Whatever type of riding you do, training your horse is the bedrock for any type of display or performance. We\u2019d like to introduce you to two of our dressage saddle models<\/strong>, prized by the world\u2019s top riders in their daily training sessions or for competing. A dressage saddle enhances your riding experience, giving you greater fluidity, accuracy, while perfecting your position. It gives you a different experience to training sessions, to feel the relationship between horse and rider in a new way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cadence dressage saddle for a freer rider<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Cadence<\/strong> saddle provides great positioning<\/strong> for your legs without obstructing your movement. It\u2019s ideal for riders who sit firm<\/strong> in their seat. The comfort<\/strong> and feeling of contact it gives makes it an excellent competition saddle but also the perfect partner for training at the stables. It V-shaped girthing<\/strong> ensures the saddle sits nice and stable on the horse\u2019s back. Its DTA 50 panels <\/strong>are larger than the traditional kind and the stitching at the back enables the saddle-maker to lay the foam padding flatter. The saddle is more stable, especially for horses with rounded backs while the rider\u2019s weight is even better distributed over the horse\u2019s back.<\/p>\n\n\n

Gwendolen Fer\u2019s verdict:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI use the Cadence saddle as it gives me a straighter leg position and to be at one with my horses. I like this saddle as it gives me freedom while instilling accuracy in my movements!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tempo dressage saddle, for greater precision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Tempo<\/strong> is the latest addition to our dressage saddle collection and provides a steadier seat<\/strong> for the pelvis and a more upright position. It has a deep seat contoured to provide excellent engagement<\/strong>. Its oblique blocks positioned higher up and further back provide a firm hold for the legs yet allow the knee to move<\/strong>. The new design for the front of the panels prevents the saddle from moving too far towards the horse\u2019s shoulders. It also gives it excellent freedom of movement<\/strong> to the front hand of the horse. The adaptable strapping is an advantage for adjusting the saddle\u2019s balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terhi Stegars\u2019 verdict:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love the Antar\u00e8s Tempo saddle. It\u2019s seat provides a very light engagement yet there\u2019s enough support for the knees if you need it. I think it\u2019s the most comfortable saddle I\u2019ve ever sat on. I\u2019ve worked with Antar\u00e8s saddles for the last 15 years and used them for many European and World Championship events. I can\u2019t imagine riding a horse without them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
