Size Guide
The chart shows the main measurements of the Arena Dressage for each seat size. Use it to compare with the saddle you ride in now.
For you
- Seat size depends on your build, the length of your thigh and the riding you do, so compare with a saddle you already find comfortable.
- If you are between sizes, try both if you can, or ask your saddle fitter or retailer.
For your horse
- Fit is about comfort, balance and how your horse moves, not one number on a chart, so we would always start with a qualified saddle fitter you trust.
- The width can be changed with the EASY-CHANGE Gullet System, so you or your saddle fitter can adjust it as your horse changes shape.
Measurements are a guide only. They are rounded to the nearest 0.5 cm and then converted to inches, and the organic shape of saddlery means small differences between pieces are normal.
-
Can I change the gullet myself?
Yes. The EASY-CHANGE gullets are colour coded and can be swapped in minutes with the tools supplied in the Complete Kit. If you are not sure which width your horse needs, ask a qualified saddle fitter.Will the Arena Dressage fit a wide horse?
With the standard EASY-CHANGE gullets it adjusts from Narrow to Extra Wide. For horses with a broad, cob-type build, the Arena Cob Dressage uses the WIDE system instead.How long is the warranty on the tree?
10 years on the tree, and two years on materials and workmanship. Claims are handled by your retailer, with your receipt and warranty card. -
Approximate weight: 6.0 kg/13.2 lb. Weights vary a little by size and options. Fitted with a Medium (black) EASY-CHANGE gullet. The EASY-CHANGE Gullet System: Complete Kit, EASY-CHANGE Riser System: Standard Pack and EASY-CHANGE Gullet Gauge are available separately, as are a girth and stirrup leathers.

-
- Clean the leather with Arena Glycerine Soap to remove surface dirt and oil, let it dry, then condition it with Arena Leather Balsam.
- Both come in the Arena Leather Care Pack.
- Wipe the technical lining clean with a damp cloth.
- The CAIR cushions are never adjusted themselves, and opening the CAIR security tape voids the warranty.
