When we first found the Sensation Ride™ saddle, exquisitely and meticulously hand crafted by a small saddlery in Canada, we fully understood the meaning of the saddlery’s exclamation, “Love at first sit!”

You can really experience full freedom riding in the Sensation Ride saddle, which was designed initially as a bareback pad in 1993, and evolved from there. These extremely lightweight (about 6 lbs.), treeless saddles are now being sold all over the world and are offered in 4 model types: English, Dressage, Hybrid and the new Western.

 

The Sensation Ride saddle will introduce you to a whole new level of riding comfort that will undoubtedly prove to be an exciting riding experience. They are designed for low to medium withered horses (not high withered) and are especially well-suited for broad, round backed horses. Breeds most typical of this description include (but are not limited to): Morgans, Friesians, Andalusians, Missouri Fox Trotters, Icelandics, Draft and Draft crosses, Arabians, Quarter Horses, Canadians and Fjords.

 

Rider weight is also important when considering a saddle for you and your horse. The Sensation Ride saddle is recommended for riders under 200 lbs.

 

Many of our clients have asked for adjustability and customization in their saddles. With this saddle, you have both!

 

All the Sensation Ride saddles have adjustable stirrup placement, so you can move the stirrups forward or back and choose which works best for you and your riding style. With the aid of bolsters and placement of the stirrup leather base, you can alter the shape of the seat to suit your needs. This is particularly beneficial when more than one size of rider is using the same saddle. For instance, many of you have told us that you want to share your saddle with your child or partner or perhaps friends - this saddle is just perfect for that! And you can use this saddle on a variety of horses because there are no hard inserts which usually limit saddle fit.

 

Riders are now using their Sensation Ride saddles for trail, pleasure, endurance, dressage, jumping, hippo-therapy, on gaited horses, draft horses, mules and ponies. So read on, and learn more about the different Sensation Ride saddles and find the one that’s right for you!

Common features found on all Sensation Ride saddles:

• 3 options for stirrup leather hanging
• Hard-use – the saddle comes equipped with this set-up. This is a feature which shares stirrup loading throughout the whole saddle.
• Free swing – The rider may use their own English 1” stirrup leathers. Ideal for children, short legged riders and lighter riders.
• Endurance – An optional stirrup leather which maximizes weight distribution. For Riders 5’6” and taller.
• Easy do-it-yourself replacement and repair.
• Restuffing of the cantle is often necessary after a period of use, if the shape or density has changed in the cantle. This is easily done without the aid of a professional through the access slit.
• “Restuffing” of the panel area of the saddle. The panels of the Sensation saddles are made from a die-cut poly felt. These felt panels may be removed and replaced without the help of a saddler through the access slit in the underside of the saddle.
• Replacement seats. The seats of the saddles are made from soft leather for comfort. In time, the seats may show excess wear. Replacement seats can be purchased. Replacement is simple with Velcro.
• Shapeable seats.
• With the aid of bolsters and placement of the stirrup leather base, the rider can alter the shape of the seat to suit. This is particularly beneficial when more than 1 size of rider is using the same saddle.
• The seats of all the Sensation Ride saddles will break in and mold to the rider’s form – making it feel custom – fitted.
