OLVENIQ Saddlery — handcrafted in the European Union
Some saddles hold the rider; the Madrigal 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.
We work exclusively with full-grain European calfskin and English bridle butts, tanned slowly with oak and mimosa bark. Each hide is rested, stuffed with tallow and waxes, then burnished by hand — a rhythm of work unchanged for a century, and the reason OLVENIQ leather ages into character rather than wear.
Design & Craftsmanship
- Grippy full-grain seat finish that stabilises the seat without restricting the pelvis
- V-system billets in English bridle butt for an even, stable girthing line
- Wool-flocked panels shaped on the bench, allowing millimetre-precise fitting and future adjustment
- Hand-stitched in our European atelier — eight stitches to the inch in waxed linen thread
- 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
- Each hide vegetable-tanned for six weeks by a single family tannery

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
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".
