Icelandic riding has a long history and tradition, thanks to the distinctive gait of these horses, suited for covering long distances. To fully meet the needs of this breed and at the same time guarantee maximum comfort to the rider, we have developed a completely new saddle: the Essenza.
Essenza can be used both for Dressage and Eventing disciplines, as well as for Icelandic riding.
Essenza is developed on a deep jumping tree with a square cantle, a feature that ensures maximum comfort for the rider.
In addition to different flap length options, it is possible to have 3 different projections in a single flap, a change that can be made by adjusting a screw at the back of the flap.
The three possible projections are:
- Forward (+2 cm from standard): To guarantee more freedom to the knee and thigh support
- Standard: For a more vertical position
- Backward (-2 cm from standard): For greater knee support and contact
The contact area between panels and flaps is made from Velcro, allowing perfect adhesion between the two components, thus avoiding the formation of folds during projection changes. The wider seat and padded flaps and skirts guarantee maximum comfort for the rider.
As in the Connect and Impulse models, the Essenza also offers different types of panels:
- Standard panel
- Anatomical panel (cut back in the front part, to ensure greater freedom for the horse’s shoulders).
