Ghost Fakir Ippodromo Saddle

Ghost Fakir: Technical Saddle for Track Work and Backbreaking

The Ghost Fakir is a saddle designed for practical track work and backbreaking, crafted for riders seeking a functional, lightweight, and unobtrusive tool with a clear focus on equine welfare.
It is the flagship model of the Ghost Ippodromo line, built for practical, professional use.

The Fakir is ideal when backing young horses, riding horses with a history of back or shoulder issues, or aiming to minimize structural interference with movement.
It is not a general-purpose saddle, but a targeted instrument for specific training contexts.

The Ghost Fakir utilizes the signature Ghost base combined with a streamlined configuration.
Its flexible structure enables a more even weight distribution, superior adaptability to changes in the horse's back shape, and a reduction in pressure points compared to a traditional rigid saddle.

One of its key features is the forward-positioned seat, which promotes a functional position for track work, a balanced stance at the canter and gallop, and an alleviation of load on the horse's hindquarters/loin area.
This setup is particularly beneficial for young horses or those undergoing rehabilitation.

The front features an ultra-low pommel (approx. 3–4 cm) to minimize bulk at the front and avoid interference in a delicate zone, especially during dynamic work and initial backing.
This design is specifically tailored for horses with back and shoulder sensitivity or those that tend to hollow or tense up when feeling excess pressure upfront.
