Why Choose the Henri de Rivel Memor-X?

The Memor-X is worth considering for riders seeking a comfortable, traditional leather close-contact saddle without moving into a high-priced specialist competition model. Its memory foam seat, padded flaps, and supportive knee blocks are designed to improve comfort and stability, while the available tree widths offer additional fitting choices.

It can be suitable for everyday schooling, jumping lessons, and general English riding when the saddle is appropriate for the horse and rider.

Care and Maintenance

1. Remove dust, sweat, and dirt after each ride.
2. Clean the printed leather with a suitable saddle cleaner or saddle soap.
3. Apply leather conditioner sparingly and follow the manufacturer’s care instructions.
4. Store the saddle in a dry, ventilated location away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
5. Inspect the billets, stitching, knee blocks, panels, and tree regularly.
6. Arrange periodic saddle-fitting checks to ensure the saddle continues to suit the horse.

Saddle-Fitting Advice

Choose a seat size that suits the rider, then have a qualified saddle fitter assess the tree width, panel contact, saddle balance, spinal clearance, and shoulder movement.

A Wide or Extra Wide tree is not automatically the best choice for every broad-backed horse. The saddle must fit the horse’s actual shape, and changes in weight or musculature may affect the fit over time.

If buying secondhand, request photographs of the seat, underside, panels, billets, stitching, and tree area. Confirm the condition of the memory foam and all structural components.

Ordering Information

Before purchasing, confirm:

• Required seat size.
• Regular, Wide, or Extra Wide tree.
