Fit: Thanks to the flexible panels, Sommer saddles adapt very well to any back shape. The saddle can also be adjusted via the padding and 10 gullet plates in the head iron. The head iron is U-shaped as standard but can also be reshaped differently. Due to its extremely good adaptability, it is also suitable for horses that are still growing/developing.
Description: The Opus dressage saddle from SOMMER combines classic lines with modern functionality. This saddle offers an exceptionally close connection to the horse for riders who demand fine aids, a stable seat, and perfect balance.
„A saddle can be the finest piece of leather craftsmanship, if it doesn’t fit, it does nothing for horse or rider."
A poorly fitting saddle causes pressure points, blocks movement and leads to long-term back and muscle damage.
The right fit supports a balanced seat, relaxed hips and a free pelvis. This makes fine, precise aids possible.
A well-fitting saddle promotes the well-being of horse and rider, for relaxed, balanced and harmonious riding.
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.
Pressure points and the wrong gullet width block shoulder freedom, prevent muscle development and lead to chronic tension, movement problems and injuries.
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.
