Salinero II - Dressage Saddle
Description
The Salinero II is a premium dressage saddle designed for riders who demand balance, security, and refined feel in the arena. Built around a philosophy of natural, unforced positioning, it allows the rider to move freely with the horse rather than being locked into a rigid seat. The ultra-grippy covered leather provides exceptional contact and confidence through every movement, from collected walk to extended trot.
Featuring Ovation Riding's signature AMS® panels and an adjustable XCH™ tree, the Salinero II is engineered to accommodate a range of horse conformations while delivering consistent, balanced performance. Whether you're training at home or competing at shows, this saddle brings serious dressage craftsmanship to every ride.
Key Features
- AMS® Panels: Advanced panel system for optimal weight distribution and close contact feel between horse and rider.
- Adjustable XCH™ Tree (Medium Wide): Accommodates varying horse conformations and allows for fit adjustments over time.
- Velcro® Repositionable Knee Block: Customizable knee block placement lets riders dial in their ideal leg position and support.
- Ultra-Grippy Covered Leather: Black covered leather surface enhances grip and security without sacrificing softness or feel.
- Medium Flap: Sized to suit a wide range of dressage riders, providing proper leg alignment and coverage.
- Balance-Focused Design: Engineered to promote a natural, balanced seat without forcing the rider into an artificial position.
- Available in Two Seat Sizes: Offered in 16.5 and 17.0 to suit different rider builds and preferences.
- Classic Black Finish: Sophisticated black covered leather is competition-ready and pairs with a wide range of dressage turnout.
Size Options & Which to Choose
- 16.5: The smaller seat size, best suited for petite to average-framed riders. Ideal if you typically ride in a 16.5 in other brands, or if you prefer a snugger, more precise fit in the saddle.
- 17.0: The larger seat size, well-suited for average to larger-framed riders or those who prefer a bit more room to move. A great choice if you've found 16.5 to feel tight or if your trainer recommends a roomier seat for your riding style.

FAQ
What does the adjustable XCH™ tree mean for my horse?
The XCH™ tree can be adjusted to better match your horse's back width and shoulder shape. This is especially valuable as a young horse's topline develops or if your horse's weight fluctuates seasonally. Rather than purchasing a new saddle, you can have a qualified saddle fitter adjust the tree to maintain a proper, comfortable fit over time.
What size seat should I choose - 16.5 or 17.0?
Seat size in dressage saddles is primarily based on the rider's build and preference. As a general guide, riders with a smaller frame or shorter femur often prefer a 16.5, while average to larger-framed riders tend to be more comfortable in a 17.0. If you're between sizes or unsure, consulting with a saddle fitter is always recommended for the best result.
What are the AMS® panels and why do they matter?
AMS® (Advanced Memory System) panels are designed to conform to the horse's back for even pressure distribution and a close, secure contact feel. They help reduce pressure points that can cause discomfort or resistance in the horse, making for a more harmonious and productive ride.
Can I reposition the knee blocks myself?
Yes - the Velcro® repositionable knee blocks can be adjusted without specialized tools, allowing you to move them forward or back to best support your leg position. This is a great feature for riders who are working with a trainer on their position, or who ride multiple horses with different movement styles.
Is this saddle appropriate for competition dressage?
Absolutely. The Salinero II is designed with competition in mind - the clean black covered leather finish meets standard dressage turnout requirements, and the balanced seat and grippy leather support the precise, controlled riding demanded at all levels of dressage competition.
