Our Zen Thigh Block provides maximum security, with a slightly curved surface, and soft padding at the rear of the block to nestle the rider’s thigh. Named after Grand Prix horse “Zenzero” who inspired the design, this is the newest addition to the EQ line, and is also available a a shorter (7.5” high) block.

Like all EQ thigh blocks, the Zen Blocks come three ways:

• Velcro-on block, for maximum flexibility for repositioning the block. Note: this option is easy to move, and may be dislodged from the saddle under certain conditions. This version of the thigh block must be used with a saddle that has a loop velcro surface to accept the block.

• Embedded block, where the block is built into a leather cover that goes over the entire velcro surface on the saddle; this option also velcros onto the saddle, so it can be replaced or updated in the future, and is extremely secure.

• Custom Embedded Blocks are available in a standard or custom block setting; in the custom version, the rider chooses the position, height, and angle of the block. Contact us for ordering details.

When purchasing or ordering a saddle, blocks can also be ordered sewn into place for riders who are unlikely to want to reposition their thigh blocks in the future. Sewn in blocks can be ordered in a standard or custom position.

Blocks are shown in black calf leather. They can be ordered in a variety of colors and textures, including in two-tone designs.
