We have analyzed gaited saddle problems-and worked out all the appropriate solutions. The result of this work is our Imus 4-Beat™ Gaited Horse Saddle. These saddles have been painstakingly designed specifically for the gaited horse and rider. No other saddle in this price range is more effective for a large variety of gaited riding horses. Unsurpassed in comfort for both horse and rider, this saddle encourages the horse's natural 4-beat gait. When you begin to custom build your own saddle, you'll be presented with a list of options. These allow you to order a saddle that is exactly what you want.

Thank you for your understanding!

The Complete 4-Beat™ Saddle Story PDF Print E-mail
After working with gaited horses of every description for a few years, it became increasingly obvious that one of the primary detriments to a fluid, comfortable 4-beat saddle gait was poor saddle fit–or perhaps more accurately, poor saddle dynamics. As I analyzed saddle fit and gait action, the factor that proved troublesome, over and over again, was lack of adequate give in the saddle tree to accommodate the action of the horse’s back as it attempted to move each leg independently of the others, at speed.
