Ideal Tonishia 18" 2018
The Ideal Tonishia Dressage Saddle is a premium English-made dressage saddle, expertly handcrafted in Walsall, England and renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship, rider comfort, and horse-friendly design. Engineered with a specialised tree that provides outstanding wither clearance and a wide channel, this saddle offers excellent balance, stability, and close contact. Combined with its secure, deep seat, it is an ideal choice for dressage riders seeking comfort and performance on broader horses.
Constructed with a traditional adjustable tree and wool flocked panels, this saddle is designed to provide optimum comfort for your horse while allowing ongoing fitting adjustments by a qualified saddle fitter. It is particularly well suited to heavy-boned, broad-shouldered horses, including Warmbloods, Andalusians, Friesians, Clydesdale crosses, and similar builds.
This particular saddle is a 2018 model in black leather and presents in great used condition. It represents an excellent opportunity to purchase a premium-quality Ideal saddle at a fraction of the cost of buying new.
