Dressage Saddles
In dressage riding, physical contact between the rider and horse is extremely important because comparatively few aids are given via the reins. Most of the time, the rider communicates with the horse through body posture and leg. This necessitates a special dressage saddle that can effectively communicate the aids to the horse. Dressage saddles typically have long, straight-cut flaps with flat knee pads. This design supports the dressage rider’s upright seat and long leg. Dressage saddles have a high pommel and cantle, allowing a deep seat so that the rider automatically sits in the correct position. As a result its design, the dressage saddle gives the rider little scope for movement, but it does enable him to give the horse optimal weight shift aids.
Never make any compromises when selecting your dressage saddle, because you and your horse will only enjoy working together if you have a proper fitting saddle. Adjustable dressage saddles are very practical for young horses that are still developing muscles and tend to change shape as a result.
