SEMI CUSTOM
ENGLISH SADDLES by
FORESTIER
Lynn Palm and Cyril Pittion-Rossillon of Palm Partnership
Training® have partnered with Forestier, one of the oldest and
most respected saddle makers in France to design a unique Hunt
Seat saddle. Lynn and Cyril have experienced many challenges in
finding the right English saddles to fit Quarter Horses, Appendix
Quarter Horses, Paints and other stock horse breeds. Most saddles
were too narrow, pinched the horse’s shoulders, slid back or were
truly unbalanced. Lynn and Cyril felt a strong need to conceive a
saddle that would accommodate the build of this type of horse.
The
Alliance “Trophee” boasts an innovative
tree design that is the first of its kind offered on the market.
The new “English Stock Horse Tree” is
specifically shaped so the saddle can rest absolutely level on the
horse’s back offering the rider perfect balance and the horse
ultimate freedom of movement! This special tree design also allows
the front panels to contour perfectly to the wide and round
shouldered horse. with the panels resting flat on the
shoulders, the pressure is distributed evenly from top to bottom
providing the horse with maximum comfort.
Alliance “Trophee”
offer several features:
- Small, even depressions in the front panels to mold around
the bulk of the shoulders
- Tapered middle paneling to increase saddle closeness and
stability
- Wide gullet to allow plenty of clearance for the spine
- Seat, knee rolls, front panels, and under paneling are
made of “plastozote”—Highly durable foam with a memory form.
It will keep its shape and density for many years.
- Three different levels of thickness in the back paneling
to maintain the saddle balance for many different shapes of
horses’ top lines.
- Versatile flap design to accommodate three lengths of
stirrups for Jumping, Hunt Seat Equitation/ Hunter Under
Saddle, & Lower Level Dressage
- Girth attachment set back to secure the saddle in place
- Alliance “Trophee” saddle are 100%
handmade and of the highest grade of French calfskin to
provide the rider with the greatest comfort and durability
The “Victoire” is a lower price point model that offers the
exact same tree and features as the “Trophee”. The saddle is
assembled in Morocco under the supervision of Forestier’s master
saddler. Seat, knee pads, and under paneling are make of French
calfskin. The small flaps and under flaps are make of top grain
Spanish hide.
The Alliance “Trophee” & “Victoire”
are the
first saddles of their kind specifically design for the
traditional stock horse breeds.
If you have a Quarter Horse, an Appendix Quarter Horse, a Paint
or an Appaloosa don’t look any further, we have the saddle for
you.
Your horse will thank us! !
