Ezy Ride Synthetic Half Breed Saddle Brown – Size 2 (17")
Ezy Ride Synthetic Half Breed Saddle Brown – Size 2 (17")
Lightweight, Comfortable & Adjustable Synthetic Saddle for Australian Riders
Experience exceptional comfort, balance and security with the Ezy Ride Synthetic Half Breed Saddle in Brown – Size 2.
Designed to improve rider position and provide greater comfort for both horse and rider, the Ezy Ride Synthetic Saddle combines the practical features of a traditional Australian stock saddle with a more balanced, centred riding position.
Unlike conventional stock saddles that can place riders in a deep, armchair-style seat, the Ezy Ride encourages a more independent seat, improved leg control and natural riding posture.
Its innovative fender and stirrup positioning provides a riding position similar to that of a dressage saddle, making it an excellent choice for schooling, horse training, stock work, trail riding and everyday equestrian activities.
Manufactured using durable SECU synthetic suede, this saddle is lightweight, water-repellent, breathable and easy to maintain.
The broad, flat panels help distribute the rider's weight across a larger area of the horse's back, while the adjustable gullet allows a qualified saddle fitter to modify the saddle's width within the manufacturer's approved limits.
With a lightweight construction of under 7kg for the bare saddle, the Ezy Ride Synthetic Saddle is a versatile choice for riders seeking comfort, security and performance.

Designed for Improved Rider Balance
The Ezy Ride Synthetic Saddle has been developed to address some of the limitations associated with traditional Australian stock and half breed saddles.
Conventional stock saddles can encourage a seated position where the rider's legs are placed too far forward.
The Ezy Ride design aims to create a more centred riding position, allowing the rider to maintain better alignment through the seat, hips and legs.
This positioning can assist with:
- Maintaining a balanced riding posture
- Developing an independent seat
- Improving leg control
- Encouraging effective riding aids
- Supporting confidence during schooling and training
Its design makes it a practical choice for both experienced and developing riders.
Comfortable for Horse & Rider
Horse comfort is an important consideration when selecting a saddle.
The Ezy Ride features broad, flat panels designed to distribute the rider's weight across a larger surface area.
When correctly fitted, this panel design can help reduce concentrated pressure and provide a stable contact area.
The lightweight construction also makes the saddle easier to handle when saddling and unsaddling.
Important: Correct saddle fitting remains essential. The saddle's panel design and adjustable gullet do not guarantee a suitable fit for every horse.
Lightweight Synthetic Construction
Weighing under 7kg in its bare configuration, the Ezy Ride Synthetic Saddle is lighter than many traditional stock saddles.
This makes it particularly appealing for riders who regularly saddle multiple horses or spend extended periods riding.
The lightweight construction is also attractive to trail and endurance riders looking to minimise unnecessary equipment weight.
Premium SECU Synthetic Suede
The saddle is manufactured using SECU synthetic suede, a material selected for its combination of durability, comfort and easy maintenance.
SECU Synthetic Suede Benefits
Soft Feel
Provides a comfortable, suede-like riding surface.
Water-Repellent
Designed to withstand everyday exposure to moisture better than many untreated natural materials.
Breathable

Durable

Easy to Clean

Adjustable Gullet for Saddle Fitting
The Ezy Ride Synthetic Saddle is supplied with a medium-sized adjustable gullet.
The saddle features an injection-moulded polypropylene tree that can be heat-adjusted by a qualified saddle fitter or authorised distributor.
The manufacturer advises adjustment up to a maximum of approximately wide, equivalent to the Bates red gullet width.
Important Saddle Fitting Information
- Supplied with a medium gullet.
- Heat adjustment must be performed by a qualified saddle fitter or authorised distributor.
- Maximum recommended adjustment is approximately wide.
- Gullet adjustment alone does not determine overall saddle fit.

Do not attempt to heat-adjust the saddle yourself.
