Geplaatst Hoe rijden ze, hoe is de kwaliteit, vinden jullie het de prijs waard? (prijsklasse E1500 tot E1800 ongeveer)
Vooral de Omni Dressage spreekt mij erg aan, lijkt me een fijn zadel hoewel ik wel benieuwd ben hoe opgesloten je zit ivm de wrong.
Graag jullie ervaringen/meningen
Hier enkel voorbeelden:

Omni Dressage (Standard High Head) - Our most popular Dressage Saddle
Master Dressage, not by conquering, by becoming it.
We feel we have successfully designed a high performance saddle that not only offers the rider a secure, stable and balanced feel but still allows the rider and horse to communicate in harmony which is essential at the highest level in dressage.
A Large moulded blocked flap, together with a generous knee block enables the rider to have superior close contact feel in the leg and still allow full support, and an adjustable V girthing system eliminates movement. With our own design of Stirrup Bar that reduces bulk under the riders leg and allows easy access for fitting of the stirrup leathers, to use this bar to its full potential we recommend using the TBar Dressage Stirrup Leathers.
The Tree has a deep open seat and has been designed specifically to distribute the rider’s weight evenly. Designed with a deep centre to put you in the correct position at all times and precision engineered for accuracy while still allowing the close contact feel. Giving you the rider an accurate and secure riding position. The Standard model is made using a high head tree.
A second version is available For riders who prefer a lower head please see Omni Dressage (Low Head).
A selection of options are available to allow the saddle to be custom built as well as a large selection tree sizes available for the horse, the option of with or without front gussets is also available.
The Elegance is the ultimate choice of Dressage Saddle and has been developed to maximize the comfort for the horse, while assisting the rider to achieve perfect balance, close contact and harmony. The Elegance Dressage offers all the key features needed to compete at world class level.
Based on a specially designed tree, the Elegance gives good clearance of the withers and is open to allow free movement of the shoulder and spine. This together with the new special panel system enables the rider to have excellant close contact with the horse.
A narrow waist and carefully angled tree, combined with an extra soft deep seat and extended stirrup bars places the rider in an upright position and allows balanced seat pressure to drive the horse and enable the rider to have the finest control.
The Frank Baines custom manufacturing facility gives the rider the option to alter the balance points from forward to centre, while a V girthing arrangement minimizes movement. Optional sizes of knee blocks and a choice of three different flap lengths to suit varying leg lenghts allows the rider to select a saddle that best fits them aswell as the horse.
The elegantly designed and styled Capriole Dressage Saddle by Frank Baines is an exceptionally comfortable saddle, made from the worlds finest materials. Oiled full grain solid leathers for the flaps and skirts and a new soft, natural Aniline hide for the seat and pads.
The position of the knee block ensures a close and flatter position to support the upper leg aided by long girth straps which are secured in a 'V formation to help minimize any movement. A wide, softly padded seat provides comfort and excellent balanced support for the rider and a specially designed new panel system allows a closer contact feel. In addition the option of the Standard or longer flap length allows the rider to select a saddle to their individual requirements allowing comfort and fit for both horse and rider.
The specially designed spring tree made from re-enforced laminated Birch, with extended stirrup bars is made with a lower cantle for those riders who prefer a flatter seat, assisting the rider to achieve the perfect balance and harmony which is the Art of Dressage.
