This beautiful dressage saddle, with its flat padded panels, is based on the design concept of our ‘Goteborg’ and ‘Lexington’ saddles, both developed for horses with a well-muscled topline or a wider back with a comparatively short contact area. The fine, double leather is slightly padded providing a high level of comfort. A generous, anatomically shaped, soft knee roll provides optimal support helping riders gain the required position in the saddle, for performance in both event and training situations. Suitable for both dressage and Working Equitation purposes.

Trial Saddle Info
At NZ Tack Saddlery Co, we know finding the perfect saddle is essential for both horse and rider.
While some brands offer a Trial Saddle Service, unfortunately we are unable to trail Kieffer saddles, therefore it is important you are sure this saddle is right for you and your horse as we cannot provide a refund on saddles once they have been sent to you
Important Notes
-
Once the new saddle has been sent to you it is considered a final sale and is non-returnable.

FAQ
All your questions, answered.
The thermoneutral zone is the temperature range where the body can maintain its core temperature with little to no extra energy expenditure. For humans, this range is quite narrow at 21–28 °C, but for horses it’s much broader at 5–25 °C.
This difference means we should avoid rugging horses based on how cold we feel. Over-rugging can lead to serious health issues, including metabolic problems and thermoregulatory dysfunction.
Tips for Choosing a Winter Rug Weight
-
Clipped horses may need a heavier gram fill to stay comfortable.
-
Remember: horses warm themselves more easily than they cool down under a rug. If unsure, choose a lighter rug.
-
Check your horse regularly to make sure they are neither too hot nor too cold.
-
Consider your horse’s age and natural ability to stay warm.
-
As a general guide, rugging is usually appropriate when temperatures drop below 5–10 °C, but always adjust for your horse’s individual needs.
-
Always ensure rugs are waterproof. A wet rug is worse than no rug at all.
This is an indicative guide only. Always take into account factors such as wind chill, your horse’s age, weight, and condition.
