In dressage competion you must ride in a dressage style saddle. Dressage competition rules and procedures detail what tack your horse may wear when you are riding in an official competition test and also in the warm up area. Be aware, if you do not abide by these rules you could face the worst scenario, ELIMINATION!
The rules include general purpose saddle and do not exclude jumping type saddles. You cannot ride a dressage test in a stock saddle, a western saddle, a military saddle or a racing pad.
An english style dressage saddle has straight cut flaps, a deep seat, large flat panels, knee rolls and long girth points.
The deep seat will encourage the rider to sit down into the saddle with a more secure seat. The positioning of the knee rolls and the straight cut flaps encourage the rider to attain the long staighter looking leg position.
The longer girth points used with a shorter girth means that the girth buckles sit lower down on the horse’s side, this will allow the rider to have more contact or a closer contact with the horse’s sides.
The larger flat panels will distribute the riders weight evenly over the area of the horse’s back.
Both leather and synthetic saddles can be used, colour is not an issue although black is the traditional colour for dressage.
You can use any type of girth that is comfortable for your horse.
Most riders use a two bar stirrup with a rubber tread to secure their riding boot, stops the boot from slipping. There are no restrictions on what type of stirrup you use.
