With the arrival of winter, extreme weather conditions and tumbling temperatures can make riding and training a little more ‘exciting’ for your horse. Childéric Saddles have two design solutions to give riders a little more confidence in the saddle this season:
‘Childéric Dressage Handle’ is a simple ‘buckle up, fix and go’ design for use on dressage saddles.
The strap, created as part of the growing Childéric accessories collection, fits neatly onto the Dee rings of the saddle and offers the rider added confidence as well as being a useful training tool for the rider.
RRP: £40.00 Colours: Black Leather: Calfskin
The Childéric Airbag Attachment is a clever design detail, which can be incorporated into your bespoke saddle, along with unique tweaks to seat shape, depth through to carefully crafted knee blocks and focus on creating the perfect balance, so you feel more secure and confident in the saddle.
