🎥 In this video, we take a closer look at the adjustment options and design features found in Cavaletti saddles, and how they help you achieve the best possible fit for your horse.

Cavaletti saddles are known for offering excellent value, practical design, and rider comfort, making them a popular choice for everyday riders who still want quality and reliability. 💙

When choosing or fitting a Cavaletti saddle, there are several important features that make them suitable for a wide variety of horses.


Adjustable Gullet System 🔧

Many Cavaletti models feature an interchangeable gullet system.

This allows the saddle width to be altered, helping to maintain a correct fit as your horse changes shape over time.

This can be especially useful for:

🐴 Young or developing horses
⚖️ Horses gaining or losing condition
🔄 Horses that change shape seasonally
📈 Riders looking for flexibility without replacing their saddle

Having an adjustable gullet makes Cavaletti saddles a versatile and practical choice.


Wool Flocked Panels – Adjustable Fit 🐑

Cavaletti saddles feature wool flocked panels, allowing for ongoing adjustment by a qualified saddle fitter.

✨ Wool flocking can be customised to improve balance, comfort, and pressure distribution.

Benefits include:

🐑 A softer, more adaptable fit
🧩 Even weight distribution along the back
🔧 The ability to rebalance as your horse develops
💙 Increased long-term comfort

This adjustability is key for maintaining a well-balanced saddle over time.


Rider Support & Security 🦵

Cavaletti saddles are designed with rider comfort and stability in mind.

Depending on the model, you may find:

🔒 Supportive knee blocks for added security
✨ Comfortable seat design to encourage good position
🏇 Options for jump, dressage, and general-purpose riding

These features help riders feel confident and balanced in their saddle.


Practical Design & Stability 🎯

Stability is essential for both comfort and performance.

This can be particularly helpful for horses who are:

🔄 Rounder in build
⬆️ Developing muscle
🏇 Active and forward going

A stable saddle supports better movement and improved rider confidence.
