Contessa Jumping Saddle

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.

Questions, Answered

Can the saddle be fitted to my horse?
Yes.

Together with our exchange policy on standard specifications, you can be entirely certain before the saddle stays.
