FAQ
What does the Adjustable XCH™ tree mean for my horse?
The Adjustable XCH™ tree allows the saddle's fit to be modified to accommodate different horse back widths and conformations. This means you're not locked into a single fit - as your horse's muscle development changes with training, or if you ride multiple horses, the tree can be adjusted accordingly. This is a major advantage over fixed-tree saddles and adds significant long-term value to your investment.
What is the benefit of Velcro® knee and thigh blocks?
Velcro® blocks are repositionable, meaning you can adjust the placement of both your knee and thigh blocks to suit your personal riding style and leg length. This is especially useful for riders who are still developing their position or those who switch between different disciplines. A properly positioned block provides better support, stability, and security over fences.
What size saddle should I choose?
Saddle sizing is based on the rider's seat size, which is typically measured from the front of your hip bone to the back of your seat. As a general guide, riders with a seat measurement of 14-16 inches typically ride a 16.5, those 16.5-17 inches fit a 17.0, and so on. If you're between sizes, most riders prefer to size up for comfort. Consulting with a qualified saddle fitter is always recommended for the best result.
Is covered leather different from regular leather?
Yes - covered leather refers to a saddle surface finished with a specially treated or textured leather that is designed to maximize grip. This makes the San Diego II particularly secure and confidence-inspiring for jumping, where a stable leg position is critical. It also tends to be more forgiving in wet conditions compared to smooth, polished leather.
Is this saddle appropriate for beginner riders?
The San Diego II is a premium saddle that will certainly work for dedicated beginners, but it is particularly well-suited for intermediate to advanced jumping riders who will take full advantage of its adjustable fit, grippy leather, and performance-oriented block system. Beginners looking for a long-term saddle they can grow into will find it a worthwhile investment.
