Trainers Saddles
An inexpensive saddle line produced by Ruiz Diaz is called Trainer’s. Moreover, Ruiz Diaz produces the well-known PDS Carl Hester Collection dressage saddles and the Pessoa show jumping brand of saddles.
Saddles for dressage, show, jump, and general-purpose riding are available in the Trainer’s series. All of Trainer’s saddles are constructed in Argentina, which is known for producing some of the finest mass produced leather and saddlery in the world. Moreover, the Trainer saddles have gullets that may be adjusted utilising the X-Change® System. The Trainer saddle is imported as a less expensive alternative to the more expensive Pessoa saddles, imported by Saddleworld.
Starting with the master’s range, the collection progresses to the Jessica Pro range.
The Master’s collection of leather saddles is designed if you’re on a budget because they start at a cheaper end of the market. The Jessica or Royal show saddle may be an excellent option for you if you’re looking for a mid-priced quality leather saddle that isn’t as bulky in the knee blocks as some of the newer dressage saddles, giving you the older fashioned feel.
Features comprise Spacious knee rolls, a three-point girthing system, and a deep seat. Trainer’s X-Change® technology allows for simple narrow-to-extra-wide tree size adjustments with Narrow, medium, medium wide, wide, or extra wide trainer’s gullet plates.
Most saddles in the Trainers range have Panels with flock filling and full-grain leather from Argentina. There is also a show saddle with a classic design and English Sedgwick leather available.
The Advanced Movement System (AMS®), synthetic wool flocked panels, the X-Changeable easy change gullet system, leather-covered buttons, and completely stitched flaps are all examples of traditional craftsmanship. Combining AMS and synthetic flocking is an attempt to get with the newer technologies although the combination misses the mark of comfort for your horse.
This is a historically styled riding saddle that may easily be utilised to participate in dressage or shows. The deep seat and concealed seams give this saddle its neat features, while the moulded flap allows for more touch between the rider and the horse. Although there are many newer styled saddles with better technology Trainers historic style is efficient, albeit outdated.
For improved performance, The Trainer’s Jessica Pro also has the well marketed neoprene Advanced Movement System (AMS®) see below for description.
What exactly is X-Change System?
Using just a screwdriver and one of the adjustable gullet plates, the rider may easily alter the width of the tree in just six simple steps. It really is that easy!
The integrity and appearance of the saddle are not altered by this approach. The feel and strength are identical. Any horse’s back and withers can be fitted by the tree. You can adjust the tree’s size from Narrow to Extra Super Wide.
Is AMS® something I need?
Sold and marketed as A unique neoprene layer is used in the AMS® System to create a soft, constant layer to support the rider’s weight on the horse’s back. It is a fancy way of saying neoprene under the flocking so no lumps form on your horses back. Neoprene is incredibly hot and so it would be wise to put a fairly generous saddle cloth underneath to prevent heat scalding of your horses back.
The claim that the neoprene layer evenly disperses pressure and absorbs impact, letting your horse to move comfortably and efficiently is a bold one as a saddle cloth would do the same thing. Like a typical wool flocked saddle, AMS® panels can be re-flocked and customised to fit your horse which can be beneficial however it is the hot neoprene on the outer horse side of the flocking that is the worry. The AMS® System’s weight distribution apparently considers the horse athlete’s physiological needs. This all sounds great but basically it is an extra layer of neoprene on top of flocking.
Sold as the ideal fusion of comfort, equilibrium, and contact these saddles are an economical Argentinian made, well marketed brand of saddles which are made for Saddleworld as their budget saddle. This saddle range does have a Tree Warranty: 20-year Carbon Fibre Tree
