The Adam Ellis Signature Dressage is one of the classic designs by renowned master saddler Adam Ellis of UK Saddles Ltd. This traditional dressage saddle features the characteristic straight-cut flap and deeper seat that accommodates the longer leg position required for dressage work.
This 17.5" saddle is designed to suit horses with broader, more muscular backs and lower to medium withers. It's particularly well-suited for horses with:
Flat to moderately curved back shapes
Low to medium withers (mutton withers) – flat, broad withers that lack definition
Broader, well-muscled conformation
Cob types and stockier warmbloods
Round-bodied horses with wider barrel shapes
Key Benefits

Important Note: Saddle fitting is crucial. While a saddle model may be designed for a specific horse type, it's always recommended to have a professional saddle fitter assess both the horse and rider to ensure the best possible fit.
