Proven by PLIANCE®
Balanced Pressure Distribution
Superior Weight Bearing
Reduced Peak Pressures
Kent & Masters saddles underwent an intensive dynamic test programme using the combined technology of the Pliance and Centaur Biomechanics systems.
The Pliance sensor mat, with more than 200 sensors, is placed under the saddle and sends readings to a computer using Bluetooth. These are analysed and displayed as 3 moving graphs and a colour image with hot red or pink areas indicating harmful pressure points. Pliance gathers data through all paces including jumping*. Across all activities, Kent & Masters produced excellent results with no high pressure points.
*The Kent & Masters Jump saddle was the first saddle ever to be tested over a 1.40m fence.

Kent & Masters GP Saddle – Averaged Peak Pressure at Trot
Colours are even left and right and continuous throughout the length of the panel indicating a balanced pressure distribution
Large proportion of the mat is coloured showing the extent of panel contact with the horses back and a superior weight bearing area
The hotter the colour the higher the peak pressures - light blue (1.02psi) is the highest colour recorded which demonstrates a very low peak pressure

Pressure distribution is both asymmetric left and right and also unbalanced front and back
A small proportion of the mat is coloured, proving that the panels have a small contact area
The pink and red readings indicate high pressure points which will cause soreness over an extended period
