Wij gaan werken met het Tree Clix systeem waardoor we ook zadels met een houten boom kunnen veranderen! Een houten boom is natuurlijk het beste voor ruiter en paard maar dit heeft 1 nadeel: het is niet aanpasbaar aan het paard! Hieronder volgt een uitleg van het Tree Clix systeem. https://www.treeclix.com/treeclix-on-your-saddle/
Prevent discomfort, soreness, lameness and unwanted behaviour of your horse…
due to the wrong saddlewidth. TreeClix offers easy alteration of the width by only one clic, restoring balance, freedom of movement and correct saddle pressure.
Altering flock won’t do the trick sufficiently in most cases and adjusting the tree itself comes with high risks of damage and breakage. If not instantly, it will in the (nearby) future. Leaving you with huge expenses and/or buying a new saddle as the only option.
Use of a saddlepad
The (temporary) use of a saddlepad can help the horse out in some cases, but also this has it’s downsides. Pads don’t provide the stability that a correct tree width does and the use of a saddlepad will narrow the space in the gullet most of the times. The use of a saddlepad should be as temporary as possible, as it doesn’t take away the peak pressure of the affected area, it will only relieve it somewhat.
Also, using a pad will place the rider further away from the horse’s back, which isn’t what we want, regarding stability and contact between horse and rider.
The right fit with TreeClix
With the TreeClix system, your saddlefitter will be able to provide you and your horse with the right fit, balance and closeness to your horse, no matter the conditions.
As it’s not uncommon for the horse to gain and loose weight throughout the year, have your saddle checked at least twice a year and more often if necessary!
HELP! My horse is changing..
It’s quite funny we’re still surprised this is happening, because most of us are putting a lot of effort into accomplishing this.
By training, diet, age, injuries (and so on), horses can change condition rapidly. And still we are shocked when the saddle fitter tells us the saddle doesn’t fit as well as it used to or, even worse, it can’t be altered to get the right fit.
And even though there are saddles on the market which are width adjustable, this is restricted to the brands and models with a plastic tree, with limitations in variation and fit.
The TreeClix system makes it possible to endlessly alter the width of a wooden saddle tree, so bring on the change!
