About This Saddle
The Peter Horobin Geneva Dressage Saddle is a beautifully crafted piece designed for optimal performance and comfort. With a 17.5" seat, it offers a balanced and supportive ride, ideal for dressage enthusiasts. The saddle is constructed with high-quality calfskin leather, providing a luxurious feel and durability. Its Stridefree tree and wool-filled panels ensure adaptability and comfort for both horse and rider.
This saddle is in very good condition, showing minimal signs of wear. It has been well-maintained, with all safety components passing inspection, making it a reliable choice for discerning riders.
Horse Suitability
The Geneva model is particularly suited for modern compact Warmbloods, Iberian horses, ponies, Cobs, and Arabian crosses. Its design caters to horses with a shorter back and limited weight-bearing area before the 18th thoracic vertebra (T18). The medium tree shape and moderate tree rock accommodate average curved backs, while the medium wither clearance suits normal withers. The compact, upswept panels prevent pressure over the lumbar spine, ensuring comfort and freedom of movement.
Key Benefits
- Compact, upswept panels prevent bridging and pressure on the horse's back.
- Movable Velcro knee/thigh blocks allow for customizable rider support.
- High-quality calfskin leather offers a luxurious feel and durability.
- Adjustable gullet for flexible fitting options.
- Long billets with point strap and balance tab ensure secure girthing.

Saddle Condition Guide
-
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.
