Our Philosophy
After being unsatisfied with saddle tree makers, and realizing that horse's backs change constantly,
Keith and Kristi started designing their own system of mechanical flexibility, which incorporates Kristi's plastics knowledge
and Keith's blacksmithing. As a result, the Vision System, a truely flexible saddle with a mechanically adjustable gullet
and structured ground seat, was born!
