                                                                                                                            As your horse always comes first, let’s talk tack !!


                                                                                                                            henri-de-rivel-piaffe-mono-crown-bridle-w-flash-nose-band-with-patent-leatherA comfortable mono crown is complacent to your horse’s sensitive poll area and cuts around the ears for easy mobility. Available in black or Havana, this bridle can be bought in traditional dressage tack colors to match your saddle and girth.

                                                                                                                            The Pro Piaffe Mono Crown Bridle with Flash Noseband with Patent Leather is a sensible choice with a flair. Patent leather across the nose and browband adds Flash nosebands are quite common in the dressage ring at all levels.

                                                                                                                             Dressage is the English equivalent to reining in the western world. Both require ultimate attention to fine-tuned movements, clean transitions and clear communication from both horse and rider.


                                                                                                                            henri-de-rivel-ventura-covered-dressage-saddle-flockedThe saddle is super important for communicating with your horse through the use of your seat and you should be particular about what goes on your horse’s back and under your bum!

                                                                                                                            A well-fitted saddle should be comfortable for the rider, and especially the horse. There are similarities between the reining horse saddle and the dressage saddle. They both have leg flaps, a pommel, a cantle and a structural tree. But we ain't wranglin’ today, we’re dressagin’.

                                                                                                                             

                                                                                                                            Henri de Rivel has several options for dressage. The Ventura Covered Dressage saddle offers a moderately deep seat for a close feel and knee blocks for leg stability. Flocked panels are able to be adjusted (by a professional only!) to accommodate your horse’s distinct muscling. The Ventura also boasts signature stitching.  Add an engraved plate to the back of the cantle for another touch of individuality and shine!

                                                                                                                             

                                                                                                                            henri-de-rivel-equalizer-dressage-girthTheEqualizer Dressage Girth by Henri de Rivel is a great option to pair with your dressage saddle.
