The TRIBUTE

The Tribute.

The Tribute is one of our most popular designs, and was the first saddle we created in a flapless version, starting in 2017. The deep seat creates a feeling of security, but is carefully shaped to ensure that the rider is plugged in, not locked in. A favorite of riders from casual and classical through the International Grand Prix ring, this saddle is truly versatile. The seat can be custom shaped to offer the rider a wide, medium, or narrowed twist to support optimal thigh comfort and angle.

We know how very hard it is to become accomplished dressage riders, and how many must help us along the way. In creating this saddle, we pay tribute to all the horses, trainers, coaches and mentors who have made us into the riders we are today.

What riders say:

Jessica Michel, California: “The only saddle I have ever put on a horse and seen a true, immediate, and quantifiable difference with the way my horse moved and behaved while ridden.”

Jennifer Vida, Michigan: “Gerald and I are coming up on 3 months with our Tribute. We both love the saddle. For him it solves the big shoulder issue on a big mover. For me it provides the secure feel I need as well as a better balanced seat. I could feel the difference in the seat right away. The seat provides a great deal more stability than a conventional wool flocked saddle.”

Debbie Gordon, Louisiana: "Lantonio was stuck at 2nd level because he'd get tense and speed up in sitting trot work. It was clear that he was running away from my seat, because he'd be great for rising trot. I thought he was just having issues with the work - he's just seven, and the work is getting harder. Then I got the Tribute flapless saddle, and I can sit again, finally! It's made a huge difference, and we're getting ready to show 3rd level now.  It's wonderful to be over this road block and progressing again, because Lantonio is my boy! I got my USDF gold medal on his mother, Ricotta, and I bred him and raised him from a baby."

Kelly Jason, Massachusetts: “I am thrilled to have purchased a Tribute flapless saddle. My horse and I both love it. She is going beautifully and is very happy. She was a tough horse to fit, but no problem with this saddle! And the staff is nothing short of awesome to deal with! I highly recommend these saddles. “
