More Shoulder Freedom and Withers Freedom
With Integrated Titanium Steel Head Iron for Extra Large Withers Freedom
WORLD FIRST IN SADDLE MAKING
The head iron, a metal bow that determines the tree width and holds the saddle in shape, is fitted on all conventional saddles on the underside of the saddle tree. A thin leather covering is all that lies here between the horse's sensitive spine and the hard iron.
Of course, the head iron of a well-fitted saddle should still touch neither the spine nor the horse's shoulder blade. But every horse keeps changing, even beyond the growth phase. It loses or gains a little weight with the change of seasons, or builds more muscle during intensive training phases, and the saddle that fit one hundred percent yesterday no longer fits quite so perfectly today.
The new invention by Iberosattel®, the EWF system (EWF stands for the German for extra-large withers freedom), offers even more freedom at the spine and for the shoulder, even if the saddle doesn't fit quite one hundred percent.
We have integrated the head iron so far into the plastic of our saddle trees that even in extreme cases no direct contact between iron and spine can occur anymore.
Thanks to considerably more withers and shoulder freedom with the saddle (up to 12 millimetres!), your horse moves more freely and relaxed.
The saddle tree with EWF system, one of several in-house Iberosattel® developments, is protected by the German Patent and Trademark Office.
