About
The Maestoso De Luxe boasts several features designed to enhance the riding experience and promote a correct and balanced seat:
Deep, Extra-Supportive Seat: The saddle is built with a deep seat that offers the rider significant support and security. This design encourages a correct, upright posture and helps the rider to sit in harmony with the horse's movement.
NT Spring Tree: At its core is Stubben's innovative NT (New Technology) spring tree. This tree is designed to be flexible and adaptable to the horse's back, allowing for greater freedom of movement. It is also known for its durability and ability to distribute the rider's weight evenly.
Gusseted Wool Flocked Panels: The Maestoso De Luxe features gusseted panels filled with wool flocking. This allows for a high degree of customization by a qualified saddle fitter to achieve an optimal fit for the individual horse. The gussets provide extra support and help to balance the saddle correctly.
Flush-Fitted Stirrup Bars: The stirrup bars are recessed into the saddle tree, allowing the rider's leg to lie closer to the horse's side for a more refined and effective leg aid.
Large, Supportive Knee Rolls: The prominent knee rolls are designed to offer stability and support to the rider's leg without being restrictive. This helps to maintain a long and correct leg position.
Premium Leather: As expected from Stubben, the Maestoso De Luxe is crafted from high-quality, full-grain leather that is both durable and supple, offering a luxurious feel and excellent longevity.
Suitability
Prominent Withers: This saddle generally fits horses with moderate to high withers well, as the tree shape and panel configuration provide ample clearance.
Curvy Topline: The shape of the NT spring tree is designed to follow the contours of a horse with some curve to its back. It may not be the best choice for horses with a very straight or flat back.
Uphill Build: The overall design and balance of the saddle complement a horse that is naturally built uphill, with a wither that is higher than the croup.
Average to Narrower Build: While adjustable, the general design of the tree tends to favor horses that are not excessively wide.
