Description

Fit: The U-shaped headpiece makes the saddle suitable for wide horses. Its very short contact surface makes this saddle perfect for horses/ponies with short backs and its small seat makes it perfect for small riders.

Description : Ithaka dressage saddle in junior version. The width and depth of the saddle tree, as well as the length and inclination of the saddle flaps and the size of the knee rolls are adapted to the body structure of young riders.

The expert

Why the right fit is everything.

„A saddle can be the finest piece of leather craftsmanship, if it doesn’t fit, it does nothing for horse or rider."
  • Horse health

    A poorly fitting saddle causes pressure points, blocks movement and leads to long-term back and muscle damage.

  • Rider balance

    The right fit supports a balanced seat, relaxed hips and a free pelvis. This makes fine, precise aids possible.

  • Real harmony

    A well-fitting saddle promotes the well-being of horse and rider, for relaxed, balanced and harmonious riding.

Anatomy & fit

What a well-fitting saddle does for your horse.

A poor saddle fit blocks the shoulder muscles, prevents the back muscles from developing and leads to chronic tension. The right saddle reverses this spiral, the horse can move freely, build muscle healthily and move without pain.

With a poorly fitting saddle

Poorly muscled horse

Pressure points and the wrong gullet width block shoulder freedom, prevent muscle development and lead to chronic tension, movement problems and injuries.

  • Underdeveloped musculature
  • Unfavourable saddle position
  • Restricted freedom of movement
  • Increased risk of injury
With a well-fitting saddle

Normally muscled horse

A well-fitting saddle lets the shoulder muscles work freely, allows the back muscles to develop and ensures pain-free movement, the foundation for healthy riding.

  • Harmonious topline
  • Well-defined musculature
  • Balanced saddle position
  • Optimal freedom of movement

What our customers say.

„Terminabsprache war zĂŒgig und problemlos. Frau Collin hat sich sehr viel Zeit genommen. Die Beratung war hervorragend, ich konnte mehrere SĂ€ttel ausprobieren und habe mich dann fĂŒr einen Sattel von Sommer entschieden, der von der Sattellage optimal meiner Stute passt (sie hat mit RĂŒcken und Schulter Probleme) und in dem ich sehr bequem sitze. Ein Mega Sattel, der seinen Preis wert ist. Ich habe jetzt wieder ein ganz neues positives ReitgefĂŒhl und weniger Probleme mit meiner HĂŒfte."

Jutta Richter

„Super Service, Frau Colling meldet sich mega schnell zurĂŒck. Sie hat mir, als unerfahrene SattelkĂ€uferin, mit Rat und Tat zur Seite gestanden obwohl sie nicht bei mir vor Ort war. So kann ich nun den neuen Sommer Sattel mit meiner Sattlerin vor Ort anpassen lassen. Herzlichen Dank fĂŒr die raschen RĂŒckmeldungen, genauso sollte das als Dienstleisterin sein :-) Viele GrĂŒĂŸe Bianca Schumacher-Scotognella"
