• Made in Italy
• Seat Sizes: 17″, 17.5″, and 18″
• Tree Sizes: NM, M, MW, and W
• Colors: Black and Brown
• Built on superior laminated French Beechwood Amerigo Classic Dressage tree
• Deep seat with rounded cantle
• Made entirely from individually chosen, luxuriously soft, Pinerolo calfskin leather
• Precise shape of saddle tree and uniquely padded seat provide rider with ergonomically-correct position without feeling restricted
• Independent Swiss panels adapt themselves to the shape of the horse
• Unsurpassed wool/felt panel system provides direct and precise communication, as well as excellent weight carrying values on the horse’s back
• Large, exterior blocks on the Classic Siena are cut and positioned on the flaps to give the rider a more forward flap feel and tend to be less obtrusive than the blocks on a standard Classic Dressage saddle. We have found that the Siena is ideal for someone with a longer leg or a rider who prefers a less prominent block.
• Long billets with 3-point strap system securely anchor saddle
• Designed by Peter Menet for horses with high withers and a sloping topline
• Offers the rider total balance and allows for a relaxed, free but efficient leg position
• Special order options: This saddle may be ordered with cowhide leather (rather than Pinerolo calfskin) for $6,700 or with monoflaps for $7,000. As with all Amerigo saddles, the Classic Siena Dressage may be ordered with custom options for flaps, tree width, panel density, and more. Please contact us for more information.

Peter Menet’s first priority as a saddle designer is to create saddles that allow horses to move freely, with the weight of the rider placed as far forward as possible to minimize strain on the horse’s back. The unique seat profile of the Amerigo saddle places your hips in the same position as they would be if you were standing in a balanced position on the ground. You are sitting in a relaxed, balanced way with gravity working in your favor without having to use force to hold your position.

While Menet’s design philosophy puts the horse first, it by no means ignores the rider. For Menet, fitting the saddle to horse and rider are inseparable – almost literally the two sides of a coin. “If the horse is comfortable and his movement is unhindered, he is able to perform to the best of his ability.” Peter Menet, June 2002

Amerigo saddles and accessories are made with the highest quality, naturally tanned leathers. Some leather care products on the market may not be suitable for use on this type of leather and could be damaging. Amerigo recommends the use of Amerigo’s own leather care products which have been specially formulated for use on Amerigo’s own leather. Amerigo saddles should be routinely cleaned with Amerigo Soft Clean soap, with the periodic use of Amerigo Soft Balm leather conditioner when required.

Amerigo offers a 5-year guarantee against manufacturer defects on their saddle trees and 2 years on their leather.
