OLVENIQ Saddlery — handcrafted in the European Union
Some saddles hold the rider; the Hickstead listens to them. Cut long and clean in Tuscan calf, flocked by hand, balanced on the bench — it is dressage equipment at its most distilled.
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.
Design & Craftsmanship
- Wool-flocked panels shaped on the bench, allowing millimetre-precise fitting and future adjustment
- Ultra-narrow twist seating the rider directly over the horse's centre of motion
- Extended panel gusset distributing weight across the full saddle-support area
- Signature old-gold nameplate, individually numbered
- Long, straight flap with a discreet knee roll supporting a quiet, elongated leg
- Adjustable spring-steel tree, fitted and guaranteed for ten years
- Stainless-steel stirrup bars, recessed and hand-polished

Care
Wipe dust and sweat after each use with a barely damp cloth, then feed the leather monthly with the OLVENIQ Leather Balsam. Keep away from direct heat, allow wet leather to dry naturally, and store on a shaped rack or padded hook. Treated with respect, this piece will serve for decades and acquire a patina unique to your stable.
Questions, Answered
Can I order a different leather colour or custom details?
Certainly. Alternative leathers, stitching colours, welting and monogramming are available through our bespoke programme at no change to the lead time in most cases.
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.
