The Innovate It offers the best of both worlds: a highly flexible seat, allowing the rider to influence the horse with only light aids, similar to a treeless saddle; and on the other hand, just as much support as in a classic saddle. Additionally, an interchangeable gullet plate and the option of choosing wool panels allow for a precise fit to the horse.

The Innovate saddle features an L-shaped tree, which has no metal or wood joints. This makes the L-tree extremely flexible, allowing it to follow the horse's back movements while riding. This gives the rider excellent feel for the horse's movements, which can be a significant advantage, especially when presenting a horse. However, the tree's flexibility also means that the rider's weight is not distributed as evenly across the horse's back as it would be with a traditional saddle.
