What is a half size saddle?

We often hear about custom-made saddles. We now know that these are saddles that respect the morphology of each horse and each rider. However, we see more and more the mention "half size", like our Atlas model. What is it about? Here are some explanations.

Presentation of the Atlas Half Saddle

Our half-size saddle is a halfway house between a custom saddle and a standard saddle. Unlike mass-produced saddles, our Atlas saddle takes into consideration your own body shape

In fact, you can choose the size of the seat and the flaps, according to your preferences. We offer different seat sizes and different flap lengths to provide you with a saddle that fits your body. 

For the comfort of your horse, we offer high density foam panels with shape memory properties. Thus, the saddle will naturally adapt to the shape of your horse's back. As a result, the saddle will become more and more comfortable for your horse. 

A half-size saddle for every discipline

Our half-size saddle Atlas is available in three different models. Indeed, thanks to our experience of high level riders, we know that each discipline requires its specific material. So, in order to allow all riders to have comfortable and quality equipment, we have adapted our offer.

Whatever the discipline, each Atlas saddle is customizable in terms of seat size and flaps. In the same way, each saddle is conceived by craftsmen in our workshop of the South-West. For the manufacture of the saddle, we opted for French nubuck for its properties of resistance and comfort. Also, the Atlas saddles are designed with a leather bottom reinforcement to protect this area subject to friction.

The advantages of our Atlas Half Saddle

For the rider, a saddle with customized dimensions is a real guarantee of comfort. It allows you to forget about the problems and discomforts associated with flaps that are not the right length. In general, a saddle that fits you will help you ride in a good position, better for you and your horse.

Better comfort for better performance

By not having any discomfort from the saddle, you can ride naturally. It will no longer be necessary to compensate for a material defect by your position. 

A half size saddle like our Atlas saddle will help you find a light, supple, fluid and efficient riding. Your riding will be more efficient and comfortable, but also more pleasant to look at. 

Another significant benefit you will find in a half saddle is the comfort it will provide your horse.
