In an earlier post I mentioned this new saddle from Ideal, the Ozelle. It is truly an innovation and to our knowledge has never been done before. This saddle is for wide horses but at the same time gives a narrow twist for the rider! This saddle is for the flatter, wide backed horse….wide cobs, natives, Icelandics, Hafflingers. It has a wide gullet, flat tree but narrow twist. It is a neat and tidy, small stamp of a saddle. The seat is not particularly deep.
We don’t yet have any “official” photos from Ideal but here are some photos we took of an Ozelle we currently have in stock….it is also on our Special Offers page!

This lovely saddle recently winged its way to USA! It was made for our customer, Amy and we just had to call it the “Amy saddle”!
Amy sent us a photo of a saddle she had seen and asked if we could create a similar effect on a Suzannah. It is difficult to convey how gorgeous it is in a photo because it feels so good too….and has a comfort seat.
Amy sent us a great message when it arrived. It didn’t half make me giggle!…..”Little Amy arrived safely today. Major problem….she’s too beautiful and perfect to take to the barn!!! I suppose I’ll eventually bring her out for visits.”
We’re waiting to hear how “little Amy” rides!

The “Amy Saddle’, a very special Suzannah!
