A conversion puts Delrin panels onto your current rigid tree saddle. An up-grade puts our Advanced Easy Slide System panels on your current flexible panel saddle.
What saddles can Eldorado Saddle and Tack convert?
Ortho Flex, Timberline, Rocking R, Stubben, McCall, Don West, TexTan, Circle Y, Big Horn, Sugar Creek Saddlery, as well as most Peruvian saddles, and several UK models. We cannot put the flex panels on a flexible tree, Aussie tree, Tex-flex, and any other brands that have a gullet opening of less than 6.75" or those that have a ralide saddle tree. When converting any saddle that does not already have panels, we cut new leather skirts because the formed skirts are not reusable. If it's a saddle with a panel system already on and you just want to upgrade, we can re-use the leather skirts and add the new fleece, neoprene, panels and inserts.
What are the Amera-flex (Eldorado) panels made of and how are they constructed?
The panels used on these saddles and on replacement parts for all flexible-panel saddles, are of Delrin® -from DuPont, milled and assembled in the UNITED STATES! The Delrin panel design is the same computer-designed, multi-layered advanced panel that is so wonderful in providing all of the elements necessary for proper function and fitting on all of the unique and different back shapes of horses and mules. What makes our SYSTEM so unique is the Patent-Pending Easy-Slide mounting of these panels to the saddletree. In 2005, after 26 years of combined experience in repairing, fixing and re-building all brands of Delrin panel saddles, we uncovered the faults in design and in the way the panels were mounted. Some of the problems encountered were panels bottoming out, inflexible panels, thick saddle trees, washers stuck in slots, panels that wouldn’t move or slide, pressure points, worn Delrin, busted rivets, cracked panels, wood screw mountings, mounts that self adjust and improper rigging. We made the necessary corrections in building the Delrin panel saddle. What makes this SYSTEM unique is the "Patent Pending" Easy-Slide mounting of these panels to the saddletree, making these panels virtually maintenance free.
If you have a rigid tree saddle that you love and fits your horse fairly well, you can convert your current saddle or upgrade your panels which will include the dropped center cross adjustable rigging.
We repair almost all makes and all brands of saddles: rigid tree, custom made, flex-tree and flexible panels system saddles. We offer the customer satisfaction guarantee that is the best in the business with fast turn around service guaranteed!
