The wider saddle channel allows maximum clearance of the horse's spine and withers to allow for greater freedom of movement under saddle, as well as broader surface contact with the horse's back for overall better fit. With Freedom Panels, the saddle panels are lowered (without impacting the width of the saddle tree) to create a wider saddle channel. This saddle also features Passier's Freedom® Panel System to provide optimized wither clearance, making this saddle excellently suited to horses with wide or particularly sensitive withers. The tree is made from a wood laminate reinforced with bamboo to allow for tremendous flexibility for both the rider's feel and the horse's comfort. The tree for this model is wider at the back allowing for a roomier, extra deep, and softly padded seat.
