Rhapsody Jumping Saddle Monoflap
Made to order — atelier lead time appliesTax included where applicable. Insured delivery arranged by your concierge.
OLVENIQ Saddlery — handcrafted in the European Union
The Rhapsody was drawn around a single image: the rider folded quietly over a 1.50 m oxer, saddle invisible beneath them. Forward-cut, close and fast, it is jumping equipment reduced to what matters in the air.
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
- Adjustable spring-steel tree, fitted and guaranteed for ten years
- Shallow, close seat allowing effortless transition between phases of the jump
- Each hide vegetable-tanned for six weeks by a single family tannery
- Hand-stitched in our European atelier — eight stitches to the inch in waxed linen thread
- Delivered in a cotton dust bag inside our deep-green saddle trunk carton
- Covered calf-leather blocks, repositionable via concealed hook-and-loop plates
- Edges skived, folded and edge-painted by hand — no raw cuts anywhere on the saddle

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.
