If you're looking for a dressage saddle that offers security, softness and a lovely balanced position, the Black Country Adelinda is a real standout. The close contact flap keeps you connected to your horse, while the semi deep seat and wide twist give a supportive, settled feel without ever feeling bulky underneath you.

This one is built on Black Country's Freedom tree, so it's a great option to try if your horse has a flatter back and a lower to medium wither, since the tree keeps a flatter, more open profile through the head rather than following a rising topline.

Fit & feel

Freedom tree, suited to flatter-backed horses with a lower to medium wither and a more level topline

Semi deep seat with a wide twist for a secure yet comfortable riding position

Semi rigid knee block for extra support through the leg

Wide gullet channel for clearance either side of the spine

Close contact flap for a closer feel and better horse-to-rider communication

1/2 front gussets

Wool flocked panels, adjustable by a qualified fitter as your horse changes shape

Manufactured in 2009

Point and V-web girth straps

With its flatter Freedom tree profile, this Adelinda tends to suit rounder, flatter-backed horses and cobs particularly well, so if you're trialling it alongside a saddle on a standard or wide tree, pay close attention to how each one sits over the wither and whether either bridges front to back.

As ever, that's a starting point for narrowing things down rather than a fit guarantee, so we'd recommend trialling it alongside an appointment with a fitter to see how it sits on your horse.
