Meredith Michaels Beerbaum Saddle

 

 

                

  

This saddle is designed and built with attention to every small detail, with the cooperation and suggestions of Meredith Michaels Beerbaum.  This saddle premiered to much fanfare at the Verona Trade Expo in November 2005. 

The tree is shape is designed so that riders sit comfortably without feeling as if it is too wide or narrow.  This allows riders to ride in the saddle with maximum contact to the horse throughout the total length of their thigh, all the way down to the knee.  The billets are positioned to allow the rider to close their leg without feeling the billets, further allowing close contact to the horse during jumping and flat work.

tThe M.M.B. saddle has medium sized rear blocks that are placed a bit further back than normal.  These blocks will give you additional support and stability in critical situations without interfering with normal riding or jumping situations. The front knee pads are ergonomically designed, and are treated to become more pliable with heat and friction.  As you ride, your knees will fit more perfectly into the blocks.The panels are thin and wide, maximizing comfort and movement for the horse’s back.Forward projection of the flaps is standard, but is available +2 cm or +4 cm.  The flaps are available in the following length: Extra Short, Short, Standard (Medium), Long, Extra Long, or Extra Extra Long.

 

The seat is available in the following full sizes: 16, 17, or 18.  The tree is available in any full size from 28-37 cm.  The M.M.B. is made of the best Italian calfskin, and like all Prestige saddles it is available in either Black or Tobacco.

Like all Prestige saddles the carbon fiber tree can be adjusted to meet the changing needs of today’s horses, and the quality and workmanship is unsurpassed. Tobacco.
