The Fhoenix and The Vogue - Flexible Concept Saddle

The Fhoenix range feature a revolutionary design unlike any other saddle on the market. The manufacturing process is unique in saddle-making, unlike other "treeless" saddles where there are solid components front and back, the Fhoenix only has a small rigid cantle giving the rider's seat support, and cannot be felt by either horse or rider. It is best described as a "SoftTree" saddle.

The "SoftTree" is built up from layers of materials, tested and chosen for their shock absorbing and pressure resisting properties, but also shaping the seat to feel much more like a treed saddle for the rider. This "SoftTree" enables the saddle to flex with every oscillation of the horse's back, giving great freedom of movement, with no restriction of the shoulders or hindrance of the lifting of the horse's back.

The whole seat and flexible front arch are made from 45mm thickness of the Seatbone Saver memory foam, into which the rider sinks, giving great depth of seat and exceptional comfort.

The moulded replaceable panels are designed to give a traditionally gulleted underside to the saddle. With the addition of padding for horses with muscle wastage, it is possible to fit almost any horse. The Fhoenix and The Vogue saddle range offer unrivalled comfort to both horse and rider, combining the flexibility and best characteristics of a treeless saddle, but with the rider support of a treed saddle.

The saddles should be always used with a so called "high wither" cut saddle cloth or numnah, which will fit well up into the front arch of the saddle, not pulling across and down and causing pressure on the wither as often happens with the usual cut of saddle cloths and numnahs - all should be cut high at the front - thereby eradicating this common problem.

The Fhoenix

The Fhoenix soft tree saddle is available in either dressage or GP variants, the GP being of a VSD style. It is completely competition legal for all disciplines.

The Fhoenix saddle is available with a choice of either butt leather flaps which gives it more of the appearance of a traditional saddle, or with the flaps made from the same soft Italian leather hide as the rest of the saddle which mould around the rider's leg immediately without any 'breaking in' period.

The Fhoenix is available with suede seat and/or knee pads at no extra cost, and the soft leather flaps can also be adorned with decorative stitching.

"e" hook stirrup bars and angled girth straps.

There is an option to add extra D-rings on cantle for a small charge.

The Vogue

The Vogue is the flagship of the Fhoenix range. It is styled along the lines of the expensive monoflap dressage saddles, being almost indistinguishable in looks although with the benefits to horse and rider comfort of the SoftTree. It is completely competition legal for all disciplines.

The Vogue is styled without skirts over the "e" hook stirrup bars giving the closest possible contact with the horse.

The Vogue is available in three variants, a dressage style and two styles of general purpose saddle. All three models of saddle are available in black or brown, in 17" or 18" with the option of suede seat and/or knees at no extra cost. The flaps can be made with or without the decorative stitching, giving a wide range of style options.

The Vogue dressage has Heather Moffett's trademark set-back stirrup bars enabling the rider to achieve an instant 'ear-shoulder-hip-heel' alignment.

The Vogue GPS is styled like a VSD saddle and is suitable for riders who wish to do general riding and small jumps.

The Vogue GPT is suitable for the taller rider with long legs, who may not be able to ride with their stirrups shortened on the GPS without their leg protruding too far off the front of the flap.

Both the GPS and the GPT are true GP saddles with the flap cut so that it is still possible to ride with the stirrups at flatwork length without the rider's leg coming off the back of the saddle.

There is an option to add extra D-rings on cantle for a small charge.

Supplied with a set of panels and a pair of moveable knee rolls. The customer can choose between large or small knee rolls depending on their preference, and it is also possible to purchase extra sets of knee rolls.

Each of the thee models of Vogue (dressage, GPS, GPT) are also available in a limited edition deluxe version. Featuring specialy selected, cognac coloured, Italian hide these saddles provide a unique alternative to the standard black and dark havana leather. A swatch of the cognac leather can be provided upon request. Price of the Vogue Deluxe is £1,500.00.

If you have any specific customisation that you would wish to have applied to your saddle please do not hesitate to contact us. Examples would be - extra D rings, change in seat depth, lower cantle and so on. Custom orders will need to be paid for on submission of the order.

Trial saddles available. To order the saddle please contact us. Usually, the waiting time for new saddles is about 4 weeks.
