THE "VIENNA" DRESSAGE SADDLE

The Strada Dressage Saddle's unique design offers the closest possible connection between horse and rider. It is the result of many years of painstaking research into the bio-mechanics of horses and riders.

Features:

Flexible tree that uses no metal components and is designed to distribute weight evenly.

Precision-moulded shock-absorbent panels that react to heat and pressure by softening and adapting completely to the horse's contours.

5 fits reflecting different BODY TYPES, not simply different widths.

Tree and panel design allow the horse to move freely throughout the entire range of movements, without creating pressure points that hinder muscular development and performance.

Seat & flap design, as well as stirrup bar placement, permit the rider to sit naturally and apply the aids easily and effectively.

The saddle sits very close to and "around", rather than "on" the horse, resulting in superior stability, particularly on wider horses. There is no need for the girth to be very tight.

The rider can really feel the horse, rather than just the saddle. The all-important weight aids are readily transmitted to the horse.

Since acquiring their Strada they have been consistently placed and have progressed from Elementary to Medium.

Although the Strada "Vienna" is a dressage saddle, it is also suitable for other equestrian disciplines, e.g. Showing or Working Equitation.

Helen Jacks-Hewett, McTimoney animal practitioner, and "Sapphire", who in 2008 is 30 (!!!) years old but in fine form in her Strada, regularly placed in dressage classes with over 70%. In this picture the saddle is used for showing: Helen and Sapphire regularly compete (and win!) in Veterans' classes.
