Formerly the Farrington Libero, this model has been part of the NSC range for more than 15 years. Following a change in ownership and saddle making team at Farrington in the UK, this design continues exclusively with NSC as the NSC Libero. It is built to the same trusted design and high standards that have made it one of New Zealand’s favourite entry to medium level dressage saddles.
Finding a dressage saddle that offers both rider security and genuine horse comfort can be a challenge. The Libero delivers a supportive dressage position and a sympathetic fit for broader, shorter backed horses.
With its wide spinal clearance, shorter panel length, and generous flocking, the Libero offers stability without pressure, making it especially suited to horses with medium to flat backs or those that are croup high. For the rider, the upright cantle and longer flap encourage a secure classical position, while the medium twist ensures comfort over long schooling or competition sessions.
Why riders choose the NSC Libero
Secure and elegant dressage seat – upright cantle and medium twist balance support with comfort
Designed for broader horses – wide channel, generous panels, and shorter length suit flat or croup high backs
Refined leg position – longer flap and adjustable knee blocks guide the leg without restriction
Adaptable fit – multiple girthing options and wool flocking allow adjustments as the horse changes shape
Trusted heritage – over 15 years as a proven and respected design in New Zealand

5 | Brand New: Pristine condition, often with tags still attached. Showroom quality with zero wear.
4 | Very good: Lightly used with minimal signs of wear (like faint stirrup leather marks). The leather is supple, the tree is sound, and it has been exceptionally well cared for.
3 | Good: Showing standard, normal signs of regular use. May have cosmetic scuffs, moderate stirrup leather wear, or slight discoloration, but it is entirely structurally sound and ready to ride.
2 | Fair: Well-loved with noticeable wear. May have deeper scratches, heavier leather fading, or minor cosmetic blemishes, but the tree and safety components are completely intact. A great budget-friendly, functional option.
1 | As-Is / TLC Needed: Heavy wear or significant cosmetic damage. May need minor repairs (like flocking, a new billet, or stitching) before hitting the trails. Still functional, but priced accordingly.
