Serafina Dressage Saddle

OLVENIQ Saddlery — handcrafted in the European Union

The Serafina is our answer to a simple question: what does a dressage saddle feel like when nothing is allowed to distract the seat? Built around an ultra-narrow twist and a panel shaped for uphill movement, it places the rider motionless at the centre of the horse.

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
• Ultra-narrow twist seating the rider directly over the horse's centre of motion
• Signature old-gold nameplate, individually numbered
• Full-grain Tuscan calfskin seat and flaps with English bridle-leather skirts
• Extended panel gusset distributing weight across the full saddle-support area
• Each hide vegetable-tanned for six weeks by a single family tannery
• V-system billets in English bridle butt for an even, stable girthing line

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.
