PDS Brioso SE Carl Hester Dressage Saddle

The Carl Hester Brioso saddle is meticulously crafted to meet the needs of horses with a traditional topline and prominent shoulders. Part of the acclaimed Carl Hester Collection, the Brioso combines timeless design with cutting-edge technology to deliver a saddle that excels in comfort, fit, and performance. 

With a choice of front gusset widths ranging from 1cm to 3cm, the Brioso adapts effortlessly to a wide variety of toplines. Guided by Carl Hester’s expertise, this saddle offers the ideal combination of security and freedom, enabling riders to achieve proper balance and a confident seat. The deep, grippy leather seat and anatomically correct blocks ensure a naturally comfortable and supported position from the first ride. 

INDEPENDENT FULL PANEL

Our independent full panels provide the most consistent contact possible. These panels are fixed only to the saddle’s tree, meaning that they are not influenced by the flap, billets, or any other saddle parts. 

This structure ensures that the only things that affect their weight-bearing surface are the rider’s seat, and the horse’s back. 

Flocked with only the highest-quality Jacob’s Wool, these panels are fully customizable by a fitter, with front and rear gussets available in a range of sizes to accommodate individual horse conformation. 

A wool-felt panel liner on the horse side of the panel ensures efficient heat exchange from the horse to the felt, to the wool, keeping backs cooler and comfortable. It also provides an even contact surface for comfort.
