Amerigo Saddles: Craft, Comfort & Champions

When it comes to top‑tier saddlery, Amerigo stands out. Born from a partnership between Italian design and precision engineering, every Amerigo saddle is handcrafted with attention to horse welfare, rider balance, and long‑term performance. With wooden trees, carefully designed panels, and leather of the highest quality, Amerigo combines tradition with innovation to support comfort, durability, and athleticism.

What Sets Amerigo Apart

• Wooden Trees & Biomechanics: Amerigo uses wooden or wooden spring trees that flex just enough to move with the horse, reducing pressure points and enhancing comfort.

• Panel Design: Their panel systems (as with the newer models like the Selva) use support panels or flocking options that distribute weight evenly and allow shoulder freedom. Eurodressage

• Leather & Fit Options: High‑grade leathers, multiple flap and seat sizes, and various leather finishes (like Pinerolo, etc.) allow both horse and rider to get a more customised fit. Selleria+1
