Here are some key features of the Butet Practice Saddle:
-
Flat seat: The lack of a traditional contoured seat forces the rider to actively engage their core muscles and find their own balance.
-
Open pommel and cantle: This design allows for greater freedom of movement and helps the rider feel the horse's back and hindquarters more clearly.
-
No panels: The lack of panels allows for a closer connection with the horse and can help the rider develop a better feel for the horse's movement.
-
Lightweight: The Butet Practice Saddle is typically lighter than a traditional saddle, which can help the rider feel more connected to the horse and improve their balance.
The Butet Practice Saddle can be used for a variety of riding disciplines, including dressage, jumping, and hunter/jumper. It's also a great tool for riders who are working on recovering from injuries or who want to improve their overall fitness.
Here are some of the benefits of using a Butet Practice Saddle:
- Improved balance and position
- Increased core strength
- Better feel for the horse
- Improved communication with the horse
- Can help prevent injuries
If you're looking for a training saddle that can help you take your riding to the next level, the Butet Practice Saddle is a great option! However, it's important to note that these saddles can be challenging to ride in, especially for beginner riders, so it's best to ride under a qualified instructor when using.
Happy Riding!
