Horse Conformation Suitability
This saddle is ideally suited for horses with:
Normal to medium withers - well-defined but not overly prominent withers that blend smoothly into a well-muscled back
Moderate back curvature - horses with average curved backs rather than extremely flat or roofy conformations
Medium to broader body types - particularly suitable for warmbloods and other sport horses with substantial muscle development
Well-developed shoulder muscles - the medium wide tree accommodates horses with good muscle coverage behind the shoulder
Key Benefits
Deep, secure seat - promotes correct rider position and stability for advanced dressage movements
Close contact design - allows for precise communication between horse and rider
Quality leather construction - ensures durability and develops a beautiful patina with proper care
Balanced tree design - distributes rider weight evenly across the horse's back
Premium craftsmanship - Harry Dabbs saddles are known for their exceptional build quality and attention to detail
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.
