AKB WB4

The AKB WB4 saddle is designed to help both horse and rider achieve maximum performance. Featuring the unique WB4 tree, it enhances the horse’s movement with an upward impulse. This promotes better balance, correct muscle use, and suppleness in motion.

The innovative adaptive knee block provides complete freedom of movement for both horse and rider. It prevents the rider’s knee from locking into the knee roll, allowing maximum shoulder freedom for the horse. Additionally, the saddle helps the rider maintain a longer, more stable leg position, improving pressure on the stirrup and enhancing posture. This directly contributes to the horse’s freedom of movement.

By opening the rider’s leg, the saddle naturally aligns the rider with the horse’s motion, avoiding counter-movement and giving the horse full freedom of movement.

 

Characteristics

Similarities between all of our different models is that each saddle allows the rider to feel their seat bones and it invites the rider to lengthen the leg and have pressure on the ball of the foot in the stirrup.
