dressage rider Trea Mulder and KFPS approved stallion Tietse 428
Talented Friesian horses are more often gaining recognition in the higher Dressage competitions,
among them are Trea Mulder with the KFPS Aprroved Breeding Stallion Tietse 428.
The saddle has been developed in close cooperation with Trea and Tietse. The Tietse's Choice saddle by Cavaletti
is the only Friesian saddle designed for both the rider and the horse at a higher levels of competition.
We are thus proud to be able to bring to you this saddle under the name Tietse's Choice.
Tietse's Choice saddles are available in several Tree widths, starting from 28 cm up to and including 35 cm.
Our 33 cm tree width is the most usual tree half-measure for the Friesian horse.
The Tree has been so designed in placement, that the Friesian horse is able to use all shoulder freedom;
and that the rider remains balanced in the raised paces of the Friesian, while continuing forward in the
horse's performance.
The perfect position of this saddle can, however, be called unique since the saddle is usually standard on every
Friesian horse. If the saddle must be custom fitted to your horse, this is possible for the same price.
This Hand-made saddle has been crafted from the World's best materials, while keeping costs minimized.
This saddle is unique in that it has saddle half-measures, such as 17.3 and 17.8 inch. Approximately
90% of the saddles are made in the half-measures of 17, 17.5 and 18 inch. Experience shows that
the majestic paces and different conformation of a Friesian in comparison with the Warmblood horse,
results in most other saddles incorrectly fitting too small or too large.
By our unique half-measures you sit very balanced without compromising your Friesians performance.
Tietse's Choice saddles do not give the feeling you are just sitting on the horse, but you that you and
your Friesian are a team together.
Many Western riders praise our saddles--a very nice transition from the secure feeling of the wrap around
western saddle. Tietse's Choice saddles give an equally secure feeling, with much less weight to lift up and
onto your tall Friesians back!
The placement of the knee flaps guarantees a connected and flat position for the support for the riders knee,
and the lower leg has better contact with horse, resulting in more subtle aids. The long stirrups have been
secured in `V `- formation, minimizing movement. A wide, nicely padded seat keeps you in comfort
and gives the rider more balance.
The specially devised tree system, filled with 100% sheep wools, ensures a good contact and better weight
distribution across the back of the horse. Since the Friesian horse is shorter built, the Tietse's Choice
deep seating sits you more forward, placing the rider correctly and more balanced in the saddle.
This moves the Friesian's performance forward as a result, and he can more easily use his back
and as a result, movement will improve.
