The evolution of Flex-Lite Technology
When Circle Y introduced the original Flex-Lite saddle in 1998, the design and p[performance revolutionized the saddle world.  The flexible bars provided a level of conformity and support  that maximized comfort and performance for both the horse and rider.  While the entire saddle industry has been trying to imitate their original design, Circle Y have taken it to another level to present the Flex2, featuring the precision Flex2 tree design.

The Flex2 Precision Tree:

The Precision Flex2 tree is finish coated in DURAhide covering.  More consistent than the traditional rawhide and fiberglass covered trees, it adds strength while keeping out moisture and the elements, adding to the life of your saddle.

The ground seat is the basis for a comfortable padded seat.  Circle Y have had years of experience hand crafting the perfect ground seat and used modern technology to build it right into the tree for the perfect seat, every time.

Dynamic Low-Density Flex2 Bars conform to the horse, even while in motion, allowing freedom of movement and enhancing the horse’s natural gait.  And the Flex2 fits a wider range of horses better than traditional saddles.

The High Density Flex2 Bars give support and stability where it’s needed, under the ground seat, keeping weight evenly distributed through the bars.

The Flex2 Saddle:

The Construction of the Flex2 saddle allows it to remain light-weight (most under 30 lbs.) a feature both horse and rider will appreciate.

The Flex2 Tunnel Skirt design replaces traditional skirts, decreasing the opportunity for rubbing and sore spots and eliminating pressure along the spine.  It also allows airflow under the saddle to reduce heat buildup, keeping your horse cool and comfortable.

Softee seat jockeys and fenders provide a “ready to ride” saddle that eliminates the break-in period, reducing rider’s knee and ankle strain.

Neo-Shock skirt design incorporates a shock absorbing neoprene filler.  It’s flexible, so it conforms to the horses back in synergy with the flexible bars.  It all adds up to the most comfortable saddle your horse will ever wear.
