Our groundbreaking saddle adapted for therapeutic riding!
LittleJoe saddles are superb for therapeutic riding and hippotherapy. In a LittleJoe, it’s easy to feel the muscular movements of the horse, making it easier for the rider to follow those movements and engage the proper muscles. Close contact with the horse also improves balance and coordination, and makes the work much easier for aides walking alongside. Finally, the body warmth of the horse comes up through the saddle to the rider, aiding in relaxation and comfort.
For security, LittleJoe therapy saddles have two firm crosswise handles at the front, enabling the rider to get a good grip while not interfering with the sense of balance.
BONUS! Our hippotherapy saddle comes with a FREE saddle blanket. Free blankets are selected from in-stock only and are limited to solid colors of black, green, blue, and brown. To choose a pattern or a color other than one of those four, there will be an extra $10.00 charge (specify choice in comment box at checkout).
NOTE:when ordering a saddle, please specify regular or long billets. There is no charge for longer billets AT THE TIME YOU ORDER, but if you return a saddle to have the billets changed, there will be a $40.00 charge because of the labor involved.
