Dressage and Endurance Jump and GP
A relatively young saddle company, Black Country has been making quality saddles for over 30 years. They are best known among the eventing crowd, who particularly appreciate Black Country’s innovative take on the monoflap, and their reputation is spreading quickly. Many who’ve ridden in a Black Country saddle say they will never buy another brand!
They have a little more curve to the tree than most English brands and the panel shape does well on short backs. Short panels are a no-cost custom option available for especially short backs.
Dante Vinici – Whether dressage, jump, or GP, the new Dante line from Black Country features a narrower twist and forward balance to really put the rider as close as possible to the center of the horse’s balance and in the most optimal position. Stylistically, the Dante is set apart by its squared off cantle, flaps, and skirt. Even the head nail is square adding to the unique appearance of this saddle! The Dante Vinici further enhances closeness of rider to horse with the monoflap design – a single layer of leather between horse’s barrel and rider’s leg enables you to communicate most subtly. The medium-deep seat and knee roll configuration offer non-restrictive security and support for the correct posture. Those who haven’t sat in a Vinici worry that they will feel the girth straps under their thigh, but years of rider feedback assure you will not! The Dante is also available in a dual flap if you prefer a more traditional look. Calf-covered leather is the luxurious standard for this beautiful saddle.

Black Country makes fitting easy by offering four different tree shapes in nearly all saddle models: a classic/traditional shape, a hoop tree for broad backs, a dippy tree for more shapely backs, and the brand new native tree specifically designed for our American breeds such as Morgans, Saddlebreds, and Quarter horses who are often both broad and shapely. Black Country is happy to accommodate most customization at no additional charge, such as changing the flap length, shape, or position to whatever you like, and moving or re-shaping blocks.
Additional charges apply to colored welting, Velcro blocks, or K-panels.
