We have analyzed gaited saddle problems-and worked out all the appropriate solutions. The result of this work is our Imus 4-Beat® saddle. These saddles have been painstakingly designed the action, or motion, of gaited horses (though it works for many non-gaited breeds, as well).Unsurpassed in comfort for both horse and rider, this saddle may look like other saddles on the outside - but that's where similarities end.The Imus 4-Beat®  saddle encourages the horse's natural 4-beat gait. When you begin to custom build your own saddle, you'll be presented with a list of options. These allow you to order a saddle that is exactly what you want.All saddles come standard with matching Supracor padded 4-Beat® Stirrups, Leather Tie Strings, and extra-long latigos to accomodate the 3-Point Rigging.All "BUILD YOUR OWN" saddles are custom made per your order and take 4-6 weeks for delivery (we consistently hit 4 weeks but once in a while go a little over during the busiest season). If there is an option you do not see available below and would like on your saddle, call or email and please ask us, because we can probably make it happen with our extraordinary saddle craftsmen.We have addittional options for the cantle: Pencil Roll ($100) or Cheyenne Roll ($75)We can also pre-turn the stirrups for an additional $30We can make the seat Rough-Out for grip for $25We can meet just about any special request.
