Dressage saddles are designed to elongate the rider’s position and enable them to lengthen their stirrups. To achieve this position, dressage saddles are typically much straighter cut, with longer flaps and extended knee blocks to support the rider in achieving the ideal dressage seat and position.
Dressage saddles are commonly deep-seated with large knee blocks. However, some brands targeted at entry-level dressage riders offer more open seats. These dressage saddles can also work well for riders who need a little more room in the seat or for those who prefer a less restricted feel. Some dressage saddles offer large external blocks to fix the rider into a certain position and offer superior support. Other dressage saddles offer moveable blocks attached by velcro, which can be positioned to suit the individual rider. Dressage saddles are available in both monoflap and dual-flap options. Some people prefer a monoflap or single flap to achieve a closer feel of contact with their horse.
Some dressage saddles feature 3 girth straps, which can include a point, neutral and Y girthing option. The Y girthing option is popular on many modern dressage saddles to help balance and stabilise the saddle. You should also consider your horse's back profile. If your horse has a higher wither, you may need a deeper rear gusset and fuller drop panels to help lift the saddle and keep it off the horse's spine and withers. You should also look at the shape of the horse's back. Does the horse have a high wither with a flat back or a high wither with a curved back? As this will greatly impact the fit of the saddle. You should also assess if your horse has any muscle atrophy behind the wither. If so, you should consider a flocked saddle with front gusset options to ensure the saddle does not drop into those hollows. If you are unsure what would work best for your horse, you can always ask our experts for recommendations on the best high-wither dressage saddle for your horse.
