HDR Vegan-X Dressage Saddle
Product Overview
The HDR Vegan-X Dressage Saddle by Henri de Rivel is a lightweight, synthetic equestrian saddle designed for dressage schooling and flatwork. Made from animal-product-free synthetic leather, it offers the classic appearance of traditional leather while providing convenient, low-maintenance care.
Featuring a medium-deep seat and stabilizing knee rolls, the Vegan-X Dressage Saddle is designed to support a balanced riding position and consistent leg placement. Its synthetic wool-flocked panels help distribute the rider’s weight across the horse’s back, while the interchangeable gullet plate (IGP) system allows the tree width to be adjusted using compatible gullet plates.
The saddle is a practical option for riders seeking a dressage-focused design with durable, easy-care materials. <Cite refs={[“turn959451search1″,”turn959451search7”]}/>
