Saddles
Saddles & Saddle Pads – Perfect Balance for Horse and Rider
Our Topreiter saddles are the result of decades of research and development, driven by a deep understanding of the Icelandic horse’s anatomy and movement. With specially shaped panels that taper towards the back, a saddle tree designed specifically for the Icelandic horse, and a weight-bearing surface that does not extend beyond the 18th vertebra, we ensure even pressure distribution and maximum comfort for both horse and rider.
Made from high-quality Spanish leather that is naturally refined and sealed, our materials are produced in Europe by long-standing partners, while our saddles are expertly handcrafted.
Our wool panels are not simply stuffed but carefully layered in longitudinal sections to prevent clumping and ensure an even, comfortable contact surface.
Our saddles are designed to support both horse and rider without restricting movement. This is especially crucial in the unique gaits of the Icelandic horse, such as tölt and pace, where the horse’s drive must flow freely through its body. Our models are constructed to absorb and distribute the horse’s power evenly, without limiting the shoulders or back.
Additionally, our saddles can be adjusted at any time without compromising quality. Thanks to their special construction, they can be cold-adjusted within minutes - whether due to training progress, changes in body condition, or muscle development.
