The Multi Saddle

The Multi

The New Strada Multi Saddle -
- perfection for the multi-discipline rider.

Featuring the same high quality innovations and built to the same exacting standards of our top range saddles, including the superflex tree and heat sensitive panels.

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”!

The First Multi
The First Multi
The first Muti prototype outside Ray’s workshop. It needed a few modifications but I found that it was the most comfortable saddle I have ever used… and Luis seemed to go better than ever. Interesting that I did not notice the girth buckles under the flaps and Luis preferred the narrow girth!

The Finished Panels
The Finished Panels
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 Multi 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.
     
Also available to complement the Multi Saddle are our specialist accessories including bridles, girth and numnahs.
