Contessa Jumping Saddle
Made to order — atelier lead time appliesTax included where applicable. Insured delivery arranged by your concierge.
OLVENIQ Saddlery — handcrafted in the European Union
The Contessa was drawn around a single image: the rider folded quietly over a 1.50 m oxer, saddle invisible beneath them. Forward-cut, close and fast, it is jumping equipment reduced to what matters in the air.
Cut, skived, stitched and edge-painted entirely by hand in our European atelier, this piece uses saddlery techniques measured in hours, not minutes: eight stitches to the inch, linen thread drawn through beeswax, edges sealed and polished until they feel like glass.
Design & Craftsmanship
- Shallow, close seat allowing effortless transition between phases of the jump
- Seamless deep seat construction with no pressure ridges under the rider
- Full-grain Tuscan calfskin seat and flaps with English bridle-leather skirts
- Stainless-steel stirrup bars, recessed and hand-polished
- Hand-stitched in our European atelier — eight stitches to the inch in waxed linen thread
- Each hide vegetable-tanned for six weeks by a single family tannery
- Reinforced knee pads hidden beneath the flap for five-star durability

Care
Clean with a glycerine saddle soap as needed and condition sparingly — quality leather prefers little and often. Avoid oils in excess, which soften structure. We offer a full refurbishment service: stitching, flocking and finish can be renewed at our atelier at any point in the piece's life.
Questions, Answered
Can the saddle be fitted to my horse?
Yes. Every purchase includes a consultation with an OLVENIQ master saddle fitter, and the wool-flocked panels and adjustable tree allow precise fitting to your horse's current shape — with re-fitting available as the horse develops.
Is a trial period offered?
We arrange a professional fitting appointment with test rides. Together with our exchange policy on standard specifications, you can be entirely certain before the saddle stays.

Every OLVENIQ piece is covered by our house guarantee, dispatched with insured white-glove delivery across the European Union, and supported by a dedicated concierge who remains at your service long after the purchase. We believe the finest equestrian equipment deserves the finest aftercare.
