17 inch Black Country Dante Dressage Black Medium Wide

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.

This saddle is classed as GRADE 5: Used saddle. Average condition. Showing obvious signs of use and wear. Will likely include scuffs/marks/discolouration as highlighted in photos.

The Dante Dressage Saddle oozes quality and finesse and has been deigned utilising the very best in technological advances. The saddle features a sleek look and a close contact design which allows the rider to feel closer to the horse. This saddle also includes a narrow twist which is preferable for some riders. It helps to keep the rider in a forward, upright position to maximise effectiveness. Extensive research and development has preceded the design of this saddle and has contributed to its ability to optimise the position of the rider. A squared-off cantle provides a slimmer look from the back, which enhances the elegance of the saddle. The saddle flap is also square as opposed to rounded, which creates a soft angle and sophisticated look. The skirt also features an innovative design which really catches the eye. In addition, the head nail is also square adding to the unique appearance of this saddle. This saddle features a standard internal knee roll which provides an unrestricted feel for the rider and allows them to freely adjust their leg position. The exemplary quality of this saddle is added to by the calf covered leather it is made from, giving a soft and supple feel.

The Black Country Dante Dressage Saddle is a perfect blend of quality, finesse, and advanced design. Here at The Saddle Bank we love its sleek, close contact feel, which brings the rider closer to the horse while the narrow twist helps maintain a forward, upright position for maximum effectiveness. The squared-off cantle and flap create a slimmer, elegant profile, complemented by the innovative skirt and square head nail for a truly sophisticated look. With a standard internal knee roll allowing freedom of movement, and soft, supple calf leather adding luxury and comfort, the Black Country Dante is an exceptional choice for riders seeking precision, style, and performance in the dressage arena.
