The “REVsport” saddle is ideal for ambitious riders wishing to compete. Its fixed seat is the evolution of the standard REV saddle seat. More sporty, it offers more contact and proximity between the rider and the horse, for a better connection. The addition of additional material to the seat at the ischial tuberosities provides more support, stability and comfort to the rider. These additional lateral supports allow precise use of the plate and legs. The aesthetics of the saddle are astonishing: its dynamic lines and distinctive design underline the sporting orientation of the “REVsport”.
Unique modularity – maximum comfort
Whether for hiking, show jumping or dressage, the REVsport saddle adapts to allow you to practice different disciplines. The three different types of quarters (for hiking, show jumping or dressage) can be easily exchanged thanks to a patented snap button system.
The patented and award-winning saddle tree was developed to distribute the pressure exerted during mounted work over a larger surface area of the horse’s back. The saddle seat is separated from the support surface by the cantilever shape of the tree. These characteristics allow the tree to absorb shocks and reduce jolts, for maximum comfort. This unique form does not in any way prevent normal use of the aid.
The double stirrup knives offer two positions for the legs, forward (jumping) or backward (dressage). The dressage quarters have a narrow, elongated shape and feature large front cleats. Show jumping quarters have a wider, forward cut. In addition to their front cleats and their small rear cleats, cleat extensions can be added using a hook-and-loop system for greater stability. The hiking quarters have a very wide cut to offer great freedom of movement. The large front cleats still provide the grip and stability sometimes necessary for long distances on varied terrain.
Adaptability and pressure distribution
The large support surface of the saddle on the horse’s back is another of the specificities of this saddle. Its design is the result of years of analysis which ensured that the saddle adapts to a wide variety of horses. Unlike traditional trees, this saddle offers a continuous support surface on the horse’s back, from front to back. The rear of the tree is somewhat flexible, which gives the horse maximum freedom of movement. These characteristics allow the tree to absorb shocks and reduce jolts, for maximum comfort.
As soon as the rider sits in the saddle, the front of the saddle opens very slightly if necessary to adapt to the horse and relieve the forehand so that the horse’s shoulder can move freely.
In exceptional cases, the saddle tree can be adapted to horses with particularly narrow and high withers or very broad backs, simply by screwing wedges into the arch.
Who is this saddle suitable for?
The REVsport saddle is perfect for versatile riders who want to practice different disciplines. Thanks to its innovative saddle tree which allows uniform pressure distribution, the REVsport is particularly suitable for horses with sensitive backs. This makes it the ideal choice for riders who want to enjoy longer, more comfortable and more varied rides with their horse. The REVsport is also designed for ambitious professional riders wishing to improve their horse’s performance in the long term by offering them greater shoulder freedom, back relief and optimal pressure distribution.
