Why Choose the Equitare Tempo All Purpose Saddle?

The Equitare Tempo offers a practical combination of traditional leather styling and everyday versatility. Its deep seat and padded knee rolls support a comfortable riding position, while removable knee blocks allow riders to personalize their leg support.

Its all-purpose design makes it suitable for general schooling, flatwork, and introductory jumping when correctly fitted. Multiple seat sizes and color options also make it easier to select a saddle that suits the rider’s preferences.

Care and Maintenance

• Remove dirt, sweat, and hair after every ride.
• Clean the leather using suitable saddle soap or leather cleaner.

• Avoid excessive moisture and direct heat.
• Store on a suitable saddle rack in a dry, ventilated location.
• Inspect billets, stitching, and stirrup bars regularly.

Saddle-Fitting Advice

A comfortable seat for the rider does not automatically mean the saddle fits the horse. Have a qualified saddle fitter assess the tree width, wither clearance, spinal clearance, panel contact, and saddle balance.

The listed regular tree and medium gullet may not suit every horse. Confirm the required fit before purchasing.

Ordering Information

Before ordering, confirm your preferred seat size and color, current availability, saddle condition, and included accessories. Stirrup leathers and irons are not included in the standard listing and may need to be purchased separately.
