The aim of everything we design is to improve horse & rider performance by enhanced freedom of movement, position and communication.
What makes Fairfax Saddles unique is that the benefits of our designs are thoroughly researched, independently tested and scientifically proven
- The research teams consist of credible scientists
- They use validated measuring systems that remove any doubt about the results (see testing method)
- The data is analysed and interpreted independently, without bias. Fairfax is not involved
- The studies are deemed ’sufficiently powered’. This means the sample size of horses and riders is adequate to produce conclusive results
- Vets and scientists write scientific papers confirming the results which are closely examined by other experts to ensure the research stands up to scrutiny. These are then published in scientific journals (this is not the same as being published in a magazine - see scientifically proven)
- Our research is regularly selected for presentation at the British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) Congress and the International Conference on Equine Exercise Physiology. This world-wide recognition demonstrates the research is scientifically credible and valid
- Fairfax's continued research and innovation has seen the company recognised with the Queen's Award for Innovation in 2018
