Pro-Trainer Platinum Zurich Dressage Saddle $1491.95 If you have Dom Perignon taste, the Pro-Trainer Platinum Zurich is for you! Thornhill took a great classical European design to their German Master Saddler and the end result is a best seller that will remain as desirable as your favorite bubbly for years to come. Here are a few comments from Professionals already riding and recommending the Zurich: Zurichs perfectly balanced tree encourages riders to sit into the seat without gripping or pinching. The slightly forward flap position and soft padding allows the rider to select the best knee angle for their build. Zurichs close contact design and narrower twist allows the leg to fall away from the pelvis and drape the horse. Panels: wool stuffed. Tree: spring tree with 10 year warranty. Girthing: point and V billets for balanced girthing. |
