What to do when you love your horse, but would rather ride bareback than have a bad fit? Canadian Chantal St. Pierre, Kinesiologist and Physical Education Professor, is thrilled to have found saddles that make so much biomechanical sense for her Trakehner/Dutch WB mare Colette.

I had to share a photo of me and my horse in his EQ monoflap jumping saddle! It has changed our lives!

As a trainer I have the opportunity to sit in many different saddles on a variety of horses. Some are preferable to others, but this is the first time I’ve been truly wowed

Like many horses, my horse is incredibly sensitive. Now, having the benefit of using the EQ saddle, Banner listens to my slightest body aids and I’ve seen a huge surge in his capacity to pick up on the tiniest of requests.

Penny Greenwood and Heart (Draft/TB mare) have been partners for 11 years and they have shown up to 4th level together.

On the first ride I was pleasantly surprised that Zippy had some “Zip”! He was more forward, lighter on the forehand and actually willing to use his back. I love that as he is developing his topline muscles, enjoys his work and is way more forward.

After 4 years of searching - I finally found a saddle that fits!

The saddle instantly felt comfortable and put me in a good line up, without effort. The closeness of having no flaps on a saddle is something that must be experienced to be appreciated.

Barbara Goshorn has been a customer over five saddles and nearly 20 years!

Trainer and USDF Gold Medallist Liz Hendrix was shocked to see her long-term partner transform in just two weeks!

Diane Abraham's Dasha develops symmetry and power while Diane's hips stop hurting in EQ Flapless while this saddle has taken them from 2nd level to Prix St. Georges in just 2 1/2 years.

Alessandra Ferrucci brings Holsteiner/Andalusian Anastasia from "stuck" to Second Level; this same saddle fits and works on her FEI ride, HF Sagacious!

Michele Ng and William "Boca", long time supporters, switched to flapless and rocked up the levels; they are currently showing 4th level and getting great scores in July 2019!

Mika McKinney 1995-2018 loved the stability of the EQ Flapless saddle, which let her ride symmetrically while she fought a rare form of bone cancer - and lost. RIP, Mika.

Dr. Stephane Valberg's Thoroughbred transformed from a bucker into a performer with EQ Flapless Dressage and Jump saddles.

Kerri Coufal and Bon Ami broke out at Prix St. Georges and Intermediare! This elegant pair won the Virginia Regional Championship at PSG while testing prototypes of our Flapless Saddle System in 2017.

USDF Gold Medalist,trainer and judge Anne Howard rides asymmetrical Rondo in EQ's flexible saddles. In June, 2019, after switching to flapless, this 21-year-old horse broke 70% at Grand Prix!

The EQ team was incredible to work with. Carmi W answered my initial email almost immediately, and everyone has been extremely supportive over the last few months. The Rehab Program was a wonderful approach for someone in my situation who wasn’t sure if there horse would ever be rideable again.

I got more out of my young horse in the first two weeks in EQ than in six months of training. Willingness to move forward was a big issue. I attributed it to immaturity and all the scary things the world presents to a riding horse starting out. In my EQ, right away he was willing to move forward, and is now very forward. The scary things are still scary but we can get past them.
