Dressage
Dressage Tack & Equipment
Dressage is the foundation of all riding — and it demands tack that allows subtle communication between horse and rider. Solo Saddlers supplies South African dressage riders with saddles, bridles, bits, and accessories that support correct riding and quiet aids, from Prelim to Grand Prix.
Our dressage collection features deep-seated dressage saddles with long, straight flaps designed for a deep leg position. You'll also find double bridles, snaffle bridles, dressage-legal bits, and training aids that help develop your horse's way of going.
What Dressage Riders Need
- A dressage saddle with a deep seat and long flaps for a correct leg position
- Quality bridles — snaffle for lower levels, double bridle for advanced
- Dressage-approved bits (loose ring, eggbutt, Weymouth and bradoon sets)
- White saddle pads or numnahs for competition
- Schooling aids — side reins, training reins, lunging equipment
Tack That Supports the Work
In dressage, the right tack disappears — your horse responds to your aids, not to equipment that pinches, restricts, or distracts. That's why fit and quality matter more here than in almost any other discipline. A saddle that puts you behind the movement or a bit that doesn't suit your horse's mouth will show up in every test.
At Solo Saddlers, our team has over 35 years of experience helping riders find the right setup. We can talk you through bit selection, saddle fit, and bridle options based on your horse and your level.
