Verdello General Purpose Saddle, Bridle Leather

Under the flap of Verdello the panels are wool-flocked, which means a saddler can adjust them to the horse in front of them rather than the horse the factory imagined.

The tree is checked for symmetry before the leather goes on, and the stirrup bars are recessed so nothing sits under the rider's thigh. Billets are triple-stitched to a webbing anchor rather than tacked into the tree.

Wipe the sweat off after every ride and feed the leather once a month; that is the whole routine. A year of five-day weeks leaves marks on the leather and nothing worse.

If you are between sizes, write to us with the measurements — we would rather send the right one first time than process a return.
