The Louisville™ Deep Seat/Equitation Cut Back Show Saddle

For the rider whose preference is a deep seat this is the answer.  It features all of the same innovations as Louisville™ but gives a little more security that a deeper seat affords.

A New Unique Feature only available from Lovatt & Ricketts®

Our unique Saddle Seat cut back spring tree has been further enhanced by the improving of the Longitudinal (length) flexibility of the tree enabling it to flex with the movement of the horse’s motion. We have over several years exhaustively been testing a combination of layers of Birch Wood ply to obtain the optimum flex with maximum strength. We have completed our research and incorporated it into several of our European models and is now available in our cut back models. This is a truly unique innovation and tremendous advancement in the comfort of the horse.

Highly recommend!

When approached to try one of these saddles, I was apprehensive at first. After training horses for many years there is always someone that has the perfect item they want you to buy. Figuring I had nothing to loose, I took one of the saddles to try it out. Within the first pass down the barn, I was amazed how comfortable the saddle was. At that point I started paying more attention to the saddle as a whole. The craftsmanship is impeccable. I allowed some of my clients to try it out, and they were very impressed with how comfortable the saddle was. I was so impressed with this saddle, I bought two of them. As many horses that I work on on a daily basis, being comfortable in the saddle is a must.  I have told several trainers about this saddle and they have also purchased saddles. Highly recommend!

flat louisville winning first showingI LOVE my new show saddles from Lovatt and Ricketts!!!

My previous show horse was a Half Arab with medium width.  I now own and show a Purebred Arabian, requiring a wide tree.  Thus, I was forced to buy 2 new saddles!  I’m glad that was the outcome because both saddles fit perfectly!  One saddle is for is Country Pleasure, therefore I purchased the FLAT Louisville brown buffalo cut back saddle.  I can truly feel my horse, and again, comfortably. And, we won our 1st show on our 1st showing using the new Louisville Flat!!  (Arabian Country Pleasure AAOTR).

The other discipline is for show-hack, so I purchased the Showring.  That coupled with the show bridle, also from Lovatt and Ricketts, my horse is comfortable and looks stunning!!

We have had a successful show season so far and look forward to many future rides with my new saddles!

Best Custom Fit!

After over a year of having back-to-back saddle issues, we finally turned to Arabian Saddle Company for a custom fit to my impossibly wide gelding. Not only did they work with me to find what would be the best option for us, but when the saddle arrived it could not have been more perfect. I noticed an immediate positive change in my horse’s performance, and I cannot put into words the comfort that I experience myself when riding. We will never turn to anybody other than ASC for our saddle needs!
