DP Saddlery 1024 Cadiz 8817

Description

The DP Saddlery Cadiz is widely considered one of the most versatile models in the Baroque line. It bridges the gap between a secure, deep-seated dressage saddle and a comfortable, all-day trail saddle. With its classic Spanish aesthetics and modern adjustability, the Cadiz supports the rider in a correct, balanced position without feeling overly restrictive.

Highlights

• Secure Yet Open Seat: The Cadiz features a deep seat with a high cantle for security, but the pommel is slightly lower and more open than models like the Jerez. This offers a “freer” feeling for the rider, making it easier to post the trot or move with the horse on the trail.

• Velcro Knee Rolls: Unlike models with fixed blocks, the Cadiz often comes with Velcro knee rolls (or the option for them), allowing you to adjust the thigh support exactly where your leg needs it—or remove them entirely for a flatter feel.

• Wool Flocked Panels: The wide, weight-distributing panels provide excellent comfort for the horse and can be flocked by a professional to fine-tune the fit.

Ideal Horse Conformations

The Cadiz is built on a versatile Baroque tree profile that works well for a wide variety of shapes:

• Average to Curvy Backs: The tree has a natural, moderate curve that suits Iberians, Friesians, and many Warmbloods beautifully.

• Short Backs: Like most DP Baroque models, the panels are designed to be compact, keeping the weight off the loins of shorter horses.

• Wide Shoulders: The adjustable gullet and open shoulder angle allow for excellent freedom of movement for broad or expressive movers.

Best Activities

• Dressage Schooling: The balanced seat encourages a vertical leg and correct posture for flatwork and lateral movements.

• Trail & Pleasure Riding: The security of the high cantle and the comfort of the soft seat make it a favorite for long rides on the trail.

• Working Equitation: Offers the necessary support for speed phases while maintaining the finesse needed for dressage and ease of handling.
