A Quick History of Comfort Saddles.
Building on the success of The Native Pony Saddle Company Dean Woodward of Saddle Exchange realized that there was also a need for comfortable, high quality, well fitting saddles for the riding and competition horse herunterladen.
Although some needed a different tree and panel, some Warmblood Horses, Quarter Horses, Irish Draft and Sports Horses were fitted very well by his new trees designed for Native Ponies, they were wide at the wither, flat backed and like the Natives, the traditional curved trees did not fit them well, the traditional trees seemed to be made to fit the standing horse, with the back resting, not a moving one!
After producing custom saddles for a number of people ( originally badged as Native Pony) , he realised that not everyone wanted a saddle badged “Native Pony” if they had a different breed of horse adobe connect recording.
Hence the first Comfort Saddles were designed in 2003, badged as as The S. E. ( Saddle Exchange) Comfort Range.
These original saddles were deeper seated versions of the Native Pony Saddles, The Intrepid being a deeper seated Mountain & Moorland and the Seeker a deeper Seated version of the Glen. These saddles proved very popular and Dean soon introduce a Dressage Saddle and a Jumping Saddle again originally badged as Native Pony then later became the Grand Prix Dressage and Four Star Jumping Saddle kodi for ps4.
Working with the fitting of Danish Sports Ponies in Denmark,The Pro Pony Jumping and Dressage saddles were then introduced. Designed as perfectly scaled down versions and as most Danish and German Sports Ponies had either Welsh or New Forest breeding the saddles were built on Native Pony Saddle Company Trees, hence they are also a great fit for our Native ponies.
