About the Gentc System- Detailed Analysis
Strength and Durability Evaluation of Intec’s Genesis Saddletree
Report #: R2010-074
Work Conducted for: Intec Corporation
21 Industrial Drive
Cliffwood Beach, NJ, 07735
Phone: 1-888-468-3250
Work Conducted by: Tim Bayne, Biokinetics and Associates Ltd.
Objective: Intec Corporation manufactures an adjustable saddletree (actual
product tested was the Genesis Adjustable Tree) and Biokinetics was contracted
to subject the saddletree to a controlled spreading force to evaluate the durability
and strength of the adjustable mechanism.
Test Method: An electro-mechanical press with two horizontal platens was used
to apply a controlled load to the saddletree.
The saddletree’s full range of motion was recorded to be 104fully open and 66
fully closed. The middle point was calculated to be 85; this is the saddletree
angle that was used for testing.
The saddletree was supported on the underside with a steel cylinder having an
outside diameter of 160 mm (6.29 inch) and a length of 90 mm (3.54 inch) and
was loaded on the top by the moving horizontal platen, a picture of this setup is
seen below.
The saddletree was placed axially along the cylinder such that it was fully
supported by the cylinder.
The electro-mechanical press was programmed to load the saddletree at a
loading rate of 1 mm/minute (.0394 inch/minute) to a maximum load of 7500 N
(1686 lbf).
The test sample was to be loaded to failure or until maximum load was attained.
Results: The saddletree was tested to the full load of 7500 N (1686 lbf) and
appeared to have not suffered any permanent deformation. The adjustable
mechanism continued to function as it did before the test was conducted. A
deflection of 5.5 mm (0.217 inch) was recorded when the peak load was achieved.
A force vs. displacement graph is shown below for the tested saddletree.

About the Santa Cruz Saddle Panels
The Santa Cruz saddle has the new Soft Touch Panel system (STP) inside every one of our saddles. The new Soft Touch Panels are made with pure soft latex rubber and wool flocking. The bottom layer of latex allows the panels to mould to the horses back. This creates a more comfortable, better fitting saddle for your horse.
About the Leather
As we all know, leather is a natural material. And sometimes even the finest hides have small imperfections such as veins, scars and insect bites. At Santa Cruz, the hides are carefully selected and only the most ideal cut of leather is chosen for the saddles. Each hide is inspected and assessed for any imperfections to ensure your saddle has a flawless finish. You will notice that the Santa Cruz saddles are much softer than your everyday brand new saddle. This is because many of the models have a ‘wet’ finish where the leather is pre-oiled. The softness of the leather also reflects the quality of the saddle you are buying. And there is no question that when you are buying Santa Cruz, you are only buying quality.
