The Sommer Diplomat is a quality German-made dressage saddle designed to provide a balanced, supportive rider position while offering substantial fitting capability for the horse. Sommer saddles are known for their traditional craftsmanship, durable construction, and emphasis on saddle fit.
 
This saddle features a 17" seat and Medium-Wide (MW) tree. Its traditional dressage configuration provides a long, relatively straight flap designed to encourage a classical leg position while maintaining close communication between horse and rider.
 
The saddle features wool-flocked panels, allowing a qualified saddle fitter to alter panel volume and balance to better accommodate the individual horse. Wool flocking also allows the panels to be maintained and rebalanced as the horse's musculature changes over time, providing considerably more fitting flexibility than a permanently molded foam panel.
 
The Diplomat's supportive seat and knee area provide rider stability without creating an excessively restrictive position, making it suitable for dressage schooling, competition, flatwork, and classical riding.
