Protective cushioning

…CAIR Cushion System

The revolutionary CAIR Cushion System replaces the traditional fillings in your saddle panel with air.

There are two independently sealed air Cushions within each saddle panel.

The concept of air, as the ultimate in cushioning for your horse, is simple.

Air being a fluid medium will constantly adapt to the horse’s working muscles.

This means that your weight will be distributed evenly across the entire length of the cushion, virtually eliminating pressure points.

This extraordinary comfort results in freer movement, better carriage, and a happier horse.

For such a simple concept the dramatic difference the CAIR Cushion System makes to your horse’s comfort and performance is profound.
