Physics is a given.
The ride is yours.
One dressage saddle. Two designs.
A dressage saddle for ultimate precision:
Function defines form.
A Menetics dressage saddle combines an individual fit with a thoughtfully engineered overall concept. The saddle tree, weight-bearing surface, panels and knee blocks are precisely coordinated and designed with the anatomy of both horse and rider in mind. At its core is an understanding of how movement, balance and load interact. As a result, every Menetics dressage saddle supports a balanced seat and creates the ideal conditions for precise aids. For subtle contact, freedom of movement and harmony between horse and rider in dressage.
Those who analyse movement, design differently.
The movement of horse and rider is the foundation of every Menetics product. For more than 40 years, Peter Menet has explored how biomechanical principles and the laws of physics can be applied to equestrian equipment. His goal: greater harmony, health and performance in equestrian sport. This expertise shapes the development of bridles, girths, breastplates and saddle pads – and now also forms the foundation of the new Menetics dressage saddle.
Designed around the horse. Developed for the rider.
Peter Menet lives and breathes equestrian sport – as a rider, breeder, developer and tireless observer. For more than 40 years, he has been searching for better solutions to enhance the connection between horse and rider. With brands such as Menet Saddle and Amerigo, he has set new standards in saddle development. But Menetics is more than a product. It is the result of decades of experience, research and meticulous observation. Working closely with trainers, elite riders and medical experts, Menetics develops solutions that contribute to international success at the highest levels of the sport – while providing comfort, safety and confidence in everyday riding.
Menetics
Dressage Saddle
«Sapphire»
With its classic knee blocks, the Sapphire offers greater freedom of movement in the saddle and allows for a more independent, unrestricted leg position. The discreetly designed knee blocks are individually tailored to your needs and leg length. This provides targeted support without forcing you into a fixed position.
Menetics
Dressage Saddle
«Sapphire Blue»
With its external knee blocks, the Sapphire Blue offers more defined support and a stable feel in the dressage seat, without unnecessarily restricting the freedom of movement of your leg. Individually tailored to your needs and leg length, the knee blocks provide support exactly where it makes anatomical sense.
Tree
Wooden spring tree, 11-layer laminated and precise – the core of every Menetics saddle.
Leather
Sustainably tanned French and Italian calfskin and cowhide – durable, grippy, soft.
Panels
Filled with pure sheep wool – breathable, pressure-distributing and adjustable.
Your custom saddle in just 3 steps:
1. Choose your saddle
| The suitable model, preferred colour, premium leather and optional details are selected according to your preferences and requirements. |
2. Measurement
| Our Menetics measuring system offers unprecedented precision in fitting the saddle to both horse and rider, offering nearly limitless possibilities. |
3. Production
| Each saddle is handmade individually. From tree and seat to panels, flaps and blocks – every component is coordinated to create a custom-made, optimally functioning product. |
Knee blocks tailored to you.
The dressage saddle is available with either external or classic knee blocks. External knee blocks provide greater guidance and a stable feel in the saddle without unnecessarily restricting the freedom of movement of the leg. Classic knee blocks allow for a freer, more independent leg and greater mobility in the seat. What matters most is anatomically correct positioning that provides support without forcing the rider into a fixed posture. The knee blocks are individually tailored to your needs and leg length.
Because no two horses
are the same.
At Menetics, everything begins with the horse. Peter Menet or a certified expert comes to your stable, analyses the anatomy, measures the back, shoulders and movement. The result is not a standard saddle, but an individual solution. Developed on the living horse.
How a Menetics saddle is made.
Handcrafted: shaped from wood, steel, leather, wool – and expertise. Each tree is individually made, the leather is carefully selected, and every component is precisely adapted to anatomical requirements. Crafted by experienced specialists – with sensitivity, material knowledge and attention to detail. Every step counts, every stitch matters. The result is not just a product, but a masterpiece you will enjoy for many years.
The art of perfection.
A Menetics saddle is designed to adapt – a young horse, a new phase, or a change in training. We accompany you along the way: with check-ups, adjustments and personal consultation. On site. As often as needed.
