The revolutionary CAIR Cushion System replaces the traditional fillings in your saddle panel with air. There are two independently sealed air Cushions within each saddle panel. The concept of air, as the ultimate in cushioning for your horse, is simple.

The tree is the underlying framework of the saddle. The gullet is the channel that runs from the pommel to the cantle on the underside of the saddle. Although the size of the tree influences the front of the gullet, the tree size and the gullet size are not the same.

Once you have the correct bar, you will need to remove the current bar from the saddle: Step One: Undo the bolts at the front of each panel.Step Two: Slide each panel off the point of the tree. Step Three: Fold back the flap covering the gullet bar.Step Four: Undo the bolts holding the gullet bar in place.

Undo the velcro along the length of the panel. Insert the needed shims into the panel, ensuring that the logo faces towards the tree of the saddle. Make sure that the shims are aligned with the straight edge along the edge of the chamber. Fasten the velcro, making sure it is smooth all the way along the panel.

Place your hand into the space between the saddle and your horse's wither, using your fingers to measure the vertical space. The gap should fit no more than two fingers to two and a half fingers. If three or more fingers fit, the gullet is too narrow. If fewer than two fingers fit, the gullet is too wide.

These saddles are affordable, but also very cost effective due to the adjustment systems they have in place. It is important to note though, unfortunately the CAIR panels themselves can't be adjusted and adding flocking to a CAIR saddle will risk damaging the CAIR panels.
