The CorrecTOR & ProTecTOR by Len Brown
SADDLE FIT, by the man that started it all!
The GET DOWN Roper has an 8.3” gullet with a 15.5” width fork. The fork swells swing back & down to give you 2 pads to rest & steady yourself against to throw that loop. The waist of the seat is narrow so you can ride all day in comfort. How can the gullet be wide & the seat narrow? It’s the bar Twist. As I twist the BARS out at the top in front, they get a steeper hourglass seat shape and narrower at the bottom bar foot in front. NO-PINCH TWIST means it doesn’t pinch withers, is straightened Ft. to R... and supported on the upper rib cage, outside the withers, by the bar foot on each side. This basic geometry is used in all my trees. It lets me send you a saddle without playing “SADDLE-FITTING GAMES”. Only the length is a concern to be sure the saddle is not too long for your horse’s back. A couple of text photos tells me that. Regards, Len Brown
The GET DOWN will MAKE YOU A BETTER ROPER EVERY TIME.
The NEW> POCKET HYBRID is made with an In-skirt Dropped D rigging. It still has the English Narrow waist seat & is shown in Chestnut leather.
If you have a sore horse from saddle soring etc., you've come to the right place.
has been bringing awareness of SADDLE FITTING problems to horseback riders world-wide since 1983.
Len did this through clinics, booklets, videos and inventing the Ortho-Flex Panel systems that attached to a saddle. He spent millions and fought the industry. IT CHANGED the WORLD OF THE HORSE. While ORTHO-FLEX became the largest saddlery in the US., there was never an article done in a major horse magazine! After having the 3 major publishers settle in an anti-trust legal action, Len shut the Company down in spring of 2001. It was not worth pursuing a battle with multi-billion dollar publishers supporting the rest of this industry. By 2003 Len designed a new device that has since been improving the life of horses and their owners alike!
The Corrector was made to eliminate having to buy a saddle to fix your horse's problems. It is made to work with any saddle and any horse or mule! Find new ways to solve your horse's saddle-fit problems while enjoying the site
Len Brown, the pioneer of this field,
These 1/10 inch thick "impact resistant" polymer Shields are NEVER USED DIRECTLY ON THE HORSE AS SHOWN under the CUTTER TREE above ! They are laminated in between layers of felt to make a single unit saddle-pad called "THE PROTECTOR" . Balance shims are then inserted into a pocket under the top layer of 1/8" WOOL FELT of the PROTECTOR PAD. This Combination is all you need under your saddle as the balance shims are used to take the "Rock" out of your tree bars & balance yourself & your saddle on the horse. THESE PROTECTIVE SHIELDS ARE INSIDE ALL PROTECTOR PADS and a 4MM felt LINER PAD is included so you never have to Wash your Protector. Balance shims come with the Protector as well.
The PROTECTOR is a pad with the patented CORRECTOR system built into it.It is : Closer, Softer,& Lighter, and has the 10" thick KYDEX Protective Shields built into the envelope pad.6 front & 4 rear 1/4” thick balance shims are std.w/ WESTERN PROTECTOR PADS. They slip in a pocket under the top 1/8” felt layer of the pad & over the PROTECTIVE SHIELDS.All PROTECTOR Models have a Liner Pad 4mm Felt that is shaped just like the Protector above it. An 1/8" Felt with Fleece Liner is available when ordering, in place of the 4mm felt Liner.Liners attach via 1” Elastic & Velcro at front & rear center of the Pad. NOW YOU don't HAVE TO WASH YOUR PROTECTOR PAD. New Liner Pads are available separately.Just remove the Liner & hose it off, let dry for a half hour, Velcro back on & ride.
The PROTECTOR
NO-FLINCH Cinch now has sew & riveted SEAT BELT WEB holding the buckles. The Cinch comes in lengths: 24.5” 27.5, 29.5, 31.5, 33.5, 35.5, to 37.5”. They are now Black leather with 1/4” shoe insole crepe lining against the horse. It’s silky feel prevents galling, absorbs NO SWEAT, and lasts up to 10 years. Just wipe clean & treat leather occasionally. It is a firm 7.75” at the Sternum and a flexible 2.25” at he elbow. The buckles are protected +the 1/2” extra length is the 1/4” extending past the buckle ends.
The NO FLINCH CINCH
The result of Len’s 38 yrs of Cinch making & innovation.
The BUTTERFLY RACER, my most popular barrel saddle starts at $3298 >Includes: Protector Pad w/Balance shims & 4mm Felt Liner Pad & my 2 long nylon latigo straps.
The BAROQUE is made on Len’s PINCH~TWIST English bars. The Sweat Flaps have 3 slots for western rigging using 1.75” nylon straps. This allows 3 rigging positions. The Line of stitching across the flap is where the under flap is attached. Len designed IN-FLAP rigging in the 1980’s. Here the flaps are sewn to saddle leather under the 3/8” neoprene & seat leather. This way, the FLAPS are holding saddle front rear leaving 1 layer of leather between your Thigh and Horse. Add the ProTecTOR Pad and you have a saddle that works on any horse. This is what creates true & lasting value in a saddle.
