Amera-Flex Saddle & Tack is able
to upgrade most saddles to the Easy Slide panel system.
Call us to see if your saddle is capable of being
upgraded.
The Easy Slide Amera-Flex Saddle has a multi-layered,
multi-fingered delrin* panel design. The panel has
cuts and feathering in the top area along the spinal
processes of the withers – allowing for a softer
fit. The front of the panels are rounded and feathered,
designed for a scapula overlap of up to 3 inches-
if needed for short backed horses, making it comfortable
for all different types of back shapes. Each of the
3 layers of delrin is smaller than the previous, this
is called Progressive Loading, this allows for complete
and dynamic rider weight distribution over the entire
surface area of the panel while the horse is in motion.
The rear of the panel will also have an additional
layer of stainless steel for the washer mount to slide
upon. The thickness of the panel layers has also been
addressed. Depending upon size of the saddle 16, 17
or 18 inch seat, the center layer of the panel is
constructed in a way that it will support the heavy
rider and not bottom out and sore your horse. Or in
the case of the lightweight rider will not act like
a springboard if the panels are too stiff. Whether
your horse is wide, narrow or "A" framed,
high or mutton withers, short-long-sway-roach or mule
back in shapes and top-lines, round or slab sided,
most can be fitted with these incredible panels. We
will NOT Claim to fit All horses, Period! We know
there is not a saddle on the market with or with a
panel system that will fit every horse. We do Claim
to be able to fit 99% , that’s the best we can
do. But then again with the use of shims, even those
hard to fit horses will benefit from theses amazing
panels.
How this Easy Slide was developed:
In 2005, after 25 years of combined experience in
repairing and building saddles, El Dorado found that
the washer-mounts wore grooves in the delrin material
and the panels would not flex properly. Most of the
time the cause was from the pop rivets breaking off,
dirt and horsehair caked on the panels, or no lubrication.
By changing the pop rivets to copper, the amount of
time that the panels will last has doubled. Adding
the stainless steel slide in the rear has eliminated
the wearing of the delrin, effectively making the
Amera-Flex Easy Slide Panels out last any other. Building
Saddles to last a lifetime! All saddles will come
standard with this amazing panel system, and adjustable
rigging.
