What makes the ReactorPanels flexible two-part panel saddle design different?
Conventional saddles have wool and synthetic flocked, or pre-formed plastic foam panels that are sewn pockets on the bottom of the saddle. When “fitted” they are placed on an immobile horse, and a saddle that appears to make maximum contact under the panels with adequate clearance over the wither is deemed to “fit”. Little or no consideration is given to what will happen to the saddle fit when the horse moves. Conventional saddles often exert high pressures on the horse due a number of possible factors. High pressures occlude blood flow and can damage tissue and the muscles beneath the saddle. ReactorPanel has large, flexible saddle panels which reduce under-saddle pressures by as much as 75%. The saddle panels move with the horse, so a superior saddle fit is retained when the horse is in motion. Computer pressure tests verify that spots of higher pressure under a ReactorPanel saddle are usually intermittent and randomly distributed, rather than fixed. These factors ensure uninterrupte
