17 inch Childeric DNL 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.

Childéric DNL Dressage Designed with a deeper seat and narrow twist, to help give the rider a closer feel. The Childéric DNL dressage saddle is one of the great successes of the Childéric Sellier factory. It has a deep wide seat to assist the rider with a stable and comfortable position, and large front blocks for optimal leg support. This mono-flap dressage saddle incorporates our new V-shaped girthing for perfect distribution of pressure on the horse's back. The DNL's foam panels are specifically designed to increase the close contact nature of the saddle. This also allows for excellent distribution of pressure and increased freedom through the horse's shoulder. Designed using the 'new generation' Childéric Tree.

The Childéric DNL Dressage Saddle is a fantastic choice for riders who want a deep, supportive seat and a close connection with their horse. Here at The Saddle Bank we love the combination of a deep, wide seat and a narrow twist, which provides a stable and comfortable position while enhancing feel. The large front blocks give excellent leg support, and the mono-flap design with V-shaped girthing ensures optimal pressure distribution on the horse’s back. The foam panels are designed to improve close contact and allow freedom of movement through the horse’s shoulders, making the DNL a versatile and high-performance saddle.
