What is a half-size saddle?
We often hear about custom-made saddles. We now know that these are saddles that respect the morphology of each horse and each rider. However, we see more and more the mention “half size”, like our Atlas model. What is it about? Explanations.
Presentation of the Atlas half-measure saddle
Our half-measure saddle is a halfway house between a custom saddle and a standard saddle. Unlike mass-produced saddles, our Atlas saddle takes your body shape into consideration. In fact, you can choose the size of the seat and flaps, depending on your preferences. We offer different seat sizes and flap lengths to provide you with a saddle that fits your body.
For your horse’s comfort, we offer high density foam panels with shape memory properties. Thus, the saddle will naturally adapt to the shape of your horse’s back. As a result, the saddle will become more and more comfortable for your horse.
The right saddle for every discipline
Our Atlas half-measure saddle is available in three different models. Indeed, thanks to our experience of high-level riders, we know that each discipline requires its specific equipment. So, to allow all riders to have comfortable and quality equipment, we have adapted our offer.

Whatever the discipline, each Atlas saddle is customizable regarding seat size and flaps. In the same way, each saddle is made by craftsmen in our workshop in the South West of France. For the manufacture of the saddle, we opted for French nubuck for its properties of resistance and comfort. Furthermore, the Atlas saddles are designed with a leather bottom reinforcement to protect this area subject to friction.
The advantages of our Atlas half size saddle
For the rider, a saddle with personalized dimensions is a real guarantee of comfort. It allows you to forget about the problems and discomforts of having the wrong length flaps. In general, a saddle that fits you will help you ride in a good position, better for you and your horse.
Better comfort for better performance
With no discomfort from the saddle, you can ride naturally. It will no longer be necessary to compensate for a material defect with your position.
A half size saddle like our Atlas saddle will help you find a light, supple, fluid and efficient riding. Your riding will be more efficient and comfortable, but also more pleasant to look at.
Another significant benefit you will find in a half size saddle is the comfort it will provide your horse. As your riding becomes more and more accurate as you go along, your horse will be able to settle into the work in a way that is more comfortable for him. He will also not suffer from the physical compensations of inadequate equipment.
Thus, you will optimize your training, which will improve your performance while considerably limiting the risk of injury.
