This is what Heritage say:
Description: The YIN-YANG – INNER BALANCE, VSD (LS) for Large Shouldered Horses. (Patent Pending) The totally unique LS range is only available from Heritage Bespoke Saddles : The VSD, GP and Dressage along with the LS jump/event versions, has been designed specifically for horses with large shoulders, where the rider needs a forward cut flap. A brilliant design…
“Attain Your Inner Balance” Yin-Yang : “Inner Balance” VSD LS (for Large Shouldered horses) Please read a testimonial for the (LS Jump) at bottom of this page
The VSD LS … As you can see in the photographs we cut the panel beneath the flap away from, and to accommodate, the larger shouldered horse. Then it has the knee roll on top of the flap away from the horses shoulder. This combination is perfect for the rider who wants a more forward flap but whose horse has large shoulders. This saddles panels and knee roll will, therefore, not hinder the horses movements, and will not be constantly pushed back by them either. This then enables us to cut the top flap more forward for those of you with longer legs, and those who like to ride short, giving you more room, as the top flap “floats” above the horses shoulder. Compared to traditional saddles, this massively lessens shoulder restriction and the horse will move better than it ever has!
