We at Rivanna have recently become agents for Horselines, who sell the above mentioned range of saddles. We have everything from a basic synthetic saddle (quite similar to Wintec and Tekna but slightly lower in price), to luxurious show, close contact and dressage saddles. We don't only stock English saddles, western, team penning, polox and stock/halfbreed saddles are all available! As we run our business from our riding school we have no overheads and can offer much better prices. We can even come to you with a range of saddles to try! We will be out with a sample of our range at this spring's shows, so make sure you come and see us! Most saddles are available with the option of a Gentec tree. This is an adjustable tree, similar to the very expensive Schleese range in that it is adjusted with a key, rather than swapping out gullets. Please don't hesitate to contact me for prices, trade-in inquiries, etc. We may also be looking to sponsor a rider or two, and even a competition (SAEF I'm looking at you!!!) We have vouchers for a decent discount off one of our saddles, for example $400 off our top-range dressage saddles. Wouldn't that be a great prize????

Pics below are of our dressage and synthetics, but we do have HUGE range of colours and styles. Let me know what you're looking for!

Below is an example of the catalogue listing for our Leopold Dressage, available in Gentec (adjustable) tree or fixed tree sizes Narrow, Regular, Wide and Extra Wide.

LEOPOLD DRESSAGE available in Gentec and fixed tree
This is a saddle of choice for all levels of Dressage. The leather
is extremely soft and provides the attractive combination of
grip, while still allowing the rider to move freely with the
horse. With the help of the large soft knee roll, the rider will
feel secure always.
This elegant and sophisticated saddle features a deep seat
covered in the softest calfskin leather which makes it supple
from the first ride. Very deep seat and moulded knee pads
with integrated rolls for perfect fit.
Featuring a supportive seat for a perfect ride, close contact
and precise leg aid. This saddle is made on the modern
moulded soft foam panel system.
A true modern European designed saddle built using the
latest "soft panel calf hide panels" gives this a luxury feel and
appearance of saddles retailing at over twice the price of this
saddle.
Feel the quality of the leather and compare for yourself.
One review quotes "A deep supportive seat, softly moulded
padded flap and generous thigh blocks allowing the rider an
effortlessly correct position. Comes in Black or Brown."


And some other examples:

oops, forgot the synthetic GP, also available as dressage in black, brown or london tan

hmmm do like the look of that first Leopold....

What do you have in the way of black, leather jumping saddles?

If you would like to pm me your email address I can send you a catalogue. You are welcome to ride in a demo saddle to see what you think as well. Demos have adjustable trees to suit most horses

Pp I haven't sold any Leopolds yet, I'm dying for an excuse to order some! Let me know.

pm sent!

I have just been advised that this one is on its way to Australia, based on the Stubben biomex seat. Google it or ask me for more info. I was skeptical at first, but I've got to admit the research has me interested!
Gizmo, pics of jumping saddles will be up by this evening

For Gizmo - these two close contact models both come in black. I have some others on end-of-model runout but none of them are black

The first one is the basel deluxe, rrp $1750 fixed tree and $2150 genesis tree. I'm giving 10% off to SAEF members who buy before the end of July.


This one is the equilibre close contact, rrp $1650 fixed tree or $1950 genesis tree.

Thanks rivianna. The mare I was after a jumping saddle for is now out for at least the rest of the year did to that, and me breeding, I won't be in the market for a new saddle till at least next year now would certainly like to try them out when I'm back in the game though

Oh no, what happened to your mare? Let me know when you're back into it and I'll make sure you get a good deal!

seedy toe combined with an abcess so much of her hoof has been cut away that it isn't strong enough to support anything more than a walk

but i will do thanks
