This model, created in collaboration with Adelinde Cornelissen, bears the signature of the Dutch champion, winner of the World Cup and of the Olympic Medal. Tested by the champion who gave it her name and by many other important professional riders, this saddle has demonstrated that it considerably improves both the horse’s gait and the rider’s seat. The front rolls with Velcro allow riders to choose the knee support that best suits their needs. The Adelinde model is always supplied with two sets of rolls, a smaller one and a larger one, so that the saddle can be customised to suit the riding style. This model is available with a deep or open seat. The first supports a more vertical posture, while the second ensures greater freedom of sitting and moving. Since the panels of the Adelinde are not attached to the under-flap, they leave the front billets free: the rider can choose to position them on the flap or to use them, once they have been extracted from the front holes, in direct contact with the saddle pad and with the horse’s belly to allow greater freedom of movement of the horse. Another innovation concerns the flaps: made entirely of doubled leather, they ensure excellent contact and a great softness. At the rear of the tree there are two extra panel attachment holes that allow the channel enlargement of 1 centimetre more (very useful in the case of horses with a very wide or exposed spine). *All our saddles are available in 16/17/18 inch versions *Available with Standard or with SL panels for horses with prominent shoulders. *Leather Colour: Black, Cacao, Dark Brown *Tree: Classic Dressage *Seat Depth: Open or Deep
