Fairfax Racing Saddle

The Fairfax RACING saddle




MAY 2020 - News Flash
The Fairfax Saddlery team announced the launch of their new website, detailing the pressure testing, design, and production of the Fairfax racing saddle. Their extensive studies have shown the racing saddle trees currently in use are producing undue pressure and friction and that the new thought process has revealed some astounding results!

New Era...The technological advances used in sport horse research are sparking a new era in racing, enhancing our understanding of the physiological and biomechanical demands on the horse and helping improve longevity and welfare.

Pliance Pressure Testing Results

The Pressure’s On
Researchers used a combination of pressure mapping and gait analysis to investigate the designs of commonly used exercise saddles: full tree, half tree, and three-quarter tree. The aim was to identify pressure magnitude and distribution under each of the saddles then to establish whether the gait (gallop) was improved in a new saddle designed to remove these pressures. 

Flying Star Saddlery offers the new Fairfax racing saddle!

We are proud to represent Fairfax Saddles and recommend the newly developed Fairfax Racing Saddle.

What are these things!?! The image shows the tools needed for a Patrick Saddlery sales representative. The implements are used to provide Patrick's team with the information required to begin creating your 'MADE-TO-MEASURE' Patrick Saddle!! The exacting standards of Patrick Keane, Master Saddler are a great addition to the Flying Star saddle fitting process. It is quite an honor to work with a saddler as accomplished as Patrick Keane. To measure for a Patrick semi to a full custom saddle, we use exacting methods to take 28 specific measurements of your horse, including the length of its back and its height. This information is transferred to a horse simulation tool at the workshop in Walsall England. 🔻🔻🔻 There will be demo saddles for you to try and we will ask you to sit in one of our grid saddles to ensure perfect block placement. We will also take you through a process to establish which saddle tree would best suit you and your horse. F
