Are you an equestrian in New Zealand seeking a saddle that combines timeless craftsmanship with cutting-edge adjustability? At Auckland Saddle Fit, we proudly present the Ideal Technical & Traditional (T&T) range — a revolutionary collection designed for optimal comfort and performance across all disciplines.
The Best of Both Worlds: Technical Innovation Meets Traditional Craftsmanship
The Ideal T&T saddle range blends two crucial elements:
The "Technical" Edge: Adjustability That Keeps Up with Your Horse
Horses change shape over time due to training, age, or seasonal variations. The T&T range’s EGP (Ergonomic Gullet Plate) System allows a qualified saddle fitter to quickly adjust the tree width — from Medium Narrow to Extra Wide — maintaining a perfect fit for years. Durable, flexible synthetic composite trees work seamlessly with this system, providing a strong foundation that adapts to your horse’s changing shape.
The "Traditional" Heart: Quality & Heritage You Can Trust
Handcrafted in Walsall, England, using premium Veg Tan leather and soft hide, the T&T saddles embody Ideal’s heritage of exceptional English craftsmanship. Features like pre-moulded seats, traditionally wool-flocked panels, and premium leathers ensure superior comfort for rider and horse. Wool flocking can be precisely adjusted by a saddle fitter, guaranteeing even pressure distribution and long-lasting comfort.
Find Your Ideal T&T Saddle for Dressage, Jumping, or General Purpose in Auckland
The T&T range offers models tailored to different disciplines:
Dressage Saddle: Deep, pre-moulded seat with straight-cut flaps for a classical, secure position. Available in dual flap and monoflap options.
Jump Saddle: Forward-cut flaps and secure knee blocks for balance over fences. Twin flap and monoflap designs available.
General Purpose (GP) Saddle: A versatile all-rounder for schooling, hacking, and light jumping.
All T&T models feature interchangeable girth straps, allowing multiple girthing positions to optimize stability on any horse build.
