Lipizza Bespoke Saddle — Atelier Edition
Made to order — atelier lead time appliesTax included where applicable. Insured delivery arranged by your concierge.
OLVENIQ Saddlery — handcrafted in the European Union
Four visits, three fittings, one saddle. The Lipizza is our full bespoke programme — rare leathers, a hand-sewn seat and a build record signed by the craftsman who made it.
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
- Wool-flocked panels shaped on the bench, allowing millimetre-precise fitting and future adjustment
- Personal fitting sessions at your yard before, during and after the build
- Entirely bespoke: tree, panels, flap length and blocks built to your horse's plaster-accurate template
- Adjustable spring-steel tree, fitted and guaranteed for ten years
- Delivered personally by the saddler who built it, with a signed build record
- Signature old-gold nameplate, individually numbered
- Full-grain Tuscan calfskin seat and flaps with English bridle-leather skirts

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
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".
What is the delivery time?
Each saddle is made to order in our European atelier. Standard lead time is 6–8 weeks; a priority service is available on request through your concierge.
The OLVENIQ Promise
OLVENIQ ownership is a long acquaintance, not a transaction: insured delivery across the EU, an extended warranty, and priority access to our fitting, refurbishment and maintenance services for the life of the piece.
