The Louisville™ Flat Seat Cut Back Show Saddle

The Louisville™ Cut Back Show Saddle is a remarkable blend of tradition and innovation, designed with both rider comfort and horse performance in mind. This saddle features a laminated birch wood and spring steel tree, crafted meticulously in our tree department. The design of this tree is tailored to the rider’s thigh, allowing the hips to drop into a more perpendicular angle, which positions the legs naturally and comfortably. The seat has been streamlined to offer a classic appearance while maintaining the exceptional comfort and durability that our cut back saddles have been known for over many years.

Our panels are constructed using premium English pure wool felt and natural latex rubber, shaped to match the tree’s contours and the rider’s anatomy, ensuring perfect harmony between the two. This dedication to quality and design has made the Louisville™ saddle a top choice in the Arabian show scene for over 25 years.

Innovative Features and Craftsmanship

One of the standout features of this saddle is our patented L&R® five-position adjustable stirrup bar. Made in England from the finest grade stainless steel, these bars are hand-assembled by master craftsmen. Every saddle tree is designed in-house and handcrafted by our experienced tree makers, ensuring unparalleled quality and performance.

We take pride in sourcing as many materials as possible from England, utilizing only the finest available to construct our saddles.

The Louisville™ Cut Back Show Saddle is ideal for riders who prefer a flat seat, providing both style and function.

A New Level of Flexibility and Comfort

A unique feature of our Lovatt & Ricketts® saddles is the advanced Saddle Seat cut back spring tree. We've enhanced this tree with improved longitudinal flexibility, allowing it to move with the horse’s motion. After years of testing various layers of birch wood ply, we have optimized the balance between flex and strength. This innovation, now incorporated into our cut back models, represents a significant advancement in equine comfort.
