Like all VSD saddles, the VSD Summit is designed primarily for
flat work, including dressage, trail, endurance, and general
pleasure riding. It is extremely comfortable for distance riding or
long hours in the saddle.
The VSD Summit (formerly the VSD Mark II) has a unique leg
channel comprised of a softly cushioned knee pad with a matching
calf pad sewn into the rear of the flap. These soft pads cover
Velcro-on knee and calf blocks, which attach under the flap. The
look is distinctive; the saddle is incredibly comfortable and
secure.
The ReactorPanel Saddle is a revolutionary design! The saddle
sits on two panels- one on each side of the spine - which are
designed to move with the horse. The panels attach to the saddle
tree with four shock absorbing discs that have Velcro on each side
AND the saddle rests on the panels in the center (roughly under the
twist) - it is not "suspended" in the air. The discs can be
repositioned easily, making it possible to get a custom fit for
your horse. The front to back balance is achieved by using
different sized discs, and it's often possible to adjust the saddle
to compensate for lack of symmetry or muscle atrophy in your
horse.
The ReactorPanel was created from the ground up to provide the
greatest possible comfort for the horse. In a ReactorPanel saddle,
performance is enhanced because the horse is able to more fully use
its range of motion medially and laterally. Because the
ReactorPanel saddle allows for greater freedom of shoulder movement
(allowing for expansion as well as rotation), the stride typically
lengthens and all gaits tend to improve. The distribution of the
rider's weight via the large surface area of the ReactorPanels is
enormously beneficial in all disciplines.
