Seat Styles

 

ACADEMIC SEAT

This Seat will suit the Classical Dressage Rider that wants more room in the seat without constriction. The feel is a jumping seat in that it has a flatter middle that allows the rider to move their seat backwards or forwards more so than would be achievable in say an Extra Deep seat. The Academic seat benefits from a much higher cantle than the Flat Seat and therefore gives the support one would expect for dressage.

GRAND PRIX SEAT

Like the Academic seat this Seat will suit the Classical Dressage Rider that wants more room in the seat without constriction. The difference is the cantle is from a Deep seat whereas the Academic is from a Extra Deep.  This gives a slightly lower and more round appearance that some customers prefer.  The feel is like a jumping seat in that it has a flatter middle that allows the rider to move their seat backwards or forwards more so than would be achievable in say an Extra Deep seat.
