Saddle Recommendations for Friesians

Coming soon: our personal experiences with the Ambassador, Barracuda, and Levade dressage saddles promoted here.

What is a good saddle? A saddle that fits both your horse and you and gives you the performance you both need. We endorse these quality saddles below, made to order, hand crafted in Scotland, quality that lasts, made with beautiful details and from top materials. All saddles need maintenance and may need adjusting as the horse changes condition. These models come with the follow-up service that is often not found elsewhere.

Your used saddle could be listed for sale here. E-mail us for details.

True craftsmanship, fit, and comfort for a lifetime!
Dressage . Saddleseat . Endurance/Trail
  • For custom saddles we recommend the saddles below: custom made to fit you and your horse and to last a lifetime. We have added a saddle for the Saddleseat enthusiasts and for trail/endurance. The Levade already is a popular model for dressage riders. Most often used is the Barracuda dressage model. The Ambassador saddle is new on the market and was developed specifically for the baroque Friesian back. The tree is very flat with a wider spinal clearance, and the shoulder area has nicely "quilted" pattern for maximum comfort. Some of the problem areas addressed: enough clearance at the shoulder to allow freedom of movement, panel style that conforms to the horse's back and won't "pop up and down" at the cantle, billeting system that follows the girth line so the saddle doesn't slide forward, and trees that are not too curved to cause pressure points in the lumbar area. The saddle is also superior in rider comfort. It supports a proper seat and has great knee rolls.
  • Contact us for your personal price quote and all its features by clicking here. Test saddles are available and we will gladly help you with a fitting.
  • Click here if you would like more information on the saddles and for references from satisfied, experienced dressage riders and Friesian owners.

Friesian gelding Sjolling (Brandus 345 x Tamme 276) at the 2005 Championship, He is ridden by his trainer Christy Raisbeck who rides in an Ambassador saddle. Sjolling ranked 2nd in the nation at USDF Musical Freestyle at 3rd Level in 2005 and was also the ABIC 3rd Level Freestyle Champion for 2005. 

Trainer Jill B. in CA on her Friesian. She won Reserve Grand Champion at 2nd Level at the CDS Championships this fall riding in the Ambassador saddle and loves it! Jill riding in her Ambassador saddle won the FHANA President's Trophy 2008 and won in the FHANA Dressage awards with the highest score of 2890!
 

 
"How can I ever thank you enough for providing me with the BEST saddles ever for my Friesian horses, two of which are now Saddle Seat Friesian World Champions, Reserve Champions, Jr. Exhibitor Friesian World Champion, and Hunt Seat Friesian World Reserve Champion! The moment I saw Candace Frazer with one of your saddles in Topsfield, MA in 2006, I told my trainer "This is the saddle I have been looking for the past two years - get it!"  I now own 8-10 of your saddles and I believe them to be the best in today's market for the needs of Friesians. Micaela, MA.

I just wanted to tell you… I had Bob C. come to flock my saddle.  First thing he said was “it fits your horse very well”. He added some flocking to the front and said I shouldn’t have to do any more other than the normal yearly checks. But, he really looked it all over, touched the leather, and said he was impressed with the craftsmanship and quality of the saddle. He really liked it! He asked who made it (course I gave him your name and showed him my saddle cover). I told him the tree was made for Friesians with straight backs and that I tried many regular tree saddles of which just were terrible on my gelding. He said he knew that other trees would not work too.  Super cudos for you!!  I felt great too, that he really liked it and that it was perfect.  Oh, he also said he really liked the knee rolls.  Bob has been selling saddles for 30 years! Sally, TX.

Congratulations to Kimberly, Paula, MacKenzi, and Sally for finding their saddle through Anneke's Friesians.

For the dressage lovers:

The Barracuda saddle

This model fits most (sport-horse type) Friesians and is the most popular model. We use it ourselves for our training and sale Friesians for its versatility, fit, and superb seat that puts you right where you need to be: deep seat that can be customized,  narrow twist, superb positioning. Custom made to order. Price: $3,400.

The Ambassador (Designer) edition

The Ambassador is used for the baroque, wide, round, short coupled Friesian that is hard to fit in traditional saddles.

The Ambassador is available as a traditional custom and also in the Designer Edition. A saddle like no other saddle on the market today! Not only is the Designer saddle as functional as the traditional Ambassador with respect to ridability and fit, the sheer craftsmanship is beyond compare from the original artwork design, hand-tooled Friesian head pattern in the flap, rhinestone enhanced eye and 3-D horse image in the knee pad! The panel of the saddle is completely quilted for maximum comfort for your horse. The price for traditional Ambassador is $3,400 and $5800 for the Designer Edition.

Levade

The Levade is cut back for higher or longer withers, has a wider twist and a medium seat. Custom made to order. Price: $3,400.

For amazing, custom made, designer saddle pads click here.

We gladly help you with fittings and a test saddle nationwide! Initial advice on what model would work can be made by e-mailing pictures of your horse without tack from the side and the top for conformation assessment.

For the saddle-seat enthusiasts:

The Royale

This saddle is a cutback saddle made specifically for the saddle-seat discipline. The sample in this picture is a Dark Havana with the seat made in Elk (for grip) and the flaps are made of (Buffalo) which looks quite elegant. The saddle also has a deeper seat which is more "Equitation" style but it can be made flat if that is more to your liking. The Royale saddle can be made totally custom; made to your horse's wither tracing, black, even put a red welt line around the seat if you use a black & red bridle for example. Leather choices are custom to: everything is optional! Price: $2,800.

Trail & endurance:

Horizon

This saddle is great for basic styles of riding, endurance, and trail. It is custom made to fit you and your Friesian.

Thank you for entering the summer 2006 contest and helping to name the new Friesian saddle! The contest gave away a $200 gift certificate for English tack and apparel and a feature page of choice online for six months has been to Kimberly in New York. The winning name is: Ambassador! Congratulations, Kimberly!
