Saddles are permitted on a 5 day UK mainland trial. Simply add the saddle to your basket and proceed to check out. The trial starts on the day you receive the saddle.
Full payment is taken for the saddle at the point of check out. If the saddle fits – great! No further action required.

Is your fitter not coming until next week? No problem!
Select your delivery date at check out. Please note we recommend having the saddle delivered 2 working days before your saddle fitting appointment in case of any unexpected delays with the courier.

Sadly we are not able to offer a trial internationally at present. However, most of our international clients still find it cheaper to import a quality saddle from UK than to source one in their own country.

The Connect features a completely new tree with a flat profile and longer tree points to ensure greater support and balance of the saddle. This model has been designed and made to fit modern horses with a compact and well-muscled shape and is also warmly recommended for short backs. Its soft seat has been designed to guarantee maximum comfort, giving a close contact feeling. With a narrow twist and a seat made of technical polyurethane with a thinned shape, it ensures an incredible feeling of close contact while maintaining great comfort. Also, for this particular model there is only one type of seat, so it will not be possible to choose an open or deep seat. Another innovation concerns the flaps: made entirely of doubled bull leather, they ensure excellent contact and greater softness. In addition to the different length options, it will be possible to have 3 different projections in a single flap; this adjustment has to be done by our dealers or fitters by changing only one screw in the insertion holes. The three types of projection will be the following: - Forward (+ 2cm), to guarantee more freedom to the knee and thigh support - Standard, for a more vertical posture - Drawback (-2cm) for greater support and knee contact. The front panels attachment to flaps is in Velcro, this will allow a correct adherence between the two components and will avoid the formation of folds and wrinkles during the various projection changes. The Connect has long, ergonomically shaped knee rolls. Composed of a double-density technical material, they provide softness and comfort in the area of contact with the rider’s leg and solid support on the outer surface. The panels have a unique shape, completely different from any other model. At the front, its innovative ergonomic shape perfectly fits both muscular backs and pronounced withers, combining in a single panel the freedom of the shoulders of an SL and the support of a traditional panel. Thanks to a larger surface laying on the trapezius area and thinner edges, this panel doesn’t limit the freedom of movement of the shoulders and, at the same time, helps the balance of the saddle. Thanks to panels with gusset will also be possible to request additional flocking not only in the rear area but also in the frontal one, in case of particularly prominent withers or exposed spines. This model is available only with this type of panel, so it will not be possible to choose it in the standard or SL version

The Erreplus Connect is a modern dressage saddle designed to meet the needs of today’s compact, short-backed sport horses while offering exceptional comfort and balance for the rider. We love the innovative flat-profile tree with its longer points, which provides superb stability and support without impeding shoulder freedom — something often tricky to achieve on shorter-coupled horses. The close-contact feel is outstanding. The narrow twist and soft, supportive seat give an instant sense of connection while still being extremely comfortable, making it ideal for riders who like to feel their horse underneath them. The ability to alter the flap projection with a simple adjustment is a standout design feature, allowing the saddle to be fine-tuned to your leg position as your training evolves. We’re also impressed by the unique panel shape: it combines shoulder freedom with excellent weight distribution across the trapezius, helping improve saddle stability and comfort on well-muscled backs or horses with more pronounced withers. Combined with the soft bull leather flaps and supportive ergonomic knee rolls, the Connect delivers a truly refined riding experience for both horse and rider.
