Meridian Close Contact Jumping Saddle

OLVENIQ Saddlery — handcrafted in the European Union
Built for riders who walk distances twice, the Meridian offers instant leg position, a shallow secure seat and leather that grips exactly as much as you need at the moment you need it.
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
- Delivered in a cotton dust bag inside our deep-green saddle trunk carton
- Reinforced knee pads hidden beneath the flap for five-star durability
- Dual-density latex-and-wool panel absorbing landing forces
- Shallow, close seat allowing effortless transition between phases of the jump
- Anatomic cutaway at the shoulder freeing the scapula at maximum bascule
- V-system billets in English bridle butt for an even, stable girthing line
- Forward-cut flap with calf-leather blocks positioning the leg instantly over fences

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".
