SaddleMattress Approved Saddle Fitting and Massage Therapists
Many equestrians see no harm in storing a saddle on a wooden or steel bar saddle rack like this one. However, equine saddle professionals know that costly damage can be done to a saddle's panels when stored this way.
The pressure exerted by the steel bars causes deep ridges and indentations to form in the panels and flocking, ultimately compromising balance, fit, and performance. You might not notice it, but your horse's back and your back definitely will! Depending upon the type of saddle and flocking you have, the damage to your saddle could be irreversible.

The Science
We consulted with a saddle fitting professional to run a comparison test using advanced pressure sensor technology, and the results were similarly impressive.
No Saddlemattress
Without SaddleMattress protection, the rack exerts pressure along the length of the bars and panels of the saddle, creating many areas of high pressure and damaging hot spots (indicated in green, yellow, and red).
With SaddleMattress
When a SaddleMattress is securely placed on the rack, the saddle's weight is redistributed over a much larger surface area, minimizing pressure and eliminating hot spots.
