Dressage saddles are designed to elongate the rider's position and enable them to lengthen their stirrups. To achieve this position, dressage saddles are typically much straighter cut, with longer flaps and extended knee blocks to support the rider in achieving the ideal dressage seat and position. With Cob dressage saddles, it is common to find a saddle with slimmer panels to offer a closer fit to the horse. This helps prevent the saddle from feeling 'perched' on the horse's back. Cob dressage saddles also typically provide a more generous gullet channel than standard saddles. This helps to ensure that the saddle panels do not sit directly on the horse's spine, as this is a sensitive area.
Furthermore, cob dressage saddles are typically offered in widths up to 2XW or 4XW (depending on the brand). Some are also built on 'hoop' trees designed for rounder types. Some dressage saddles feature 3 girth straps or girthing options, including a point, neutral and Y girthing option. The Y girthing option is popular on many modern dressage saddles to help balance and stabilise the saddle.
Dressage saddles are commonly deep-seated with large knee blocks. However, some brands targeted at entry-level dressage riders offer more open seats. These dressage saddles can also work well for riders who need a little more room in the seat or for those who prefer a less restricted feel. Some cob dressage saddles offer large external blocks to fix the rider into a certain position and offer superior support. Other dressage saddles offer moveable blocks attached by velcro, which can be positioned to suit the individual rider. It is personal preference as to which is right for the rider. Cob dressage saddles are typically available in dual flap options, such as the Monarch Cob Dressage saddle or the Arena Cob dressage saddle.
Many popular brands and models of cob dressage saddles are available in the market. Some of our customers' favourite dressage saddles include the Monarch Cob Dressage, the Arena Cob Dressage, Kent and Masters Cob Dressage, and the Thorowgood T4 or T8 Cob Dressage. Whether your budget is £400 or £3500, The Saddle Bank has a fantastic selection of cob dressage saddles available to purchase with a 5-day UK trial.
