Arena All Purpose Saddle

Product Description

The Arena All Purpose Saddle is designed for riders seeking comfort, balance, and versatility across a range of equestrian activities. Crafted from quality European leather, this saddle combines classic styling with practical features to support everyday riding, flatwork schooling, jumping, and leisurely trail rides.

Part of the Arena Saddles collection, this model incorporates Horse and Rider Technology (HART), bringing together adjustable fitting features and rider-support systems designed with horse and rider comfort in mind.

The balanced all-purpose seat provides a versatile riding position, while the movable knee blocks allow riders to customise their support according to their preferences and riding discipline. Its generous panels are designed to provide a broad contact area against the horse’s back.

Key Features and Benefits

Premium European Leather

The quality leather construction provides a refined appearance and traditional saddle finish, making it suitable for riders who value both presentation and practical everyday use.

Movable Knee Blocks

The adjustable-position knee blocks offer customisable leg support, helping riders find a comfortable and stable position for different riding activities.

EASY-CHANGE Gullet System

This fitting system allows the gullet width to be adjusted using compatible gullet plates. Appropriate adjustment should be based on the horse’s conformation and professional saddle-fitting advice.

EASY-CHANGE Riser System

The riser system provides options for adjusting panel balance to help accommodate the horse’s changing shape and improve saddle fit when correctly assessed.

CAIR Cushion System

The CAIR system uses air-based cushioning technology designed to distribute pressure across the saddle panels.

Elastiflex Tree

The Elastiflex tree is designed to provide ergonomic flexibility while maintaining saddle structure and rider support.

Versatile All-Purpose Design

The saddle’s balanced seat and general-purpose configuration make it suitable for flatwork, introductory jumping, everyday schooling, and recreational trail riding.

Fit and Compatibility

Choosing the correct Arena All Purpose Saddle requires consideration of both rider size and horse conformation. Confirm the seat size, gullet width, panel balance, and saddle clearance before purchase.

The EASY-CHANGE fitting systems provide adjustment options, but they do not guarantee a suitable fit for every horse. A qualified saddle fitter can help assess the horse’s back shape, wither clearance, shoulder freedom, and saddle stability.

Available colours and sizes may vary by retailer and regional stock.

Care and Maintenance

Clean the leather regularly with products suitable for equestrian tack. Apply an appropriate leather conditioner according to the manufacturer’s instructions and store the saddle in a dry, ventilated area. Inspect stitching, billets, and other components routinely to maintain the saddle’s condition and safety.
