Big Horn Western Saddles


Big Horn Performance Saddles
Sil-Cush Performance Trail Saddles by BigHorn 

One of the neatest things about this saddle is the ways you can rig it. Not only does the bottom foam mold to your horse's back, but you can position the girth any way you need, to make a perfect fit. Tie it like a conventional drop rigging, or centerfire it using both rings.

The close contact butterfly skirts and drop rigging allow you the closest contact, next to bareback. 5 inch cantle gives great back support, for all day in the saddle rides. 

Did you ever wonder how well your horse could perform if there were no inhibiting pressures on its body? Now is the time to find out. The bottom skirts of this saddle will absorb concussion, stay in place, and generally give you competitive advantage over your competition. 

Sil-Cush is a product line manufactured in the USA, exclusively for Big Horn. The ultra durable silicone foam is also anti-microbial, actively killing bacterial growth. Sil-Cush has been tested at both Georgia Tech and a major US Defense Aerospace company. Traditional foams cannot withstand the durability issues of being on the saddle bars. Traditional foams bottom out. 

Sil-Cush breatable silicone allows air to easily flow through, helping with moisture and heat issues. Sil-Cush molds to the horse's back shape as the back and  shoulder muscles work, distributing pressure for a "no pressure point fit". This eliminates sore backs for the horse and increases rider comfort.

Towards the bottom of this page is a picture of the bottom side of this remarkable technology. Then, there is a pressure mapping chart, developed by Georgia Tech, from their study on comparisons of typical and Sil-Cush technologies. This pressure map tells the story of comfort, and relief, your equine will enjoy. Remember too, that this same soft dissipation of concussion is also right under your seat bones too.

The perforated leather seat will give you all the advantages of a top grain seat, with a little more breathabilty, (airflow), from the perforated leather. 

This is a saddle you can ride with pride in any arena.

Georgia Tech Pressure Mapping chart:
 
This chart shows that conventional saddles do not always distribute the riders weight evenly over the horses' back. Red indicates extreme heat and pressure. The Sil-Cush's patented silicone foam technology gives maximum protection as it cushions. By allowing air to flow through this cutting edge foam, moisture and heat are allowed to dissipate. It molds to the horses' shape.
