The Harry Dabbs Elegant Dressage Saddle combines refined craftsmanship, luxurious comfort, and intelligent design to deliver exceptional performance in the arena. Built on the DJ tree, this model offers a supportive, balanced seat that allows the rider to sit close to the horse while maintaining freedom of movement through the shoulders and back.

Expertly crafted in England, the Elegant features Harry Dabbs’ signature attention to detail – from soft, supple leather to ergonomic knee blocks and carefully shaped performance panels. Every element of the saddle is designed to promote harmony between horse and rider, encouraging a supple, relaxed frame and correct alignment.

Key Features

Built on the DJ tree – designed to allow greater shoulder freedom and wither clearance

Deep, balanced seat for optimal rider security and position

Performance panels to distribute weight evenly and support back comfort

Crafted from premium double leather for exceptional grip and longevity

Best Suited For

The DJ tree shape makes this saddle particularly suitable for:

Horses with medium to high withers

More angular or moderately shaped backs rather than flat, broad types

Horses with well-defined shoulders needing extra room to move freely

Short-backed or slightly croup-high horses

It may be less ideal for very round, low-withered horses, where the Hunter or IB tree would offer a closer match.
