Startrekk Western Classic & Pressure Distribution:
The Startrekk Western Classic has the appearance and seat similar to a real Western saddle, with a narrow and stable seat. It offers the advantages of a treeless saddle, with flexibility that adapts to the horse's back and does not interfere with the horse's movement. The removable/interchangeable forks allow the saddle to be adjusted to different widths, and together with the pads, they provide withers and spine freedom. The saddle is flexible but also stable enough to evenly distribute the rider's weight, achieved by a thin plastic plate in the saddle. Klittenband cushions in various variants and thicknesses allow for perfect fine-tuning to the individual horse's back. The saddle comes with off billet, ty strap, fenders, and stirrups. Excludes Western girth. Additionally, you can fully customize the saddle according to your preferences: color, type of leather, leatherwork, type of stirrups, type of conchos.

+ Narrow seat

+ Adjustable in width with separate forks

Disadvantages:
- Less flexible than treeless saddles from brands like Barefoot and EDIX

The Startrekk Western is ideal for:

- Suitable from approx. wide C ponies, and also for D, E ponies, and horses
Less suitable for:
- Very wide horses, as there are no very wide forks available

Dimensions:
The Startrekk Western Classic saddle is available in 3 lengths and 6 widths:
| Size: | Back length: | Pad length: | Width size: |
| (S)1 | 58 cm | 52 cm | N1S, N2S, N3S, N1F, N2F, N3F |

Width size Startrekk Western Classic:
To determine the correct width, Startrekk has developed a template. The saddle will be delivered in the desired width size. If your horse's width changes or you want to use the saddle on a different horse, another size fork can be ordered separately and inserted into the saddle. Optionally, you can also order a different size fork directly.
Pad length Startrekk Western:
A standard saddle size S1 comes with Klittenband cushions in length S1. However, you can also choose length S2 for a larger bearing surface if your horse has enough space for it. Alternatively, you can choose an S2 saddle, which is delivered standard with S2 pad length. If these are too long for your horse, you can choose S1 pad length.
Saddle fitting service:
Although you can use the template to determine the correct width, we strongly recommend inviting the saddle fitter to fit the saddle to your horse. This prevents disappointments later on. Since a Startrekk treeless saddle is not as flexible as a Barefoot or EDIX treeless saddle, the fit is slightly more precise. Additionally, we offer you the service of trying out your newly ordered saddle for 14 days after delivery. If you buy a Startrekk saddle without fitting or testing, you do not have this option.
Leather and color choices with Startrekk Western Classic:
Startrekk saddles are made in various types and colors of leather. Different colors of fittings and different finishes. With the Startrekk Western Classic, you can choose the base leather, the seat leather, the leatherwork, the conchos, the fender length, the stirrups, and the Klittenband cushions according to your preferences.
