Useful information

To ensure that the ride is a pleasure for both rider and horse, it is essential that the saddle fits the horse, and is positioned correctly on its back. The saddle should allow the horse free movement and the development of a round and well-balanced topline. The saddle needs to be in the right position on the horse’s back in order to judge its fit, and to allow the horse correct movement.

Our different saddle models have different seat depths. The depth of the seat influences how the rider is supported in the saddle. A deep seat usually supports the rider in a more upright and aligned position, and offers more support, especially in trot and canter.

Our saddles are available in sizes 16,5” (Pro, Elite and Heritage), 17” and 17.5”.These sizes refer to the size of the saddle tree, which is measured from the middle of the cantle to one of the saddle nails on the pommel.

A good saddle offers the right balance of strength and flexibility. It allows supple and round movements of the horse’s back, because the saddle moves within itself from front to back and side to side. A good saddle allows natural movement in both horse and rider without losing its stability.

We recommend oiling your new saddle before first use with a high quality leather oil.To avoid rubbing the finish off or scratching the grain of the leather of a new saddle, do not ride in the saddle until it has been properly oiled. The purpose of oiling the saddle before use is for comfort and prevention of wear and tear, rather than to achieve a deeper coloration.
