Suitability & About
The Peter Horobin Alivia is a sophisticated dressage saddle designed in collaboration with renowned trainer Manolo Mendez. This close contact monoflap saddle represents the pinnacle of Australian craftsmanship, specifically engineered for horses and riders seeking precision, comfort, and adjustability.
Horse Conformation Suitability
This saddle is ideally suited for horses with:
Medium to Low Withers: The adjustable tree system accommodates horses with well-defined to moderately flat withers
Flat to Curved Back Shapes: The compact panels work exceptionally well on wider, well-muscled horses with flatter back profiles
Broader Body Types: The flexible tree points curve away from the shoulder, making it perfect for horses with substantial shoulder movement
Horses requiring adjustability: The StrideFree® tree allows for width and angle adjustments as your horse develops
Key Benefits for Riders
Close Contact Design: Monoflap construction provides exceptional leg contact and communication
Deep Secure Seat: Promotes correct rider position and confidence
Detachable Knee Blocks: Customizable support for different riding styles and preferences
Shoulder Freedom: Broader front design allows unrestricted shoulder rotation
Professional Adjustability: Can be modified by qualified saddlers to maintain perfect fit throughout your horse's career
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.
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.
