Fairfax Race Close Contact Exercise Saddle

£395.00

Piping colour

The perfect exercise saddle provides the cushioning and spinal clearance the horse's back needs, while giving the jockey the closeness he wants. The Fairfax Close Contact Exercise saddle is the ideal combination of fit for the horse and feel for the jockey.

The improvement in performance and spinal health, along with the reduction in saddle-related back problems, makes the Fairfax Close Contact Exercise saddle a justifiable and essential investment.

Scientific trials show that the Fairfax Close Contact exercise saddle significantly reduces pressure on the horse's back in gallop, leading to increased stride length and power. Reduced saddle pressure also allows the horse to develop strength and topline through its training.
