Why Choose the Equitare Cadence Eventing Saddle?
The Equitare Cadence Eventing Saddle combines a supportive eventing design with practical adjustability. Its deep seat, substantial knee blocks, and rear support are intended to help riders maintain stability while transitioning between flatwork and jumping activities.
The wool-flocked panels offer cushioning, while the interchangeable gullet bars provide several tree-width options. This makes the saddle a versatile choice for riders who want an eventing saddle that can be adjusted to better suit their horse, subject to correct professional fitting.
Care and Maintenance
To keep your saddle in good condition:
- Wipe away dust, sweat, and dirt after each ride.
- Clean the leather with a suitable leather cleaner.
- Apply leather conditioner as recommended for the leather finish.
- Store the saddle on a suitable rack in a dry, well-ventilated space.
- Inspect the billets, stitching, tree, and gullet components regularly.
- Keep the interchangeable gullet bars organized and follow the manufacturer’s instructions when changing them.
- Have the saddle’s fit and wool flocking checked periodically by a qualified saddle fitter.
Saddle-Fitting Advice
A suitable saddle should fit both the rider and the horse. Choose the seat size according to the rider’s build, then assess tree width, panel contact, wither clearance, and shoulder freedom.
Although the adjustable gullet system offers several width options, it does not guarantee a correct fit for every horse. Consult a qualified saddle fitter before regular use, particularly if the horse’s shape changes with training or conditioning.
