The Cowboy Dressage Saddle by Len Brown - A Perfect Blend of Tradition and Innovation
Tradition Meets Innovation in Cowboy Dressage Saddles
Cowboy dressage is more than a riding discipline; it celebrates harmony between horse and rider. At The Corrector, we understand the importance of the right saddle in achieving this connection. The Cowboy Dressage Saddle by Len Brown embodies the perfect blend of tradition and innovation to enhance your cowboy dressage experience. Here's what makes this saddle stand out.
Why the Cowboy Dressage Saddle Stands Out
Finding a saddle that balances the needs of both horse and rider can be challenging. Comfort, performance, and style are all essential. The Cowboy Dressage Saddle achieves this balance through a thoughtful combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology. Whether you're a seasoned rider or just starting, this saddle is designed to meet your needs.
Unique Features of the Cowboy Dressage Saddle
Lightweight and Compact Design
Measuring 25 inches in length and weighing only 28 pounds, this saddle is shorter than a traditional barrel saddle. Its lightweight design allows for greater freedom of movement for the horse while being easier for riders to handle. Despite its compact size, it doesn't compromise on durability or functionality.
A Modern Twist on the Chuck Shepard Fork
The Chuck Shepard fork has been widened to a 7-inch gullet, offering a stable and secure fit for the horse. This wider design enhances weight distribution and strengthens the rider's connection to the horse—a critical element in cowboy dressage.
Custom Cantle and English Bars
The foundation of the saddle features English bars and a cantle design inspired by Len Brown's Premier Dressage Saddle. Developed 30 years ago, this design has stood the test of time. Riders can choose between a Pencil Roll cantle for a minimalist look or a Cheyenne Roll cantle for a more traditional, rounded appearance.
Bareback Cut™ for Close Contact
The Bareback Cut™ is a standout feature that promotes close contact between horse and rider. Removing excess layers of skirting leather under the thigh and replacing it with a single layer of seat leather over sheepskin allows riders to feel the horse’s movements more clearly. This design enhances communication and harmony during rides.
Advanced Stirrup Strap and Rigging System
The recessed loop for the stirrup strap eliminates bumps, providing free-swinging movement for the rider and added comfort for the horse. The innovative 3-point rigging system allows you to adjust the saddle's placement. Riders can position it using front, centre, or rear rigging slots to ensure a perfect fit.
ProTecTOR Pad for Added Comfort
Each saddle has a specially designed ProTecTOR pad tailored to match the size. This pad offers lightweight comfort and close-contact support in 30" or 32" lengths. It ensures both horse and rider enjoy maximum protection and performance.
