Description
The Acavallo Perugino Dressage Saddle with Short Knee Blocks combines an adjustable fit with a deep, supportive seat and greater freedom of movement for the rider. Featuring Acavallo’s innovative MAG adjustable saddle system, the Perugino allows the width of the saddle tree at the withers to be adjusted to better suit the individual horse’s shape.
A variation of the Acavallo Leonardo Dressage Saddle, the Perugino is part of the innovative Acavallo range and features a distinctive tilted cantle, designed to give the rider increased 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 twist. Its narrow design helps the rider achieve a natural, effective leg 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 and build 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.
Short Knee Blocks for Greater Freedom
The short knee blocks provide support without excessively restricting the rider’s knee, making them ideal for riders who prefer greater freedom through the leg. Combined with the deep seat and narrow twist, they help create a secure yet less restrictive riding position.
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 also allows the saddle to 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 that combines innovative fitting technology with a deep seat, short knee blocks and close-contact panels, the Acavallo Perugino offers a highly adaptable option for both horse and rider.
