Spanish Vaquera Saddle

Silla vaquera completa moteada piel de cordero
2000 years ago riding horses was bareback, until the warriors of the steppes of Asia invented the saddle, precursor of any type of horsesaddle we have today.
With this revolutionary invention, the horse falls decreased and the warriors fighted in a more effective way. Since then, every rider should have his saddle.
Since that moment the saddle has evolved and there are numerous types of saddles, depending on various factors, such as region, horse race, and activity that we will do with the horse.
In Spain, for field work with cattle and especially for bullfighting and Rejoneo, there is a type of Spanish cowboy saddle, the Spanish Vaquera saddle, a saddle characterized by large width, squared, and covered with a sheepskin, usually white.
On the front, it has left a piece of wool blanket footrest, which was once used as a shelter to the horse, but today is merely decorative. The stirrups are very large, usually painted black on iron, and go forward position, supporting the rider on the entire surface of the stirrup.
Spanish Vaquera saddle is a very comfortable saddle, because of the lambskin on the surface, with a nice touch, and great for country walks.

Equi-Soft Girth form Marjoman, finalist in Spoga Horse

We no longer distribute equi-soft girths but the manufacturer Marjoman is developing a girth even better than the equi-soft. That girth is called XpandGirth and has similar features. We'll explain in the next post. Meanwhile you can purchase the XpandGirth on Saddles4sale.com
The Spanish brand Marjoman and his girth “Equi-Soft” are finalists in the Innovative Spoga Horse awards. The World Horse fair ir one of the most important horse fairs in Europe and it takes place in Cologne, Germany. Marjoman is one of the 15 finalists, one of which will be the winner.
For those who doesn’t know the Equi-Soft girths from Marjoman, let’s take a look from the beginning. Girths are the indispensable element in the horse equipment in order to hold the saddle and thus the rider.
Until now, horse girths are more or less solids, and as much you press the girth, more the horse is downtrodden. The girth passes through the animal’s abdomen so there is the high pressure. If the girth is too much pressed, the thoracic capacity is constrained.
With a current girth, when the horse breathes the pressure over his chest grows. It’s uncomfortable for the horse and the performance drecreases.
Some time ago Marjoman though about that and planned a new kind of girth; they created the Equi-Soft Girths.  These girths have elastic elements, but they are secure for the rider, whose saddle doesn’t move and is placed securely.
The Equi-Soft girth has been proved in 6 horse breeds, and in the different ecuestrian modalities: dressage, jumping, endurance, etc
The horse with a Equi-Soft girth respond better to the rider instructions, is more predictable, and suffers less tan a horse with a normal girth. It’s worth to buy one of this girths, above all if we are proffeisonals in ecuestrian.
Don’t wait and buy one in our shop: Equi-Soft Girths Marjoman
