The DP Saddlery Ronda Deluxe is not just a saddle; it is a work of art designed for the serious equestrian who values deep security and traditional Baroque aesthetics. Modeled after the historical saddles of the Spanish vaqueros and classical masters, the Ronda Deluxe features high galleries (pommel and cantle) that encase the rider, providing an unparalleled feeling of safety and connection.

What sets the "Deluxe" apart is the exquisite finish: it comes standard with Full Flower Tooling and an Antique Finish, making it one of the most visually stunning saddles in the entire lineup.

Highlights

• Maximum Rider Security: The high front and rear galleries create a deep, secure seat that is ideal for dressage schooling, trail riding on spirited horses, or working equitation. You sit "in" the horse, not just "on" top.

• Stunning Craftsmanship: Features elaborate Full Flower Tooling across the leather, giving it a classic, high-end look right out of the box.

• Modern Adjustability: Despite its traditional look, it is built on the innovative Ultra-Flex Tree. You can adjust the gullet width continuously from narrow to extra-wide using a simple Allen wrench—no saddle fitter required for width changes.

• Compact Design: With a total length of approximately 20 inches, it is perfectly suited for short-backed horses (Iberians, Arabians, Cob types) where larger western or dressage saddles might bridge or rub.

Best Activities

• Classical Dressage & High School: The deep, structured seat and high pommel/cantle encourage a deep, correct vertical position, essential for collection and complex movements.

• Working Equitation: Provides the highest level of security needed for navigating speed phases and technical obstacles.

• Trail Riding: The profound seat security makes it an ideal saddle for covering rough terrain or riding spirited horses with confidence.

Ideal Horse Conformations

• The Horse: Best for short-backed horses with a moderate to round ribcage. The adjustable gullet makes it versatile enough to fit everything from a high-withered Thoroughbred to a broad Lusitano.

• The Rider: Perfect for riders who want the security of a Western saddle but the close contact and leg position of a Classical Dressage saddle.
