From shop.lynnpalm.com:
Harris Leather was the first saddle maker to design the close contact cutaway under the skirt, which allows the rider’s leg to make closer contact with the horse. Now, over 90% of saddle companies and custom saddle makers have copied this highly effective design. In addition, the upper skirt is tapered to allow the rider’s thigh to remain in close contact with the horse, while allowing the leg to hang long.

Settle into the saddle and you’ll immediately notice the deep, secure seat allows you to sit naturally and comfortably on your seat bones. Designed to be the ideal combination seat for Equitation and Pleasure, this saddle puts you where you belong: not too far forward or too far back.

Soft, tanned leather on the fenders give that feel of “broke-in” leather from the very first ride, and the natural twist to the fenders enable them to mold to your leg. Thinner leather in the fenders offers the desired close contact and increased opportunity for better leg aids communication with the horse.

Rounded saddle skirts offer a perfect fit and a streamlined look for short-backed horses. The rounded skirts also make for a lighter weight saddle, perfect for us women riders, as well as young horses! You’ll find handy rings on the pommel and back skirts where you can attach additional equipment for trail riding or working.

The entire saddle is built on a rawhide-covered, hardwood tree that is especially designed to fit all horse breeds, and meticulously balanced to stay in the horse’s center of gravity.
