WHY BUY RP SADDLES?: The Benefits Of Using Reactorpanel Saddles

If a ReactorPanel Saddle is working for your horse, you will observe visible changes. Sometimes these differences are immediate and dramatic, although it can take a few weeks for the horse to "believe" in the saddle and to demonstrate new and freer movement.

Among the positive changes you are likely to see right away when you start using a ReactorPanel Saddle (read on for longer term benefits):

• Longer strides and freer movement
• Some horses offer a more balanced and collected canter
• Expanded lateral capabilities in movements such as the half-pass
• Freer movement and longer strides while traveling downhill
• Better access to the difficult side in one-sided horses, and resulting straightness
• Increased rider comfort and security

The ReactorPanel Saddle is a flexible panel saddle designed to produce low, even pressure underneath the entire saddle. This encourages the horse to work from the hindquarters and to come "through" with a relaxed back. A pain-free horse can achieve and maintain the rounded frame so important for athletic performance in all disciplines—dressage, endurance, cross-country, or jumping.

The long-term benefits of using ReactorPanel's two-part flexible panel saddle system can include:

• Recovery of wasted muscle and damage from poorly-fitting saddles
• Increased athletic performance and overall muscling due to freedom under saddle
• Easier transitions and less resistance on the part of the horse
• Reduced sweating and possibly heart rate during arduous periods of work (Lower pulse rates have been reported by endurance riders using heart-rate monitors but are undocumented.)
• Dramatic reduction or elimination of back pain, verified by equine bodyworkers and chiropractors
• Improved temperament, especially when being saddled
• Increased shoe life, more even wear patterns on the shoes, and less toe dragging
• Reduction or elimination of knee and back pain in riders

Not even the ReactorPanel Saddle fits all horses or solves all saddle fitting problems, but we have found that most horses benefit from its use. While testing, you may need to pay close attention to your horse, because changes in behavior and way of going are not always dramatic or instant.

Before buying a ReactorPanel Saddle we insist you try the saddle of your choice free for two-weeks. During this trial period you can test ride the dressage saddle, jumping saddle, endurance saddle or trail saddle of your choice.

ReactorPanel Saddle Company offers a full line of 15 english saddle designs to choose from, each of which can be custom fit to you and your horses needs. Each of our dressage saddles, jumping saddles, endurance saddles and trail saddles can be custom fit and are fully adjustable to help your horse perform in ultimate comfort.
