 Zaldi Dressage Saddles

Zaldi's master saddle makers have been manufacturing saddles for more than 100 years. Specialist craftsmen have been recruited and trained in the best traditional methods while incorporating modern materials and technology. 

​

The saddle tree has been technically developed in conjunction with scientific research by the Foundation for the Investigation and Development in Transport and Energy. Champion riders from every discipline also had input in the development of these saddles.  As a result, each saddle tree type is designed specifically for each equestrian discipline. In addition, there are varying designs for shape, weight distribution, seat depths, widths, lengths as well as materials. 

TrekHorse USA has nine Zaldi dressage saddles to offer their customers. These are all custom handmade saddles from Spain. They are, of course, made from the finest European leathers. Zaldi saddle tree has a 10 year guarantee in normal conditions. Options available are the tree, stirrup bar, seat, flaps, panels, knee rolls, girth straps and leather color.  Due to Covid, the delivery time may increase. 

​

We now have the Drim Atlanta and the Kira Klass available for demo rides.

One of the newest saddle offerings from Zaldi is the Drim Atlanta. Zaldi has incorporated leading technological developments together with the most advanced veterinary and medical research to launch a new line of customized saddles. 

​

The Atlanta is manufactured with exchangeable gullets, has a deep seat for dressage made from polypropylene EPDM. The saddletree is guaranteed for 10 years. The new dual density anatomical tree for horse and rider allows for many features of rigidity, deformation and absorption of energy in the different areas it is needed. The new tree has the ability to adjust completely to the back of the horse and expands and spreads the rider's weight to avoid pressure points.  It has also been optimized in design for rider comfort as it is elastic and absorbs shock, allowing for free passage of the horse's energy. This saddle is ergonomically designed and is available in different seats for a man or a woman. The saddle comes with a 5-multi-position stirrup bar.
