Did You Know? – Key Features in an Arena Saddle 🐴✨

🎥 In this video, we’ll take a look at the different adjustment options available in Arena saddles, and how they can help you achieve the perfect fit for your horse.

Arena saddles are designed to combine performance, comfort, and advanced technology, making them a popular choice for riders who want flexibility and support in a modern saddle. 💙

When choosing or fitting an Arena saddle, there are several key features that help make them adaptable to a wide range of horses.

Adjustable Gullet System 🔧

Arena saddles are fitted with an Easy-Change Gullet System, allowing the width of the saddle to be adjusted for a more tailored fit.

This is especially useful for:

🐴 Horses developing muscle and topline
⚖️ Horses gaining or losing condition
🔄 Horses that change shape seasonally
📈 Riders wanting long-term fitting flexibility

Being able to adjust the gullet helps ensure the saddle can continue to fit correctly as your horse changes over time.

CAIR Cushion Panels – Part of the HART System ☁️

Unlike traditional flocked saddles, Arena saddles feature CAIR Cushion Panels, which form part of the HART (Horse And Rider Technology) system.

✨ CAIR panels use an air cushion system designed to provide consistent comfort and even pressure distribution.

Benefits include:

☁️ Soft, supportive cushioning
🧩 Even weight distribution across the horse’s back
💙 Reduced pressure points
🏇 Greater freedom of movement

This technology is designed to enhance comfort for the horse while supporting rider balance.

Easy-Change Riser System for Panel Customisation 📏

Did you know Arena saddles can also be adjusted further with the Easy-Change Riser System?

This works alongside the CAIR panels to help fine-tune the balance and panel fit.

Risers can be used to support horses who may need:

⬆️ More lift at the front for higher withers
🔽 Additional support through the back of the saddle
⚖️ Adjustments as the horse develops and changes shape

This makes Arena saddles highly adaptable for long-term fit.

Knee Blocks and Rider Support 🦵

Arena saddles are also designed with rider comfort and security in mind.

Depending on the model, they offer:

🔒 Supportive knee blocks for stability
✨ Ergonomic designs to encourage correct position
🏇 Options suitable for jumping, dressage, and general purpose riding

These features help riders feel balanced and supported in the saddle.

Girthing Options and Stability 🎯

Girthing plays a key role in keeping the saddle stable during movement.

Arena saddles offer practical girthing arrangements designed to suit a variety of horse shapes, helping to maintain correct saddle position and balance.

This can be especially helpful for horses who are:

🔄 Rounder or broader
⬆️ Narrow through the shoulder
🏇 More active in their movement

Why These Features Matter 💡

Arena saddles offer:

✅ Adjustable gullets
✅ CAIR Cushion Panels ☁️ (part of the HART system)
✅ Easy-Change Risers for customised balance 📏

All working together to help deliver a secure, comfortable fit for both horse and rider. 🐎✨
