In crafting this saddle, we drew inspiration from the timeless Portuguesa saddle tradition. Originating in Portugal, this classic design, revered for its enduring comfort for both horse and rider, has seen minimal evolution over centuries. While preserving the essence of these Portuguese saddles, we've elevated this design with our innovative UltraFlex tree and an adjustable gullet for a contemporary adaptation.

Traditionally associated with bullfighting in Portugal, the Lisboa saddle extends its benefits beyond the arena. Boasting a deep seat, elevated front and rear galleries, it provides riders with a secure and confident riding experience. The substantial rear gallery, extending up to the rider's thigh, offers optimal support during dynamic maneuvers. Broad, supple panels with ample contact area ensure the horse's comfort, facilitating freedom of movement.

For an authentic Lusitano appearance, the saddle accommodates the attachment of a Xairel. Meticulously crafted with high-quality materials, adorned with decorative seams, and showcasing artisanal precision, this saddle stands out as a unique choice. Perfect for enthusiasts of Portuguese horses, all disciplines requiring a vertical riding posture, and those who prioritize a secure and comfortable seat.
