FAQ

SCHLEESE Sättel sind besser als jeder Maßsattel, denn unsere Sättel werden nicht nur nach einer sehr gründlichen Analyse und Vermessung durch unsere nach der S4L- Philosophie* ausgebildeten Sattel-Ergonome einmalig auf Reiter und Pferd angepasst. Sie sind ein Pferdelebenlang anpassbar. Da Ihr Pferd und auch Sie sich z.B. durch Training, Wachstum, etc. verändern, empfehlen wir eine regelmäßige Sattelprüfung und ggf. auch Nachjustierung mit dem SCHLEESE Sattel-Ergonom Ihres Vertrauens.

All Schleese pillions have a special shoulder back cut. This way, the shoulder blade of the horse can move under the saddle without disturbing the biomechanics of the horse in its movement through the rider. Thus, the horse can use its full shoulder mobility and can also move the entire forehand without any restriction when riding.
The SCHLEESE saddle ergonomists, which have adapted your saddle when you bought it, have been tested and certified by Saddlefit4Life and are re-certified every two years. All SCHLEESE saddle ergonomists are trained in horse and rider anatomy and biomechanics. Thus, we guarantee a reliable fitting of a SCHLEESE saddle based on a detailed 80 point S4L saddle fit evaluation. We entrust the SCHLEESE saddle fit exclusively to regularly recertified saddle ergonomists.
There are many factors to consider when trying to find the right saddle. What style do I ride, how tall am I, how tall is my horse, what do we want to achieve together, how old is my horse, etc.? All these points and about 75 more are decisive for finding the right saddle. Our specially trained S4L horse ergonomists checks every initial analysis together with our certified S4L saddle ergonomist on site.

With a SCHLEESE saddle, we also find solutions for horses with very difficult saddle positions. One of our experienced partners and S4L saddle ergonomists first have to get a personal image of the current situation. For this, we ask you to arrange an appointment, so that we can find a solution together. Please contact us or one of our SCHLEESE partners near you via our SCHLEESE website. We are looking forward to your inquiry.
We attach great importance to a correct saddle fit, your lifelong satisfaction and a tailor-made saddle adapted to your horse and your requirements. That is why it is essential for you and your horse to take measurements on site. Only a S4L certified saddle ergonomist can determine which saddle and which saddle design fits you and your horse best. In addition, you can customize your saddle yourself by choosing e.g. various leather versions, color, colored seams, piping and other details. This is why you cannot order a SCHLEESE saddle online.

To preserve the beauty of your SCHLEESE saddle's leather, we recommend the following simple steps:

  • Remove dirt and sweat after each use with warm water
  • Use glycerine soap to clean your saddle after every 3rd - 5th use and remove the soap with warm water.
  • Apply leather grease to restore the moisture content of the leather. We recommend a pure fat without additives, such as beeswax
  • Only use very little leather oil. Please do not use any mixed products.
  • If possible, store the saddle at room temperature with 30-40% humidity to maintain the suppleness of the leather and to prevent dryness and mildew.
