Equitare Cadence Eventing Saddle – Black

Product Description

The Equitare Cadence Eventing Saddle in Black is a leather English saddle designed for eventing riders who need a secure seat, supportive leg position, and dependable performance across different riding phases. Suitable for cross-country schooling, stadium jumping, and general riding, it combines practical construction with a classic black finish.

Handcrafted from soft, supple leather with a grippy surface, the saddle features a deep, cushioned seat designed to help riders maintain stability during demanding rides. Large front knee blocks, padded knee rests, and rear blocks provide additional support for the rider’s leg, helping maintain a balanced position over fences and across varied terrain.

The saddle is built on a durable plastic tree designed to maintain its shape. Wool-flocked panels provide cushioning and can be adjusted by a qualified saddle fitter when necessary. Nylon-lined leather billet straps help resist stretching, while stainless steel stirrup bars and reinforced flap edges contribute to everyday durability.

The Equitare Cadence Eventing Saddle is available in black and selected seat sizes. Depending on the specific version, it may feature a fixed medium-width gullet or an interchangeable gullet system. Check the exact model and included fitting components before ordering.
