award: Red Dot Design Award

CarboTech is an innovative, single-flap saddle meticulously designed for riders seeking unparalleled connection with their horses.

At the core of CarboTech’s design lies its integrated anatomical blocks, strategically positioned on the knee rolls. These blocks not only offer unmatched support but also assist riders in maintaining the perfect position, allowing for maximum contact with the horse during every ride.

Tailored to suit the needs of sports horses, CarboTech embraces the astounding properties of carbon fiber. Renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, this cutting-edge material makes the saddle lighter, flexible, and incredibly durable, ensuring optimal performance throughout its lifespan.

Aesthetics meet functionality as the front of the saddle proudly displays a reinforced carbon fiber overlay. This innovative construction further elevates the saddle’s resilience, instilling confidence in both rider and horse, even during the most demanding equestrian pursuits.

CarboTech’s ingenious saddle tree design boasts a three-layer structure, revolutionizing rider and horse comfort. The topmost layer caters to the rider, providing unparalleled comfort and a tailored fit. The middle layer, composed of an elastic material, cushions the horse’s movements, safeguarding the rider’s spine throughout the ride. The final layer, specifically profiled for the horse’s comfort, ensures a harmonious connection between rider and mount.

CarboTech’s groundbreaking design and unwavering commitment to equestrian excellence were recognized with the prestigious Reddot Award in 2015.

Saddle Tree CK

Saddle Tree CK

Saddle Tree

Saddle tree is the most important aspect of a horseback rider's saddle. Riding comfort depends on this particular part. Traditionally, they are made of wood, which makes them sturdy, but heavy.

Problems with ordinary Saddle Trees

It is problematic because, dressage horseback riders sit deeply in the saddle all the time without standing on stirrups. This particular type of ride influences back muscles and spine a lot, and without proper training, intensive care and techniques it makes the life and training of a horseback rider quite difficult. Saddle Tree CK Hybrid addresses all these problems.

Many horseback riders have problems with their spine because of a lot of back engagement during equitation. The mid part of Saddle Tree CK Hybrid is designed to protect and support its spine.
The form of Saddle Tree CK Hybrid is based on many tests, iterations and models. During the design process, the first step was to cast the form out of the test horse’s back.

The second step was to investigate wood saddles, other examples, and deeply look into ergonomic issues, and address problems. After careful examining, this process helped me design the cushioning layer.
Later the top layer was created based on other saddles. Finally, after many models, iterations and corrections, I’ve finished the prototype, which led me into starting the next saddle tree design.
