In her blog, Aline reports on how she and her horse Blue got their new SIGNUM saddle and what experiences she has had with it. What put her off at the beginning but won her over in the end - Alina and Blue have been using the SIGNUM Mercedes for many years and we are delighted with this lovely report.

Matthias & Sina have been our customers for over 7 years. It all started with a customised Omega Mercedes saddle. But it didn't stop there. In addition to the customised Mercedes saddle, a number of other saddle models have since moved in. These include second-hand saddles, which we looked for following a fitting appointment and then converted to fit the horses.

The two of them report on their experiences in more detail in this experience report.

Here Jenny reports on her experiences with our SIGNUM saddles. She tells us how she got her first OMEGA Mercedes. In her report, she shows her new saddle and explains why she switched from a western saddle to our OMEGA Mercedes.

Jenny and Bill have continued to develop together, so that over time she has switched to two other special models. She takes you with her on this journey and tells you about her experiences.

Animal osteopath Steffi Becher Braun has a wonderful guiding principle: the satisfaction of all living beings in our environment, whether human or animal! Her approach to her work is holistic, which is why assessing a saddle and its fit and effects on the horse is part of her daily routine.

We are all the more pleased that she has taken the trouble to write this comprehensive report. As a long-standing customer and expert in the field of animal physiotherapy, osteopathy and acupuncture, we greatly value her opinion. We are very pleased about this long-standing co-operation and the constant exchange.

Here we would like to present the mini-study on the subject of "Saddle vs. PADDLE®" by Claudia Dewes - specialist in expressive & learning behaviour & Anja Müller-Martin - master of equine management.

The two of them became aware of the PADDLE® through social media. At first glance, it seemed like a good alternative to the saddle, but that wasn't enough for them - they wanted reliable proof. So they analysed our paddle using 4 horse-rider pairs in a mini study.

We would like to present the results to you in detail here. This much can be revealed in advance: the test results speak for themselves!

Sarah Rob - an expert in seat training and body coaching - has subjected our PADDLE to a long-term test.

We are particularly pleased to be able to publish her experience report here from daily use on her own horses, as well as riding and school horses, for dressage riding, reaching out in lessons or in seat training.

Thank you very much for the insights into your work that you give us in your report with so many great pictures & in the video!

Alina Herrmann originally comes from competition sport and has been a trainer A classical-baroque since 2018. As a rider with many years of experience and constantly striving for the best equipment for horse and rider, she became aware of our PADDLE®.

She reports on her experiences with the PADDLE® on her horses and for you as a rider here.

In this video, we captured a few voices & experiences about our PADDLE® at Equitana 2023.

Stefan Baumgartner, inventor & developer of the PADDLE®, talks about its development. You can see the PADDLE® in use at the fast-paced Working Equitation Cup with Germany's best Working Equitation riders Mitja Hinzpeter & Katja Lauer. Christina Breuer from Hello Horses , a "Pad & PADDLE®" rider from the very beginning, reports on her experiences with free riding. Julia Zenner demonstrates with her two cold-blooded horses how they can also be used with horses of larger calibre :)

Not a riding pad, not a saddle - but a mix of both - a Paddle®! When we first read about the Paddle®, we were totally curious about the new product from Signum. We were lucky enough to try out the Paddle® at Equitana in March 2023 and were immediately impressed.

You can find out more about her experiences with the Worker-PADDLE® in her detailed field report.

In addition to testing the various riding pads, Jenny & Bill also put our newest member - the PADDLE® - through its paces. The  PADDLE® is not a riding pad in the true sense of the word, but it's not a saddle either - it's a PADDLE®. Jenny explains exactly what's behind it in a video. Have fun with it!

After Corinna has been using our riding pads herself and in her riding school for more than 2 years, we were curious to see what she had to say about our PADDLE®.

She tested it for you with a whole range of riders with a wide variety of horses at different training levels. She has summarised these opinions in this video. Have fun with it!

Lea Goldberg tested the PADDLE® for us. She took us with her Quarter mare Kitty to the Hacienda Buena Suerte in Spain.

Here she shows us how she adapts the paddle to her Quarter mare and tests the PADDLE® on one of the most beautiful riding arenas in Spain - the Working Equitation trail arena at the Hacienda Buena Suerte.

Jenny and Bill have created a whole series of tests about riding pads on their YouTube channel. Of course, they also took a close look at our felt pad, our Freedom riding pad and our Dressage riding pad. She has put together an overview of all three types of riding pad in a video and also created a detailed test video for each model. Perfect for anyone who wants to get a quick overview or detailed knowledge of their favourite. Have fun with it!

My name is Esther Peinhardt, I am a physiotherapist for animals and I specialise in training therapy for horses.

For my daily work with horses, most of which are suffering from myofascial dysfunction or are rehab patients, I was looking for a stable yet flexible cavesson that would be an alternative to the bridles currently on the market.

Esther tested our Kenzie cavesson and reports on her impressions here.
