choices of smooth to grippy leathers – check with your dealer for the latest offerings. Hardware choices are Stainless steel or solid brass.
Standard size on this model would feel like a 15" western or 17" English. With the longer seat option adding approximately 1" in length.
