Another Schleese Innovation Launching Shortly
Once again Schleese leads the world of saddle fit! After having worked with over 150,000 saddle fit evaluations in the last 40 years, we have come to the realization that something needs to change. More and more veterinarians are recommending the need for not annual, not bi-annual, but quarterly saddle fit adjustments to truly accommodate the horse’s changing conformation! This is just unrealistic and unsustainable for any saddlery; for any saddle fitter! That means for every saddle sold, another three visits every year to adjust it – not to mention the expense, effort and time for the client!
So – we have come up with the most innovative solution in saddlery yet – our Bi-NateLine™ (BNL) saddles made on our infinitely adjustable lightweight AdapTree®, which outperform any other tree on the market today – be it English or Western! We are working to publish a couple of papers with several universities which will observe the strictest research protocols with statistical samples of more than the seemingly universally accepted 10 horses per paper. For now, our anecdotal experiences with 500 x that number every year gives us all the credibility we need to illustrate the FACTS we know. We use only state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment such as the Seaver Horse girth, which scientifically monitors equine heart rate and gait symmetry with its electrodes as well as various jumping stats such as average height and take-off angles, the MediLogic® computerized saddle pad, plus a Polar Heart Rate Monitor and thermographic imaging camera to help determine optimum fit.
The evolution of even our own saddles over the years brings truth to the innovations we have developed. In the past, our saddles had narrow gullets, no shoulder relief, were not gender appropriate. Over the years our constant interaction with equine professionals at all levels have led to the necessary changes that we now know are best for horse and rider. Our most recent innovation – the PSI panel – gets rave reviews from our clients and super results that even a non-horse-person can recognize in the way the horses move.
Working with a 5* international Olympic level judge (and listening to what else our clients want – (softer, closer seat, lighter saddle, less saddle fitting required) we have now added the Bi-NateLine™ to the PSI panel. In essence, it is the ultimate wedding of Western and English worlds – since horses that have been ridden in the western saddles traditionally have always needed to be comfortable as they were considered to be “working” horses. English saddles were always more about ‘fad’ rather than function. So we have combined the two to make a beautiful English saddle that not only conforms to the ‘look’ of the ‘fad’ – but will absolutely perform the function of keeping the horse comfortable and moving optimally to perform at its best.
With this new Bi-NateLine™ Schleese secures its position as the leading ‘horse-friendly’ manufacturer in the world, by creating a saddle that not only combines form with function but provides the lowest pounds per square inch pressure distribution on the horse’s back with the PSI panel. Avoiding the sensitive reflex points on the horses back, Schleese has created a saddle line with the Bi-NateLine™ that will support a longer-lasting softer, closer, saddle fitting, which is unmatched in today’s market and will become the new standard.
Any saddle we have made can be retrofitted to offer all of our clients this same experience. We still offer our traditional saddle line on the regular infinitely adjustable patented AdapTree®, all of which can be updated as an option with the PSI Panel, however, we can foresee that the future of saddles sold by Schleese will be part of the Bi-NateLine™ reality.
