Michael C. "I'm not someone who changes saddles quickly, thinking: the horse is running poorly and is having/is having problems - it needs a new saddle. In the 35 years I've been riding Icelandic horses, I've learned that it's unfortunately not that simple. After all, there are several other crucial factors involved, especially the rider.
The other way around makes more sense: a properly fitting, back-friendly saddle prevents problems. This was the main criterion for me when, after detailed consultation with my daughter Charlotte and Jana Stagneth, as well as intensive testing over several days, I decided on the new ePolar saddle. Fortunately, the saddle fits both of my horses well. Of course, the horses and I needed some time to get used to the new saddle, but positive effects were soon noticeable. I ride primarily cross-country and also go on longer rides.
This is where a good fit and suitable materials are particularly important. Now, after six months, I can say that the new saddle was the right investment, especially since it's quite affordable and therefore offers very good value for money."
