*Important Note Flex2 trees are designed to flex at the tips of the bars, they allow freedom of movement for your horse while riding but do not offer flexible fits so it’s important to order the correct size for your horse’s back
HELPFUL TIP
• The placement of the saddle on the horse’s back is essential to function and comfort. The correct saddling position places the front edge of the bar BEHIND the horse’s shoulder blade. This is the sweet spot where the saddle will rest comfortably without interfering with the horse’s movement.
• Here at Circle Y, we take saddle fit seriously! Often, we see riders over-padding on a well-fitting saddle. This can lead to poor saddle fit, saddle sores, and a sore back! It’s a good rule to always check your fit and adjust pad width sizing accordingly!
• Have you evaluated your horse’s topline conformation? A weak topline can lead to poor saddle fit. Horses with hollows behind the shoulder, asymmetry, prominent spines, swaybacks, and downhill builds need correctional pads to ensure proper fit. Check out our correction pads at Reinsman Equestrian today to ensure your horse’s comfort. Call our customer service team for more info!

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Every new saddle has been oiled and then finished with a protective finish, so you don’t need to oil it for about six months. You should oil it sooner if you’re riding a lot in dry or variable weather conditions. The protective finish is water-based, so your leather can breathe. Do not use detergent-based, solvent, or harsh cleaning products. Rub the leather gently, and do not scrub vigorously with soap and water. This saddle is a hybrid saddle built with Suede use only a cleaner specially designed for the care of suede leather. The Suede should be dusted or vacuum cleaned free of dust and dirt, brushed with a stiff brush to bring back the nap, and spot cleaned with a damp cloth. A conditioner of any kind would probably “glue” the nap and you would lose the texture of the suede. Most saddle leather products tell you not to use it on suede.
