WOW Performance

Developing horses muscles that carry the rider without any pressure points in any gait or in any discipline.
Horse are better athletes as muscles are trained
Free of interference from pressure points of the saddle.

Horses backs are like people’s shoulders, they are

not designed for carrying loads,
muscles of locomotion.

A WOW is important for the unique design that protects horses balance
Connecting the hindlegs, along and through the back
Telescoping the neck and head
Depends on the tilt of the pelvis
To the forelegs
Which are free to rotate from the shoulder.

Symmetry comes before true balance is possible.
WOW performs with an easy opportunity for symmetry
Allows horses muscles to build
Weight is dispersed to eliminate pressure points.

Symmetry with a WOW saddle
balance and even development in the horse

WOW saddles even out weight bearing pressure
Eliminate pressure points
Forms and flexes with horses movement
Free restrictions
Providing comfortable resistance for muscles to move against
Absorb impact shock on landing over fences
Protect riders from jarring shock.

Rider Effect on a Horse

Is there anybody you know with one leg shorter than the other? Who is going to the chiropractor to get their hips level? Luckily when you walk your pelvis can tilt and rotate to compensate for your gait. When you are seated in the saddle and virtually walking and running on your seat bones the pelvis cannot do it. That pelvis is busy bearing your weight. It is not compensating for your gait. Instead your rotational compensation patterns are felt by the horse. The horse takes up your patterns, known as asymmetry.

In a saddle you are sitting over the skeletal system that bears your weight, the thoracics. Thoracics do not swing like hips, not in people nor horses. What happens? Your asymmetry becomes embedded in the muscles of the horse. It becomes the asymmetry of your horse.

I hope instead of feeling stuck you are feeling a big aha moment.

Happily, your WOW saddle makes it easy for you to protect your horse. The horse will know you to be the perfect person you desire to be. Moreover his muscles will change and develop symmetry. And your riding skills will advance.

The vicious circle, the hamster treadmill, the chicken or the egg question, just got solved, by WOW saddles. You are off and running now, wow!
(on a personal note, it’s more like walk halt transitions and straightness, still – woohoo)

WOW Competitor and WOW Club Saddles

What is the difference? A WOW Competitor has more modular options that the rider can change to meet the training changes.
A WOW Club costs less.
A WOW saddle can be custom made with many of the cost saving options.

The Saddle Shop has everything it takes to mix and match for rider suitability, horses build, and budget.
