The Hennig Sofa is the ultimate in comfort for you and your horse. Double soft `Sofa` leather throughout. Hennig has strategically placed cut-outs in the tree to alleviate pressure in the area of the pommel and seat bones. The extremely soft seat and specially designed `shock absorbing` tree make this saddle especially suitable for those riders who need a more comfortable ride and for those horses that really use their backs. Available in Black. Brown is available by special order.
Jochen Hennig is today`s most innovative and cutting edge saddlemaker in the world. His patented tree design provides uniform weight distribution and the best
communication between rider and horse. His state of the art tree design has allowed for the maximum freedom of movement for the horse. There is no impingement of the shoulder movement because the tree points are angled back and the flap of the saddle is cut back. The tree is adjustable by our qualified saddlers allowing for a customized fit to any horse. Reverse buffalo leather is used on seats, thigh blocks and padded flaps. This leather is extremely soft, long wearing and naturally adds grip. Choose outer thigh blocks or regular hidden thigh blocks. Custom options include double soft leather on flaps or buffalo leather throughout with double soft flaps. Wool flocked panels and long billlets.
When `Movement Disturbs Movement`
The shoulder muscles of the horse react to movement and increase greatly in size when the leg is pulled back. If the shoulder muscles do not have enough space because the saddle is interfering, the rear of the saddle will move from side to side. A gullet steel, in the pommel area, that is too long and straight is the main reason for the saddle moving from side to side and in extreme cases over the horse`s spine. A poorly fitting saddle may cause many back problems including injury to the spine and tight muscles.
