Description
The Acavallo Mantegna Dressage Saddle with Long Knee Blocks combines an adjustable fit with a deep, supportive seat and enhanced leg stability for the dressage rider. Featuring Acavallo’s innovative MAG adjustable saddle system, the Mantegna allows the width of the saddle tree at the withers to be adjusted to better suit the individual shape and build of your horse.
A variation of the Acavallo Raffaello Dressage Saddle, the Mantegna is part of the innovative Acavallo range and features a distinctive tilted cantle. This design gives the rider greater freedom of movement while maintaining the secure, balanced feel expected from quality dressage saddles.
Particular attention has been given to the development of the tree and narrow twist, helping the rider achieve a natural, effective position while remaining comfortable and connected with the horse. The particularly deep seat provides additional stability and support, complemented by a protective rubber profile around the cantle.
MAG Adjustable Saddle System
The Acavallo MAG System is an innovative adjustable saddle tree system designed to make it easier to adapt the saddle at the withers to suit the individual shape of your horse. A toothed adjustment mechanism is integrated directly into the tree, allowing the width to be altered using the supplied MAG adjustment key.
Unlike saddles that rely on interchangeable gullet plates, the MAG System allows the tree opening to be adjusted through its integrated mechanism. This gives riders greater flexibility when fitting the saddle and can be particularly useful for horses whose shape changes through training, conditioning or development.
Every Acavallo saddle fitted with the MAG System is supplied with the appropriate adjustment Allen key, allowing adjustments to be made when required. Correct saddle fit should always be assessed carefully, and professional saddle-fitting advice is recommended where appropriate.
Long Knee Blocks for Enhanced Leg Stability
The long knee blocks are designed to provide increased support and stability for the rider’s leg, encouraging a secure and consistent position in the saddle. Combined with the deep seat and narrow twist, they create a supportive feel particularly suited to dressage riders who prefer greater stability through the thigh and knee.
Large latex panels promote close contact with the horse while helping to distribute the rider’s weight evenly across the back. The panels are covered with leather and felt before being padded with latex, providing effective cushioning while retaining their shape and thickness over time. The close-contact panel design can also be comfortably paired with suitable dressage saddlecloths.
Natural, hypoallergenic materials are used throughout the saddle, selected for their ability to adapt to the demands and stresses of regular work.
For riders looking for an adjustable dressage saddle with long knee blocks, the Acavallo Mantegna combines innovative fitting technology with a deep seat, supportive leg position and close-contact feel, creating an adaptable saddle designed with both horse and rider in mind.
