Saddle Sox are designed to fit your Ortho-Flex Endurance CutBack saddle. They are made with black cordura as a top layer and a white polyester fleece bottom. They have the Velcro closure in the front which allows you to enclose the panel in the 'pocket'.
We offer them in 21", 23", and 24" panel lengths. Be sure to measure the length of your panels before you order.
Machine washable.
CUSTOM OPTIONS
These saddle sox can be custom made for other types of Ortho-Flex Saddles but do require a pattern. Custom booties can take approximately 3-6 weeks. You also have the option to get your custom booties with wool bottom instead of poly fleece.
Custom sox cannot be returned. Please call 800-759-7637 if you have any questions about having custom sox made.
How do I make a pattern for a saddle sox? Cut a solid sheet of paper (the back of gift wrapping paper
works great) the length of the panel or skirt. Set the saddle (without booties/sox on) on a stand
and have a helper lift up the saddle so you can slide the paper under
the panel or skirt (we only need one side, so trace only one side). We
also recommend that you use a blanket or pad under the paper (over the
stand) making tracing easier. Then use a fine-tip "Sharpie ®"-type
marker and trace the outline exactly. We will allow for seam allowances
and movement room. Cut out the pattern and fit it to the panel or skirt
to check fit. You MUST also locate both panel-mounting pedestals on the
pattern and mark with an X; also write the saddle’s serial number and
seat size on the pattern, along with your name, address, email and phone
number before sending it to us.
How to trace a western saddle: Trace the skirt/panel, lifting up
drop yoke rigging. Then drop the rigging and trace around that,
including the "D" ring, but stopping there. The area that will give you
the most difficulty is tracing down the center of the saddle. Do your
best, you will have to guess how the skirt panel flows (the center does
not fit into a pocket like the back and front, so DON’T let your guess
stress you out). This is your template and your saddle sox will be made
exactly the way you submit your pattern.
How to trace an English
or endurance saddle: Trace the panel, lifting up the flap. Then
drop the flap and trace around that. The area that will give you the
most difficulty is tracing down the center of the saddle. Do your best;
you will have to guess how the panel flows (the center does not fit into
a pocket like the back and front, so DON’T let your guess stress you
out). This is your template and your saddle sox will be made exactly as
you submit your pattern.
