For a long time I was looking for a good saddle that was comfortable for myself but most importantly, that was comfortable for my horses. When I first sat down in the Empire saddle it immediately felt very good! You’re really into it and in the process you feel a lot of contact with your horse.
I have some sensitive horses and they clearly indicate what they like. Since riding with the Empire saddle, I notice so much difference! Much more looseness and relaxation on the back and no longer wanting to run away from the saddle. That to me does indicate that they like it much better now!
