Why Choose the Ovation Salinero II?
The Salinero II combines a supportive dressage design with adjustable features that make it a practical option for riders seeking comfort and versatility. Its covered leather offers a grippy feel, while the adjustable knee rolls allow the rider to personalize leg support. The interchangeable gullet system also provides flexibility when adjusting the tree width, although it does not replace a professional saddle-fitting assessment.
Care and Maintenance
Clean the leather regularly with a suitable leather cleaner and conditioner. Keep the saddle dry and properly stored when not in use. Inspect the billets, stitching, panels, and tree components periodically, and use only compatible gullet plates for adjustments.
For the best results, consult a qualified saddle fitter to assess the saddle’s suitability for both horse and rider before regular use.
