The Rubino AS-X saddle introduces a breakthrough in design by integrating the revolutionary AS-X technology, a fusion of the Adaptive System and X-Technology. The patented Adaptive System is uniquely engineered to allow both axial and lateral bending, providing unmatched shock absorption and a tree that adapts seamlessly to the horse’s movements. The front of the saddle is crafted to minimize thickness for enhanced rider close contact, while the injected membranes of the unisex tree deliver exceptional stability. Ideal for disciplines like Hunter where close contact and precise communication are essential. The seat is offered in two depths: MD (medium deep), ideal for those seeking a more centered position, and MF (medium flat), designed for riders who prefer greater freedom of movement. The reduced under-thigh thickness further improves the connection between horse and rider, and the unstiched block design allows the sweatflaps to flex naturally with the horse’s shoulders. With five distinct panel options, including LPF versions (integrated, non-integrated, and FSF applied) and latex options (integrated and nonintegrated), this saddle is adaptable to all horse morphologies and rider preferences, ensuring both performance and comfort in competitive settings.
