Engineered to maximize true harmony between horse and rider, the Fairfax World Class I Dressage Saddle represents a breakthrough in performance-driven saddle design. Widely acclaimed by riders and scientists alike, this saddle has redefined balance, allowing riders to feel genuinely at one with their horse.

The Fairfax saddles are the only saddles in the world to undergo comprehensive scientific testing using pressure mapping beneath both the saddle and the rider, combined with simultaneous two-dimensional and three-dimensional analysis of horse and rider in motion. This advanced research confirms measurable improvements in rider symmetry, balance, and effectiveness.

The innovative block design incorporates a shock-absorbing element that accommodates the natural forward movement of the knee, delivering optimal support without restriction. Paired with the carefully engineered seat and block configuration, the rider’s pelvis is proven to remain neutral for longer throughout each stride, enhancing stability and communication.

Equally important, independent studies demonstrate that horses move more freely under saddle thanks to the patented Fairfax Performance Panel and the rider’s improved position. Adjustable shoulder blocks allow riders to fine-tune leg support and can be customized to help riders sit squarely on horses with asymmetrical shoulders.

Finished in luxurious, super-grippy calfskin leather, the Fairfax World Class I Dressage Saddle delivers uncompromising comfort, precision, and performance at the highest level of dressage.

Please note that saddle shipping begins at $65, but is subject to change depending on location, insurance & number of saddles.

Key Features
  • Handmade in Walsall, England by highly skilled Master Saddlers.
  • Wool-flocked panels are lined with a layer of Prolite® for proven pressure distribution, while still allowing for traditional re-flocking on site.
  • British wool provides superior softness and comfort for the horse. Each saddle has two flocking slots which make it easy to make quick fitting adjustments on site
  • Changeable gullet bars allow the saddle fitter to choose the width fitting that best suits the profile of the horse’s withers. The bars can be changed quickly and easily as the horse develops or changes shape.
  • Three billet configuration allows options to optimize saddle stability.
  • Patented Fairfax Performance Panel which is scientifically proven to increase limb extension, joint flexion and gait symmetry.
  • Three thicknesses of changeable shoulder blocks allow the rider to sit squarely while the horse is free to move underneath.
  • Changeable Gullet: R-Bar  N/M to XW/XXW
