Some modern dressage horses have little or no wither and are more barrel shaped. Popular due to their compact shape and pwerful movement, these horses need careful saddle fitting consideration. The Delicato is designed exclusively for this type of horse - built on a close contact tree, the narrow twist and monoflap design offer the ultimate close contact feel in a dressage saddle. The anatomic knee roll supports the rider without constricting or forcing position.
