18" Frank Baines Adagio Dressage Saddle
Experience refined British craftsmanship with this beautifully balanced 18" Frank Baines Adagio, designed for riders seeking a modern, close-contact feel without compromising comfort for either horse or rider.
Built on a tree that suits horses with medium to higher withers and an average-shaped back, the Adagio provides excellent support through its 6" dot-to-dot tree and broad wool-flocked panels. These panels paired with a wide gullet ensure generous spinal freedom and even pressure distribution—ideal for maintaining comfort through schooling sessions and longer training days.
The 16" long × 14.5" wide flaps offer a supportive leg position, while the deep, secure seat crafted in full-calf leather provides exceptional grip and stability. Both horse and rider benefit from the saddle’s thoughtful design: an adjustable tree for fine-tuning fit as your horse develops, and a close-contact profile that gives the rider a connected, confident ride.
This saddle is in excellent condition, showcasing Frank Baines’ reputation for durability and high-end craftsmanship. A wonderful choice for anyone wanting adjustability for their horse paired with unmatched rider comfort.
