Here’s what Albion has to say about this saddle:
The Platinum Ultima has evolved as a direct result of riders demanding that Albion solves the difficulties in maintaining a perfect saddle fit and balance for the new generation of competition horse. These horses continually change shape due to maturity, schooling and nutrition therefore greater flexibility within saddle fitting has become essential. Correct fitting promotes symmetrical muscles development and encourages resistant free training. To maintain correct fit and balance, Albion has chosen to incorporate the genesis tri-form tree, a traditional tree with completely interchangeable head fittings. This allows the saddle fitter to select and change, if necessary, the fit of the tree when measuring a horse. In conjunction with genesis, Albion’s unique switch panel system allows a simple exchange of panels that will ensure the correct balance of the saddle through all phases of a horse’s development. The Platinum Ultima retains the classic styling, comfort and security of the original SLK Ultima whilst providing fast and effective fitting solutions without compromising the horse or rider. The SLK Ultima was the choice of 2004 Badminton winner, William Fox-Pitt and is endorsed by British Dressage team rider Carl Hester. With its reputation growing rapidly the SLK Ultima continues to be the first choice of many of the world’s leading dressage riders. "A luxurious dressage saddle that provides the ultimate in performance technology for both horse and rider."
