Wow what fun! Our first Empire dealer day at Kim Noordijk’s barn. An educational, but mostly enjoyable day, during which we looked, among other things, at the different trees and pillows that can be ordered from Empire.
Proper saddle fit is critical to both your horse’s performance and well-being. That’s why Empire Saddles offers 6 different saddle models, each with their own tree and fit. Ranging from horses that are wide to narrow, have short backs or high withers, and everything in between. Regardless of your horse’s anatomy: at Empire, we start with the right tree as a foundation. This is the first, important, step toward a comfortable dressage saddle.
After choosing the right saddle tree, we move on to choosing the right cushions. Our saddles have a large supporting surface, which minimizes pressure on the horse’s back and allows the horse to perform at its maximum potential. During the production of the saddles, we can also have adjustments made to the shape of the cushion for a custom fit!
