Puro
The Cavallin Puro has a minimalistic seat/flap design, giving the rider freedom for seat and leg position.
This model is an excellent choice for Endurance riders who must have a free and open seat, or people who value versatility and freedom of movement that knee blocks and thigh blocks might restrict.
It's extremely lightweight, weighing in under 10 pounds!
The Puro attracts horse owners who want a very light saddle with an open seat similar to a bareback pad- but want to ride longer, faster, or harder than a traditional bareback pad allows.
The girthing system for the Puro has been widened with a triangular attachment; two straps attached wide to the saddle's base, narrowing to an angled strap protector, which can be positioned up and down your horse's barrel to customize to the needs of the horse even for horse's with difficult conformation or motion.
It has a low, virtually unnoticeable profile under the rider's legs, which additionally improves stability in the open seat saddles.
Test rides conducted in Poland proved that this created a closer contact with the horse, a very stable saddle with lots of scope for the rider.
Fitting the Puro showed it remained versatile to Draft horses, Arabians, and Warmbloods, and the new girthing system aided rider safety and security in the saddle, even without thigh blocks.
Rider Feedback: "This was our fastest ride ever! Main test horses felt so secure with his rider that he was faster and more athletic than he had ever been before. I felt secure and safe the whole time, even without thigh blocks, which I normally love!"
