Elegia Grand Prix Dressage 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 Elegia is our answer to a simple question: what does a dressage saddle feel like when nothing is allowed to distract the seat? Built around an ultra-narrow twist and a panel shaped for uphill movement, it places the rider motionless at the centre of the horse.
Only the tightest, cleanest sections of each hide meet our standard; the rest is set aside. What remains is leather with a dense, silky hand that holds its shape in work yet softens beautifully to the touch — the signature of slow European tanning and patient handwork.

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
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.
How do I know my seat size?
Your fitter will confirm it, but as guidance: most riders take 17" or 17.5"; longer thigh or a preference for a roomier seat suggests 18".
