Rotterdam Jumping Saddle Monoflap

OLVENIQ Saddlery — handcrafted in the European Union

The Rotterdam is a close-contact saddle in the classical sense: minimal bulk, maximal feel, and craftsmanship that survives water combinations and airport handlers alike.

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

• Dual-density latex-and-wool panel absorbing landing forces
• Hand-stitched in our European atelier — eight stitches to the inch in waxed linen thread
• Stainless-steel stirrup bars, recessed and hand-polished
• Signature old-gold nameplate, individually numbered
• Each hide vegetable-tanned for six weeks by a single family tannery
• Anatomic cutaway at the shoulder freeing the scapula at maximum bascule

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.
