Bordeaux Demo Saddle

Discover the Bordeaux saddle, a new affordable wool-flocked option built with advanced engineering for superior performance. Its core is a highly flexible Waycan plywood tree, renowned for its ability to maintain its shape under rigorous use. This innovative tree is further fortified with "tempered" and pre-molded steel reinforcements, a design that eliminates traditional rivets and creates a more cohesive, stronger frame. The result is enhanced flexibility and fewer connection points, improving overall structural integrity. With solid stainless steel stirrup bars and a precisely tensioned nylon strap system that shapes the seat for ideal depth, the Bordeaux offers a ride that's both secure and responsive.

Saddle Tree: This saddle is equip with an altered Barnes Spring Tree. Handcrafted and constructed highly flexible Waycan plywood tree, renowned for its ability to maintain its shape under rigorous use and reinforced in the arches with a steel plate. This allows for ultimate longevity the perfect base for form our panels off of. The Bordeaux Spring Tree is is also adjustable by a certified fitter. 

Panels: Excellent panels are essential to the health of a horse's back. This is why we offer two forms of panels, soft foam or wool. The performance between the two are extremely similar, however, foam is better suited for saddles on multiple horses. We also offer two styles of panels, French or Standard, both of which are stylistic preference. French panels are thinner while our Standard panels are thicker. Regardless of your preferences, all Barnes saddles are designed to support and protect your horse specifically. We highly recommend working with your saddle fitter to get the appropriate width of your panels.

Flaps: We have standard dimensions as well as custom shapes that we can collaborate with your fitter over. All of our flaps are ergonomically designed and thoughtfully crafted for contact with the horse.

Seat: Always made with the rider in mind, we create every seat with the most comfortable, yet connected ride possible. Seats range from 16.5 to 18 depending on the build/height of the rider. (Additional sizes may be available. Please reach out if you are looking for a size not listed)
