Suitability
The Ideal Olivia Dressage saddle is particularly well-suited for a variety of horse types, especially those with more specific fitting needs. Its design is ideal for:
Developed Dressage Horses: The Tonishia tree is specifically designed to fit the modern, well-muscled dressage horse, providing ample space for muscle mass around the base of the withers.
Horses with a Broader Back: The broad bearing surface of the panels is excellent for distributing weight over a wider area, making it a great option for horses with flatter back profiles or those needing greater comfort and pressure reduction.
Horses with Complex Shoulder Conformation: The tree and panel design are carefully constructed to allow for maximum freedom of the trapezius muscles and shoulders, preventing any impedance to movement.
"Tricky to Fit" Horses: Ideal Saddles are renowned for their customizability and are often a go-to choice for professional saddle fitters when dealing with horses that have non-standard conformations. The Olivia is a prime example of a saddle designed to address these fitting challenges.
About
The Ideal Olivia is a high-performance dressage saddle crafted to offer an exceptional level of close contact and precision. This saddle is a favorite among riders who demand a direct connection with their horse. Its innovative monoflap design removes the bulky double flap, allowing for a seamless flow of communication from leg to horse, while the high-quality materials and craftsmanship ensure durability and comfort.
The Olivia is built on Ideal's exclusive Tonishia saddle tree, which is engineered to accommodate the powerful, developed physique of modern dressage horses. The saddle's broad bearing surface panels work in harmony with the tree to distribute the rider's weight evenly, reducing pressure points and providing a stable, comfortable platform for both horse and rider. The saddle also features a medium twist and a close-contact seat, allowing the rider to sit correctly and feel the horse's every movement.
