I could never find fine, really well-fitting affordable saddles myself.
Out of that frustration RS saddles was born
Rilana Sangers
RS Saddles' vision is a world where every rider and horse, regardless of their level or discipline, has access to a saddle that provides optimal fit, comfort and performance at an affordable price, making equestrian harmony and enjoyment accessible to all
Van schets naar prototype
Back in 2019, Rilana began making a sketch of a saddle as she began to run into more frequent problems with short backs and round-legged horses, as well as tall or heavier riders. In 2020, she set to work finding a supplier and making a first prototype.
Prototypes
First prototype developed further and so came a second prototype, also had this one tested by a number of riders. Adjustments made and prototype number three arrived. This one was tested again and minor changes were made for prototype number four. As well as the plan to put a classicline next to it and a jumping saddle.
De markt op
In June 2023, the product was approved and we entered the market. In September 2023, RS saddles was officially launched at horseevent.
''From the first moment I sat down in the RS saddle I felt super nice! The saddle has a nice seat which keeps me sitting straight, the hocks at the knee give me a lot of support. Because of the mono leaf I feel the horse's movement much more under me, and I can ride the exercises better. What is also very noticeable is that my horses have mega shoulder freedom. You see the horses walk with much more swung. Rilana looks carefully at rider and horse to get the saddle as perfect as possible for both.''
"I had the opportunity to test the RS jumping saddle on my horses. My findings of the saddle were very positive, the close contact monoblad speaks for itself better contact with the body making your aids come through much finer and you really feel what is happening under you. The saddle allows the rider to stay upright and maintain a quieter leg position without feeling "stuck" in the saddle. I have very long legs and because there is an adjustable hook attached for your stirrup straps you can decide if your leg will be more forward or backward. The stirrups are also very easy to adjust. Because I have young horses myself, it is very nice that the saddle can be adjusted at all times as the horse grows and gains more muscle. So you don't have to buy another saddle every time. The leather is very supple and provides a good grip in the saddle. In short I am very happy with it!"
