The Intrepid Calf Skin Dynamic Dressage Saddle was designed by FEI level international rider, trainer and clinician Peter Grigoriev after years of study and experimentation in conjunction with the most talented master saddlers. Dynamic: a basic force, especially one that motivates, affects development or stability pertaining to or characterized by energy or effective action. Active or energetic: pertaining to force related to motion. Thats why!!! These are all words that we like to see in reference to our horses: Motivation, Development, Stability, Active and Energetic. The Dynamic Tree gives the horse true freedom of movement and transfers part of the energy of the hind end into lateral dynamics of its body. This allows and enhances the lateral flexion, while maintaining the structure of the saddle and all dimensional flexibility. In other wordsthe horse is able to bend and the tree bends with him without the saddle losing its structural integrity. It also allows a rider to take a classical seat, encouraging the horse to engage and carry the riders weight from the hind end. Under the riders weight the tree accepts the shapes of the horses body, not only while at rest but while in motion as well. It changes shape in the same way as the horses body does while moving, growing and developing. This makes the saddle fitting challenge a far less daunting task. The Saddle is designed to accommodate the anatomy and biomechanical ability of horses and riders; for both men and women. When properly positioned on the horses back, it positively effects the static and dynamic equilibriums and gives maximum freedom to the shoulders. The Dynamic tree of the saddle fits most horses; high withered as well as wide backed animals and nearly all in between. Because the fit is correct, it gives real freedom of movement and allows non restricted lateral flexion. The flexible properties allow the saddle, under the riders weight, to produce lateral aids, directed from t
