	Seatbone Saver

Designed by Heather Moffett, when she developed bursal enlargements of the seatbones in her pursuit of the Classical Seat! The average saddle has a solid type of foam in the seat, and is then covered in a drum tight piece of leather. This is not very forgiving to the seatbones, which can easily become bruised and damaged with long hours in the saddle. Heather was, disastrously for a professional horsewoman, unable to ride for several months, until she developed the Seatbone Saver. Since then, (twelve years ago), she has suffered no more problems.

The secret is the foam inside the pad - developed for use in American military pilot’s seats, to withstand the ‘G’ forces of ejector seats. The foam moulds to the rider’s shape, and unlike ordinary plastic or latex foams, does not spring back, taking a few seconds to return to shape. This assists the rider to absorb the movement of a big-moving or bouncy horse, and is also great for back sufferers. The outer cover being made of suede does not slip on the saddle, and the pad fits in seconds by means of adjustable straps, which fit discreetly under the saddle flaps, keeping the pad very secure.

Rider stability and position in the saddle are greatly assisted, because instead of sitting on top of a slippery, hard seat, the rider sinks into the suede-covered foam. They are ideal to take on riding holidays, transforming the comfort of even the hardest saddle. When the rider is comfortable, he or she moves less in the saddle, making life easier for the horse.

Saddles can feel very different in balance from one model to another, and this can affect the rider’s balance and security. Many riders have remarked that the Seatbone Saver affords a continuity of feel to each saddle.

Recently redesigned to give an even better feel and fit, the Seatbone Saver is available in black or brown suede.

Not only are they comfy but the difference it made to my riding was unbelieveable. I could actually sit in deep enough to 'feel' the horse, which I've struggled to do for years! Made sitting trot a breeze! I'm SO pleased with it! Every (horsey) home should have one!

It took lots of deep thought before I splashed out and bought a SBS. Now I won't take it off the saddle. I have shown in it, and my daughter has done Hunter Trials, show jumping etc with it. She's 12, and sits so much more securely in the saddle - no more sliding about and fidgeting. As the ads say - 'I wouldn't use anything else'

Bless the Seat Bone Saver!! I have just done a weekend hacking in the Black mountains in South Wales - and even through the SBS I could feel how hard the saddle was - just think how bad it would have been without one! 6hrs plus in the saddle each day - and not a sore bum to show for it!! Hurrahh for the SBS!!

I've had my Heather Moffett SBS for so long now, that it's has actually gone shiny with having my rear end parked on it for so long. But it's still wonderful. Get a seatbone saver...you must. They're brilliant, and it helps the horse too, if you're not so clever at controlling the rise and fall of your trot. Good for church sermons........council meetings..........watching telly........need I go on! No rider should be without one!!!
