Pds Delicato Monoflap Dressage Saddle Brown

PDS Delicato Monoflap Dressage Saddle Brown

The PDS Delicato is a beautiful addition to the PDS Carl Hester Collection. Because it doesn't have a front gusset, the saddle brings the rider's lower leg closer to the horse. The saddle is made for people with narrow hips without taking away from the horse's comfort. As with all of the saddles in the PDS Carl Hester Collection, the soft panelling brings the rider and horse very close together and absorbs the horse's movement. The X-Change System Series I is made to fit a variety of horses, and AMS is made to keep horses comfortable.

"Delicato himself has a very wide rib cage, so it was hard for me to feel like I could sit comfortably on him because I'm quire narrow. This saddle brought me closer to the horse right away, which is a very important thing.
Carl Hester, OBE.

What's different about it?
The main difference between the PDS Delicato and the PDS Valegro is the shape of the cantle. The shape of the cantle has been changed to be more round. The saddle has also been made to fit a horse with a wider shape.

How does X-Change System work?
The rider can change the width of the tree in 6 easy steps with just a screwdriver and one of the adjustable gullet plates. It really is that easy! This system doesn't change how the saddle works or how it looks. Both the feel and the strength are the same. The tree can fit the withers and back of any horse perfectly. You can change the size of the tree from Narrow to Extra Extra Wide.

Why AMS?
The AMS System has a special neoprene layer that supports the rider's weight on the back of the horse with a soft, even layer. This layer absorbs shock and spreads pressure evenly, so your horse is comfortable and can move well. You can re-flock and fit a saddle with AMS panels to your horse just like a traditional wool-flocked saddle. With the AMS System, the way the weight is spread out meets the physiological needs of the horse athlete.
