OLVENIQ Saddlery — handcrafted in the European Union
Developed with Grand Prix riders over three seasons, the Ultima pairs a close, quiet seat with the structural calm of a hand-fitted tree — a dressage saddle for riders who measure success in half-halts nobody saw.
The leather is selected hide by hide from a single family-run tannery in Tuscany, vegetable-tanned over six weeks and finished by hand until it develops the deep, quiet lustre that no accelerated process can imitate. Our saddlers cut every panel along the natural grain, so the piece breaks in gracefully and grows more beautiful with each season of use.
Design & Craftsmanship
- Hand-stitched in our European atelier — eight stitches to the inch in waxed linen thread
- Long, straight flap with a discreet knee roll supporting a quiet, elongated leg
- Each hide vegetable-tanned for six weeks by a single family tannery
- Ultra-narrow twist seating the rider directly over the horse's centre of motion
- Wool-flocked panels shaped on the bench, allowing millimetre-precise fitting and future adjustment
- Cut-back head plate giving generous wither freedom for uphill movers
- 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. 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.
Can I order a different leather colour or custom details?
Certainly. Alternative leathers, stitching colours, welting and monogramming are available through our bespoke programme at no change to the lead time in most cases.
