HDR Galia Close Contact Saddle – Henri de Rivel Jumping Saddle
Product Description
The HDR Galia Close Contact Saddle by Henri de Rivel is designed for show jumping, hunter riding, and everyday schooling. Combining a deep, supportive seat with a close-contact design, this saddle helps riders maintain a secure, balanced position while developing effective communication with their horses.
Crafted with high-quality covered grippy leather, the Galia features an elegant finish with signature contrast stitching. Its deep seat offers additional support over fences, while the extra-forward flaps accommodate shorter stirrup lengths commonly used in jumping. Molded knee pads and adjustable knee and thigh blocks allow riders to personalize their leg support and riding position.
The saddle incorporates high-density foam panels designed to provide cushioning and support for the horse’s back. Reinforced billet straps and a protective flap guard help improve durability during regular use. Available in selected seat sizes and regular or wide tree widths, the HDR Galia is a practical choice for riders seeking classic styling, comfort, and reliable support for training and competition.
