Crosby Dressage External Knee Block Saddle II

Product Description

The Crosby Dressage External Knee Block Saddle II is a premium English dressage saddle designed to provide rider stability, comfort, and a secure leg position during flatwork and dressage training. Handcrafted from luxurious European double leather, it combines a soft, supple feel with excellent grip and supportive construction for everyday schooling and more advanced dressage work.

The saddle features a classic deep seat that helps riders maintain a balanced, secure position while developing clear communication with the horse. Its strategically positioned external knee blocks provide additional support and help encourage correct leg alignment, while the slimline stirrup bar promotes closer contact between the rider’s leg and the saddle.

Traditionally flocked panels conform to the horse’s back and can be adjusted over time by a qualified saddle fitter. The broad bearing surface is designed to distribute the rider’s weight, while the generous spinal channel provides clearance along the horse’s spine. A drop-panel design helps accommodate a range of horse conformations.

The Opti-Fit Gullet System allows the saddle’s width to be adjusted using compatible gullet inserts. Supplied with a medium gullet in the referenced configuration, the Crosby Dressage External Knee Block Saddle II is a practical option for riders seeking a traditional leather dressage saddle with adaptable fitting features.
