Stylistically accurate jumping and optimal mobility for horse and rider – that’s what you can expect from the Close Contact jumping saddle Portos. Its newly designed and extremely soft seat, combined with its narrow twist and flat panel with short rib, reduces the distance between horse and rider to the absolutely required minimum. This helps both partners to merge into a perfectly matched unit. The full grain, soft leather makes sure that the rider feels at ease from the very beginning. The Portos model, however, is not only highly functional, but also distinguishes itself by its fanciful elegance. This saddle is particularly recommended for those who fancy a supple and aesthetically pleasing light seat. This particular model is the Portos S deluxe with wool flocking. As standard, the Portos S deluxe is a foam packing.
