The Perugino dressage saddle with tilted cantle is a variant of the Acavallo® Leonardo dressage saddle. The new inclined cantle offers the rider more freedom of movement. Particular care was dedicated to the development of the tree that characterizes the dressage line, creating a narrow crotch that guarantees the rider to easily find the correct position and maximum comfort in the saddle. Persevering technical and on field research has led to the creation of a particularly deep seat that allows horse and rider to merge into a single entity during the performance with a cantle-saving rubber profile. The strength of the Acavallo® saddle line is the MAG system, a revolutionary opening adjustment system on the withers. Simply using the MAG Key is enough to perfectly adapt the saddle to the horse's morphology. All this is possible thanks to the innovative toothed mechanism integrated into the tree. A patent allows the rider to choose the best saddle position in total autonomy, also allowing him to best adapt the saddle to each horse's back. The short blocks are designed to ensure partial freedom of movement of the rider's knees. The large latex panels, on the other hand, provide the necessary close contact with the horse, optimizing the distribution of weight on its back. They are covered in leather, then in felt and padded with latex. They guarantee excellent cushioning and furthermore the latex does not change shape and does not lose thickness over time. The materials used are natural and hypoallergenic, capable of adapting and absorbing the stresses of work.

I used the shoes in Iceland for riding and bit hiking. Had them on whole days and walked around waterfalls getting the shoes wet. I had no problems even I didn't have time to use them before so they were brand new and they kept my feet dry.
For warmer weather they might be too warm, but for fall, spring and mild winter they will be perfect!
I usually use 38 or 39 on shoes and got 39 on these. 38,5 would have been perfect with normal sock, but with 39 I can fit wool sock for colder days.
