The new Enlightened Equitation FlexEE saddle is a high quality synthetic saddle at an amazing price! Designed by well known classical seat trainer, Heather Moffett, the FlexEE saddle is built on a leather tree, a very old method of making a flexible saddle. The saddle, as with all Enlightened Equitation saddles, past and present, is ergonomically designed to allow the rider, even a total beginner, to sit in the correct ear/shoulder/hip/heel alignment with ease. The stirrup bars are set back on the dressage model to enable a very deep thigh position, and the large velcroed on knee rolls, (INCLUDED in the sale price!) that Heather has designed for this saddle, really assist with the deeper knee position.
