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.
