Product Specifications

Trainers Mariel Dressage Saddle Overview

The Trainers Mariel is a dressage saddle designed to provide a balanced and supportive riding position. The model features a medium-deep seat and padded knee rolls, making it suitable for riders looking for additional support during dressage schooling and flatwork.

The Mariel is also offered with the Series 1 X-Change gullet system, allowing the gullet width to be changed when required.

Adjustable Series 1 Gullet System

This particular saddle currently has a Wide gullet fitted.

The supplied compatible gullet range is:

• Series 1 N
• Medium
• Medium Wide
• Wide
• Extra Wide
• 2XW

This interchangeable system provides flexibility when the horse’s shape or fitting requirements call for a different gullet width.

The current Wide fitting should be considered the specification of this individual saddle. Any gullet change should be selected and fitted appropriately, preferably with professional saddle-fitting advice.

Rider Seat and Flap

The saddle has a 17-inch stamped seat, measuring approximately 43 cm.

The flap measures 42 cm from the stirrup bar, providing a useful reference when comparing the saddle with another dressage saddle.

The Mariel’s dressage-oriented configuration is designed to support the rider’s position while maintaining practical contact with the horse. The model is documented with padded knee rolls and a medium-deep seat.

Flock-Filled Panels

This particular saddle has flock-filled panels with an approximate 44 cm panel length.

The supplied channel measurements are:

• 8.5 cm midway
• 7 cm rear

These dimensions can help buyers compare the saddle with their existing saddle and assess the available spinal clearance.

Changing the gullet may affect the overall fit and channel geometry, so the measurements should be considered alongside the horse’s individual conformation.
