Cavaletti saddles are known for offering excellent value, practical design, and rider comfort, making them a popular choice for everyday riders who still want quality and reliability. 💙
When choosing or fitting a Cavaletti saddle, there are several important features that make them suitable for a wide variety of horses.
Adjustable Gullet System 🔧
Many Cavaletti models feature an interchangeable gullet system.
This allows the saddle width to be altered, helping to maintain a correct fit as your horse changes shape over time.
This can be especially useful for:
🐴 Young or developing horses
⚖️ Horses gaining or losing condition
🔄 Horses that change shape seasonally
📈 Riders looking for flexibility without replacing their saddle
Having an adjustable gullet makes Cavaletti saddles a versatile and practical choice.
Wool Flocked Panels – Adjustable Fit 🐑
Cavaletti saddles feature wool flocked panels, allowing for ongoing adjustment by a qualified saddle fitter.
✨ Wool flocking can be customised to improve balance, comfort, and pressure distribution.
Benefits include:
