The Saddle Company Vicenza General Purpose Saddle

A Truly Versatile Saddle for Every Riding Discipline

The Saddle Company Vicenza General Purpose Saddle is the ideal choice for riders seeking one saddle capable of excelling across a wide range of disciplines. Whether you're hacking, schooling, jumping, competing or enjoying everyday leisure riding, the Vicenza combines premium British craftsmanship with innovative saddle-fitting technology to deliver outstanding comfort, balance and performance for both horse and rider.

Handcrafted in Walsall, England, the home of traditional British saddlery, the Vicenza reflects The Saddle Company's commitment to producing beautifully made saddles that adapt to your horse throughout its working life.

Built Around the Innovative TreeTec™ Adjustable Tree

At the heart of every Vicenza Saddle is The Saddle Company's exclusive TreeTec™ adjustable saddle tree, designed by David Johnson, Master Saddler. Manufactured from a durable copolymer composite, the TreeTec™ tree provides exceptional strength and long-term reliability while allowing a qualified saddle fitter to make precise adjustments as your horse develops muscle, matures or changes shape.

Unlike interchangeable gullet systems, the TreeTec™ tree does not rely on replaceable metal gullet bars or removable screws. Instead, the tree itself is adjusted using specialist equipment, maintaining its carefully engineered geometry and structural integrity.

This continuous adjustment system allows a saddle fitter to achieve a far more precise fit than fixed gullet plate increments, helping to optimise saddle balance, panel contact and rider position while maximising your horse's comfort and freedom of movement.

Premium British Craftsmanship

The Vicenza is crafted throughout from premium-grade leather, offering a luxurious feel, excellent durability and superb rider grip.

As standard, the saddle is fitted with traditional serge panels, renowned for their breathability and ability to conform naturally to the horse's back. Riders who prefer an all-leather finish can specify leather panels as an optional upgrade.

The panels are flocked with 100% Jacobs Wool, allowing a qualified saddle fitter to make precise adjustments throughout the saddle's life. This enables the saddle to maintain optimum balance and pressure distribution as your horse changes shape through work, fitness or seasonal condition.

Designed for Everyday Performance

The General Purpose design offers a balanced riding position suitable for multiple disciplines, making the Vicenza an excellent choice for riders who enjoy variety without compromising comfort or performance.

Whether you're schooling in the arena, hacking across the countryside, attending Riding Club clinics or popping a course of fences, the Vicenza delivers the versatility and support expected from a premium British saddle.

Saddle Care

To preserve the quality and appearance of your Vicenza Saddle, clean the leather regularly using a quality leather cleaner and conditioner. For full leather models, periodic application of leather oil alongside leather food will help maintain suppleness and protect the leather.

A simple wipe with a damp cloth after each ride will remove sweat and dirt, keeping your saddle looking and performing at its best for many years.

Professional Saddle Fitting Recommended: Every Saddle Company saddle is designed to be professionally fitted and adjusted by a qualified saddle fitter to ensure optimum comfort, balance and performance for both horse and rider.
