Black Country Eventing Saddles
|
The Vinici ADVANCE
|
Price: POA
|
A new addition to our Vinici single/mono flap, close contact range of saddles.
A development of the Vinici Tex Eventer and Jump, this was designed as a result of our sponsorship work with international event rider Brett Kenyon who was formerly on the British Younger Rider team and is based with event rider John Marsden. Brett is 6’ 4” and had difficulty in finding a saddle forward cut enough that his knees were not over the front of the saddle. He now endorses the saddle for us on his advanced eventer Henbury Hallmark.
Features a long sloping seat ideal for the cross country phase, with the extra close contact security of a single/mono flap.
Custom built for both horse and rider.
Available in a selection of leathers and colours.
