Concord Dressage Saddle

Built on a classically designed  spring tree that incorporates a wide open pommel area with swept back points. that can accommodate the broader shoulders of the Baroque horse.  Through innovative design we have been able to incorporate a narrow waist to enable the riders leg to fall away from the pelvis for  a more comfortable position especially for the less flexible or narrow hipped rider. Fitted with a classic dressage stirrup bar to enable the rider to obtain the exact leg position for a perfect seat.

The Baroque models also feature our innovative billeting system enabling the rider to move the front billets to 2 positions,  this coupled with our rear billet on a balancing ring gives a perfect girthing alignment.

The Concord is available in smooth soft bull hide with a Nubuck seat and knee pads or our X-Grip water buffalo with a water buffalo Nubuck seat and knee pads. These superb hand crafted leathers are produced for us by world famous English tanners and dressers,  Claytons of Chesterfield and J & E Sedgwick & Co. Ltd of Walsall.
