Concept OMEGA
confection saddles

With our OMEGA® confection saddles we would like to offer you popular models of horse saddles in good quality at an attractive price-performance ratio. The saddles or models in this line are made for different branches of equestrian sport and differ in their specialisation. Our different saddle models are suitable for lovers of dressage, working equitation, show jumping and for ambitious leisure riding.

The models Dressage Saddle Piaffe, Jumping Saddle Bascoule, Working Equitation Saddle El Torro and the model Kenzie Dysli are defined in terms of their characteristics of each model. Their characteristics are based on the specific needs of the rider in different branches of equestrian sport.

• For example, our dressage saddle Piaffe is characterised by a deep seat with a narrow seat waist and a variable Velcro knee-roll. This seat feeling combined with a simple and noble look makes it the right saddle for all lovers of classical dressage.
• Our Bascoule jumping saddle is characterised by a flat seat with an advanced knee roll. Together with the non-slip leather, this model gives the rider a secure feeling in the light seat and over the jump.
• Our Working Equitation saddle El Torro was created out of the desire to design a classic saddle with a focus on working equitation. The deep wide cantle together with the mounted block knee-roll offers the rider maximum support and contact with the horse even in dynamic moments. At the same time, the classic look is more reminiscent of a dressage saddle than a Spanish saddle, working saddle or robust vaquero saddle.
• The Kenzie Dysli model combines two worlds of dressage and freedom. The basis is the seat feeling of a classic dressage saddle with a deep and narrow seat. The knee-roll with Velcro option, specially designed for Kenzie, frames the leg particularly gently. This gives the rider the freedom to change his or her sitting position and aids and to adapt to the horse in every movement.

How do I try on and buy the model? Which saddle is the right one for me as a rider and the best for my horse? During a saddle fitting, we have the different models of the ready-made line for you to try out. This allows you as a rider to ride different saddles on your horse in motion and test them in practice.

When measuring the horse's back, we can assess whether an off-the-peg saddle offers a good fit and sufficient possibilities for saddle adjustment for your horse. If a ready-made saddle does not fit, if the saddle position of your horse has special features, if there is a special problem or if you as a rider have individual wishes regarding the seat and design of your saddle, we recommend our OMEGA® custom-made saddles.

Our OMEGA® confection saddles have an anatomically shaped plastic saddle tree at their heart. This can be flexibly adapted to the horse by means of an adjustable or exchangeable gullet plate. The dimensions of the gullet width can be changed and adapted to the horse as often as desired.

The saddle panels are particularly wide, similar to the contact surface of our OMEGA® confection saddles, in order to provide the horse with a large contact surface and thus even pressure distribution. So that the entire panel forms a load-bearing surface, so-called pressure distribution aids have been built into the upper side. These help to distribute the pressure over the entire width of the pad, especially in the rear area. The soft and comfortable padding of the cushions is made of saddle wool. The shape of the panels and the contact surface can be adapted to your horse at any time by us or a trusted saddler.

The design of this saddle range is deliberately kept classic and elegant. We only use high quality leather in the colours black and dark brown. Our confection saddles are available in different seat sizes for the rider.

Whether bareback pad, riding pad, treeless saddle, English saddle, western saddle or OMEGA® saddle. A suitable riding saddle for the horse is the prerequisite for a healthy horse that shows pleasure in movement under the rider. With regard to the correct fit of a good saddle, the following characteristics should be fulfilled:

• Even distribution of pressure on the horse's back.
• panels lie parallel to the horse's back from front to back
• The saddle tree fits the swing of the horse's back
• Seat size and saddle length suitable for horse/pony and rider
• The saddle is sufficiently high at the front above the withers.
• Sufficient space is particularly important with high withers.
• The centre of gravity of the riding saddle and the seat is in the middle
• The saddle panels offer sufficient spine clearance
• The gullet width can be adjusted to the horse's measurements.
• The riding saddle offers sufficient shoulder freedom

If your horse has changed, if the feeling when riding in the saddle has changed or if the riding saddle no longer fits as well as it did at the beginning, it makes sense to check the fit and adjust the saddle. The wool in the saddle panels thickens over time, so regular padding ensures the optimum fit of the saddle. In addition to filling the saddle panels, it makes sense to regularly check the width of the chambers and adjust the angulation if necessary. Our mobile saddle service is available for consultations and saddle checks at any time.

To find the right riding saddle, we recommend that you look for a saddle model that suits your riding style. For jumping you need a special jumping saddle or eventing saddle, for dressage a dressage saddle with a defined seat profile and for working equitation a versatile saddle that offers a secure seat in dynamic manoeuvres. Before buying, ride your favourite saddle on your own horse to test the feeling of the seat in movement on your horse. Ask yourself the following questions:

• Do I feel comfortable in the saddle at the first moment?
• Is the seat comfortable and does it offer good support?
• Can I get the seat in the right size?
• Do I like the depth and width of the seat?
• Are the pommels comfortable on my leg?
• Is my leg resting comfortably on the horse's belly and do I have a good grip in the stirrup?
• Does my horse walk relaxed and make a happy impression?

Benefit from a saddle set of a confection saddle with the matching accessories of girth, saddle cloth, stirrup leathers and stirrups. The matching accessories support the optimal fit of the saddle. We recommend an anatomically cut leather short girth, lambskin girth or cord girth. Mono stirrup leathers with solid stirrup leathers provide maximum contact with the horse and a secure fit. For saddle pads we recommend quilted saddle cloths made of breathable cotton. For particularly sensitive horses, saddle cloths or saddle blankets with lambskin underside have proven their worth. You can get the matching accessories together with the saddle or purchase them online in our shop at any time.

We recommend that you pay attention to the following points when buying a saddle, regardless of brand or model:

• There is an on-site service for a non-binding saddle fitting - so you can try out different saddles.
• The saddles you can choose from can be extensively adapted and modified.
• A local expert will advise you and fit the saddle to your horse.
• The saddles on offer are of high quality and good leather
• You have a wide choice of sizes and models
• You can get matching saddle accessories for your saddle. These include: a girth, stirrups, stirrup leathers and a matching saddle cloth.
• There is a mobile saddle service for adjustments so that your saddle can be checked for fit and adjusted to your horse again and again over time
