HDR Synergy Close Contact Saddle

Product Description

The HDR Synergy Close Contact Saddle by Henri de Rivel (HDR) is designed for riders who want a balanced, close-contact feel for show jumping and eventing. Its forward-cut flap supports a shorter stirrup position, while the medium-depth seat and strategically positioned knee and thigh blocks help encourage stability and balance over fences.

Constructed with smooth covered leather, the HDR Synergy combines a sporty appearance with practical features for regular schooling and competition. Its high-density foam panels are designed to provide cushioning and support, while the injection-moulded polymer tree offers a durable foundation.

The saddle features an Interchangeable Gullet System (IGP), allowing the gullet width to be changed to help accommodate different horse conformations. The listed version comes with a medium gullet, although the correct fit should always be assessed for the individual horse.
