IMUS 4-BEAT ELITE LIGHTWEIGHT GAITED ENDURANCE SADDLE
Description
***Saddle was purchased from factory Spring 2019 for over $3200 (after US$exchange and shipping fees). Will consider delivering or shipping saddle for a fee depending on distance and costs.
Used up until summer of 2023 when it no longer fit my aging gelding. Sadly must sell as I need a new saddle for my boy. This is on their extra wide tree so will fit the broader and more round back horses with a lot of action/movement for big moving shoulders (I have used it on Arabians as well and found it really frees up their shoulders)! Roomy full 16" seat when seat cover not in place.
Asking $2,100 including the custom Alpaca seat cover (keeps you warm in Winter and cool in Summer) as seen in photos (valued over $300) or $1900 without seat cover. Open to any REASONABLE offers for this extremely comfortable, well built saddle.***

The Imus 4-Beat® Elite Gaited horse saddle weighs about 24 pounds fully rigged. With all its unique features we feel it is the best gaited saddle on the market.
The skirting and rigging on the Imus 4-Beat® Elite is made of wax-wear which is a very soft yet durable wax and oil-infused synthetic material that lends it durability and also water and dirt resistance. The durability is great and you can expect the same wear out of the wax-wear as you do the leather. We use the same material for the top of our pads.
The tree, leather suspended ground seat, and Supracor padding under the bars of the tree are the same in both the full leather and Imus 4-Beat® Elite, so functionally they perform and feel just the same for you and your horse.
The Imus 4-Beat® Elite Gaited saddle boasts all the premium features of the traditional Imus 4-Beat® Gaited Saddle, including top quality materials and workmanship.
We have the best trail saddles, built for comfort for both horse and rider. We have analyzed gaited saddle problems-and worked out all the appropriate solutions. The result of this work is our Imus 4-Beat® Gaited saddle. These saddles have been painstakingly designed the action, or motion, of gaited horses (though it works great for all horse types!). With all its unique features we feel it is the best gaited saddle on the market.
Unsurpassed in comfort for both horse and rider, this saddle may look like other saddles on the outside - but that's where similarities end.
The Imus 4-Beat® Gaited saddle encourages the horse's natural 4-beat gait. When you begin to custom build your own saddle, you'll be presented with a list of options. These allow you to order the best trail saddle that is exactly what you want.
All saddles come standard with matching Supracor padded 4-Beat® Stirrups, Leather Tie Strings, and extra-long latigos to accommodate the 3-Point Rigging.
Specially Designed Tree designed for unique forward placement, placing rider over horse’s true center of gravity. Designed for complete freedom of movement and to accommodate the gaited horse’s back
Flexible Tree with leather suspended ground seat to prevent bars from collapsing under rider’s weight. Provides incredibly close feeling to the horse.
Carefully calculated degree of flexibility in the bars offers gaited horses unprecedented comfort and freedom of motion, while still correctly distributing the rider’s weight.
Our Imus 4-Beat Elite lightweight gaited saddle features:
Web suspended, flexible tree bars to offer the horse freedom of motion, and the rider a close “feel” for the horse’s movement
Supracor® padding beneath the tree bars to offer unprecedented “fit forgiveness.” Thanks to this medical grade, resilient and durable padding, our two tree widths (standard and wide) work for over 95% of the horses we fit.
Free-swinging, forward-set stirrups to take pressure off rider’s hips, knees and ankles
A custom built tree designed to set the rider in a more forward and natural bareback seat position, while allowing the horse freedom of motion through the shoulders and zero pressure on the loins
Top quality leather for the seat and skirt
3/4-fired rigging to keep the saddle in place, front to back, with a single girth, while helping to avoid "girth galls."
Includes:
6 Sets Tie Strings
Matching 4-Beat® Supracor Padded Stirrups
