The cleaning method depends on the material the product is made of. The following are the different procedures to clean a saddle made from different materials:

• Leather: With time and intensive use, leather can lose its elasticity and smoothness. Therefore, we suggest attentive care for this product. The cleaning method is:
• Give a gentle but thorough cleaning with only neutral soaps and a soft cloth.
• Protect the product by greasing with a moisturizing and water repellent lubricant.
• Spray the saddle surface with a standard silicone spray (e.g. one used for a car dashboard)
• Allow to dry and polish with a soft cloth.
• Neoprene: A synthetic rubber, neoprene is highly resistant to regular wear and tear resulting from weather conditions. It maintains its flexibility over time, therefore requiring minimal care. The cleaning method is:

- Clean with a neutral soap and soft cloth to avoid any scratches.

• Carbon fiber: With ideal lightness, resistance and elasticity, carbon fiber offers an innovative solution to facilitate saddlery care. Although it requires minimal care, absolute caution should be taken as excessive force can cause breakage. The cleaning method is:

- Clean with a wet sponge and neutral soap.- Wipe and polish with a soft cloth.

• Biothane: A substitutive material to the leather with the same look and texture but stronger and more durable. It can handle all kinds of weather conditions and is soft and extremely pliable, thus, requiring simple care. The cleaning method is:Clean with water and neutral soap with a cloth or sponge.

 It is not convenient to clean your saddle after every use. Therefore, maintaining a saddle is as important as cleaning it. To shield your saddle from the dirt and to preserve its finish, we would recommend using a saddle cover to keep the saddle in a close and protected place.

All our saddle pads are easy to clean. Although, they can be washed in a washing machine, we won’t recommend that as it can deform the saddle pad. Instead, we recommend to hand-wash the saddle pads with water and soap and let it air-dry.

For the riders who are just starting out, it can be challenging if the right equipment are not used. Setzi offer three models that are suitable for the beginners as they support the riders to stay balanced and provide security and comfort to, eventually, build up confidence. We recommendNarami A,ShardanaandTempiesasaddle models.

While purchasing a saddle; the main concern of our clients is whether it will fit the horse or not. That’s where we assist you with your choice. We always recommend our customers to send a picture of the horse’s back and our experts will review the image(s) and suggest the models that will fit the best.

Anima carbon models are our lightest saddle till date, weighing only 800 grams. It is a highly developed and innovatory model manufactured using the latest technology.

It was observed, after multiple testing, that an elongated hole or a groove in our saddle benefits the rider and the horse in numerous ways. For aggressive and long distance rides, even a well-cushioned saddle can aggravate prostrate problems. The groove and the hole keeps the pressure off the delicate tissues in the crotch area and diminishes the chance of any prostrate problems that may arise.

Additionally, the hole creates a passage of air to pass between the rider and the horse. It keeps the horse’s back properly ventilated without compromising the close contact with the horse.

Our saddles that are suitable for riding is suspension are models like Narami or Reale that has flaps and knee rolls. The flaps support and protect the leg of the rider and the knee rolls provide comfort and balance to the riders. Other saddles with high cantle, like Balente A, that has deep and secure seat are also suitable as they offer support to the lower back while riding.

• Place the saddle on the horse in a way that the front of the saddle sits just behind the horse’s shoulder.
• Tighten the back billet prior to the front billet to test the initial fit for the horse.
• Let the horse take a few steps and then adjust the tightness of the back billets accordingly.
• Lastly, tighten the front billet such that your fingers fit snugly under the billet but not tightly.

My horse gets injured very easily with the friction of the saddle pads; do you have a specific model that assists in avoiding such injuries?

We suggest merino saddle pad models for the horses that are easily injured. Those models are made with pure merino wool which is very soft and fine makes it comfortable and dampers the impact of the rider. It fits on the back of the horse like a second skin without causing itches and irritation. It absorbs moisture and keeps the saddle pad and the back of the horse dry.

I suffer from knee pain when I ride, is there a specific model that can help me?

We suggest Narami and Reale saddle models for the riders who suffer from knee pain as the models comes with flaps that support the leg of the rider and the front knee rolls provide comfort and balance to the rider. Additionally, we suggest adjusting the stirrups a little longer so the position of the knee is a bit open.

How are plus models different from standard models?

The plus model of the saddles comes with a smaller hole or groove in the saddle than the standard saddle models.
