Pessoa World Champion

The World champion model is very popular for its deep seat. This allows the rider to sit in the saddle and get unmatched comfort.

Its double leather flap and pre-moulded knee roll design give the rider the possibility of being comfortable and maintaining the correct position of the whole body. This model comes in single and double leather.

What is X-Change System?                                                                               The rider can modify the width of the tree in 6 easy steps using any of the adjustable gullet plates with only a screwdriver. It is really that simple!
This system does not change the integrity or look of the saddle. The strength and the feel are the same. The tree can perfectly adapt itself to the withers and back of any horse. The tree size can be changed from Narrow up to Extra Extra Wide.

What’s Master FitTM?
Master FitTM provides a customised saddle tailored for the shape of your horse - accompanied by the right top flap size for you. The Master FitTM system utilises the revolutionary AMS® panels which can be customised to suit various horse conformations.

What about the foundation?
Classical riders like Nelson Pessoa know exactly where the rider’s weight should spread across the horse’s back. Nelson first designed a tree that would allow the saddle to help the rider find the perfect position. A Pessoa saddle encourages the rider to find their balance.
Every tree is moulded with polymers specially designed by Dupont, bringing together flexibility and ultra light weight, without losing resistance. The anatomical design of the tree allows unbelievable contact between the horse and rider. All Carbon fibre trees come with 20 year guarantee. The leather and stitching come with a 12 month warranty from date of purchase.

Why do I need AMS®?
The AMS® System utilises a special neoprene layer which provides a soft consistent layer to support the rider’s weight on the back of the horse.
This layer absorbs impact and distributes pressure evenly allowing for comfort plus optimal movement for your horse. Saddles with AMS® panels can be re-flocked and fitted to your horse, just like a traditional wool flocked saddle. The distribution of weight with the AMS® System allows for the physiological requirements of the equine athlete.
