The DP Saddlery 1089 Quantum Sport is widely known as the "Smart Car" of the saddle world because it packs incredible performance, comfort, and security into a compact, lightweight package.

Designed for the rider who wants to do it all—from long-distance trails to endurance riding—without the bulk of a heavy western saddle or the rigidity of a dressage saddle.

Why You Will Love This Saddle

• Hip-Friendly "Narrow Twist": Unlike many wide trail saddles that can cause hip pain after an hour, the Quantum Sport is famous for its narrow twist and deep, padded seat. This allows your legs to hang naturally and comfortably, preventing that "split apart" feeling.

• Lightweight & Easy to Lift: Weighing in at approximately 19 lbs, this saddle is significantly easier to lift onto a tall horse than a traditional western saddle. Save your shoulders and back for the ride!

• Secure, Deep Seat: The seat is luxuriously padded and offers a secure "pocket" that holds you in safely over rough terrain, giving you confidence without restriction.

• No Horn, No Problem: The sleek, hornless design is perfect for riders who want to duck under branches on the trail or jump small logs without interference.

Does it Fit My Horse?

The Quantum Sport is built on the Ultra-Flex Tree, designed to adapt to your horse’s changing shape.

• Adjustable Gullet: You can widen or narrow the saddle in seconds using a simple Allen wrench. If your horse gains muscle in the summer or drops weight in the winter, your saddle will always fit.

• Short-Backed Horses: With an overall saddle length of approx. 19.5 inches (and a skirt length of just 13 inches), this is the ultimate solution for short-backed horses (including Icelandic horses, Arabs, Morgans, and Foundation Quarter Horses) where other saddles bridge or rub the loins.

• Shoulder Freedom: The flexible tree points allow for maximum shoulder rotation, perfect for gaited horses or expressive movers.

Perfect For These Activities

• Endurance & Competitive Trail: Lightweight and breathable for the horse, comfortable for the rider for 20+ miles.

• Trail Riding: Secure enough for spooks, comfortable enough for all-day adventures.

• Gaited Horses: The short footprint and flexible tree allow the back to lift and the gait to flow freely.

• Hobby Riding: A fantastic all-rounder for arena work and hacking out.
