Saddles & Accessories

The riding saddle is the centerpiece of every equestrian discipline. As the direct interface between rider and horse's back, it shapes the comfort of both partners, the quality of the aids, and progress in the discipline. OHLALA Sellerie offers a curated selection of riding saddles covering all disciplines — from jumping to dressage, trail riding to breaking — with sizes ranging from pony to large sport horse.

Choosing your saddle: the cornerstone of equestrian equipment

Jumping saddle and dressage saddle: cuts designed for each discipline

The jumping saddle is recognized by its forward-cut flaps and deep seat, which allow the rider to work in balance with a bent knee over fences. Light and dynamic, it moves with the horse on course. The dressage saddle, on the other hand, features straight flaps and a deep seat that position the leg long and vertical, encouraging precise aids and a refined contact. The choice between these two models naturally follows the discipline — and for riders who alternate between both, the all-purpose saddle is often the answer.

All-purpose and trail saddles: versatility for everyday riding

The all-purpose riding saddle combines the features of a jumping and dressage saddle: a medium flap that works equally well for flatwork and low-level jumping. Ideal for riders who enjoy multiple disciplines, it's the most versatile investment for everyday use. The trail riding saddle or endurance saddle, with generous cushioning and multiple attachment rings, is designed for comfort on long trail rides.

Breaking saddles and pony saddles: meeting specific needs

The breaking saddle: safety and freedom for the young horse

The breaking saddle meets very specific requirements: it must be lightweight to avoid overloading the back of a young, underdeveloped horse, fitted with a safety seat for the rider, and equipped with handles or straps to keep that first contact safe and secure. Its sturdy construction and multiple attachment points make it an essential professional tool for riding schools and owners working with their own young horses.

Pony saddles: fitting the equipment to the size

A pony saddle or bareback pad is not simply a scaled-down adult saddle: it is specifically designed to fit the conformation of ponies, which are often wider and rounder than horses. The seat is sized for young riders, with a closer pommel that gives children a reassuring point of support. Choosing the right size — expressed in inches for the seat (13'' to 15'') and in letters for the tree (XN, N, M, L) — must take into account both the pony's build and the child's morphology.

Saddle accessories: protecting and optimising your equipment

Girths, stud guards and girth covers: keeping the saddle secure

The horse girth keeps the saddle in place and must be suited to the horse's conformation and the length of the billets. Anatomical girths, slightly curved, move away from the elbow to prevent rubbing. The stud guard protects the horse's belly from hoof strikes during jumping. The girth covers protect the synthetic girth and billets from wear and sweat, extending their lifespan.

Shock absorbers, saddle covers and cantle guards

Thesaddle pad shock absorber slips between the saddle pad and the saddle to improve comfort for a horse with a sensitive back or to compensate for a minor fit issue. The saddle cover protects the seat and flaps from dust, UV rays, moisture and impact during transport. The cantle guard protects the back of the saddle from rubbing against the quarter sheet during outdoor rides.
