Underside of the Esprit d'Equitation

A pair of finished panels coated in micro porous pvc to allow humidity and heat changes to occur without the risk of water saturation. Unlike our dressage and endurance saddles, the Esprit d'Equitation panels are leather covered and are attached using the traditional French method. Apart from looking better than a wool flocked system, this method allows easy panel change that does not involve taking the saddle to pieces if a thicker or thinner panel is needed.

 

The Esprit d'Equitation Saddle

- perfection for the multi-discipline rider.

In our opinion, not enough thought has gone into the design of multi purpose saddles in general.

This is why , as the designer, I avoided the description title “General Purpose”. A "GP" to me says “compromise” and those that know our products will have discovered that this has never been part of our design strategy!
I must say that having spent the last 12 years designing a “specialist” dressage saddle to feed my desire for perfection in this discipline, I have been guilty of ignoring the needs of others and their desire to enjoy other aspects of equitation. So here is our multi purpose saddle and it is certainly no “compromise”!

Victoria Davidson on her young mare “Beetle” “I am so excited about these saddles” she said. “The riding position is perfect and it is so comfortable for both of us!” “Unusual for a saddle to make such a difference to a horse’s attitude and performance!”
