17 inch Arena Cob Dressage Black Adjustable

Saddles are permitted on a 5-day USA mainland trial. Simply add the saddle to your basket and proceed to check out. The trial starts on the day you receive the saddle.

Full payment for the saddle is taken at the point of checkout. If the saddle fits, great! No further action is required.

Is your fitter not coming until next week? No problem!

Select your estimated delivery date at checkout. Please note we recommend having the saddle delivered 2 working days before your saddle fitting appointment in case of any unexpected delays with the courier.

Sadly, we cannot offer a trial outside of Mainland USA. However, most of our international clients still find it cheaper to import a quality saddle from The Saddle Bank UK than to source one in their own country.

Typically fits:

This saddle typically works on horses with a low back profile and low withers.
The flatter tree follows the low-backed profile, and the low-profile slim panel gives a close contact feel to eliminate the feeling of the saddle being perched.
It also features movable girth straps, which can help achieve a better fit.
This saddle features CAIR Panels, which means your fitter can use Easy Change Risers to get the best fit for your horse.
It also features an adjustable gullet tree. Therefore, the width can easily be altered by swapping out the gullet bars.

Please note the below features of this model are as standard from new.
Please check the photos and condition details to see if there are any differences shown such as missing knee blocks for example.

Arena Cob Dressage Finding a beautiful saddle to suit your cob dressage horse has never been easier. Designed with this special conformation* in mind, the Arena Cob Dressage saddle will help you and your horse to move together in harmony. In training and competition, you will feel close through your seat and leg for delivery of your aids. Ride with confidence as adjustable features ensure your horse is as comfortable as you are and free to move.

Arena is a fantastic brand, competitively priced, and offers a good range of models with the option to adjust the width and panel fit through the use of the Easy Change Risers. The Arena Cob Dressage is designed to suit lower-withered, broader-backed horses. Overall the Arena Cob Dressage saddle is one of the best cob-specific dressage saddles available on the market and works particularly well on those with a very slight curve in the back. If your horse is very flat backed, we would recommend looking at the Bates or Wintec WIDE dressage models instead.
