Saddle Soar Ranch is proud to be the only saddle dealer of Ortho-Flex saddles in the Pacific Northwest.
Ortho-Flex is a revolutionary new saddling system, which successfully isolates the solid tree from the moving horse's back. The ingenious Ortho-Flex concept launched a crusade to improve the life of horses the world over!

Ortho-Flex saddles have been ridden to wins in three Endurance World Championships in a row, European, North American and Southern Germany Championships, as well as numerous wins in smaller competitions. In addition, our English and Western saddles are proving their worth at the highest levels of competition and models have been selected by top riders in all disciplines.

Round Pen Reasoning founder, John Lyons, rides and trains with an Ortho-Flex, as does three-time World Championship Endurance racer, Becky Hart, and so do nearly 10,000 other horse people worldwide who enjoy the comfort, quality and pride of owning an Ortho-Flex.
