The Stübben Genesis Special Dressage Saddle is an elite close-contact tool engineered for maximum horse freedom and precise, unfiltered communication. Inspired by classical equitation principles, this model sets itself apart from standard dressage configurations by prioritizing an ultra-close connection to the horse's back. It features a deeply supportive, extra-deep seat that centers the rider directly over the horse's center of gravity without restricting pelvic mobility. 
 
This specific saddle is configured with a 17.5-inch seat and a 30cm Medium-Wide tree width, an incredibly versatile fit optimized for average-to-broad horses with strong back muscles or prominent toplines. Built on Stübben’s patented steel Spring Tree architecture, the foundation dynamically flexes with the horse's spinal movement while ensuring uncompromised clearance across the withers. The hallmark feature of the Genesis Special is its ultra-short half-panel design. By stopping the panel flocking halfway down the flap, this saddle eliminates bulk under the rider's leg, drastically improving close-contact aid effectiveness and offering unprecedented freedom for the horse's shoulder blades and serratus muscles to glide seamlessly during extension.
