Rider benefits for you

Beneath elegant lines, the perfect dressage seat and leading saddle innovations can be tailored perfectly for your ridden biomechanics. When you optimise the saddle for your natural position, your balance and stability are enhanced, you ride in total synergy and your vision comes to life.

“Sitting centrally in the saddle you feel close to your horse, able to sit deeper with exceptional stability to move with the swing of your horse.” Isabell Werth
Additional copy: horse benefits For your horse

Engineered to adapt with your horse as they move through their body with total comfort, displaying strength and suppleness through their movements.

You will immediately notice your connection is accentuated and your horse more intrinsically responsive to your aids.

“I love to see the freedom in my horse’s shoulder, to feel in their expression they are comfortable and supple. The adjustability of my saddle together with CAIR has kept so many of my horses so comfortable over so many years.” Isabell Werth
