Hickstead Dressage Saddle Monoflap

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
- 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.

Can I order a different leather colour or custom details?
Certainly.
