The Deuber & Partner (DP) El Campo Shorty Baroque Saddle is an elite, multi-discipline masterwork designed specifically for Working Equitation, classical dressage, and trail riding. Built by the renowned German saddlery DP, this model is engineered to provide premium rider comfort while resolving the fit challenges of short-backed, compact, and round horse profiles.
 
This specific saddle features a Seat Size 2 (S2), which translates to a standard 17.5-inch English seat (or 16-inch Western equivalent). Built under the unique handcrafted workshop tracking index 5040, this saddle is constructed around DP’s legendary Ultra-Flex tree architecture, providing a lightweight yet highly stable and flexible foundation that moves in harmony with the horse’s spine.

Key Performance Benefits
Short-Back Optimization: The "Shorty" configuration reduces the physical panel footprint by up to 1.5 inches compared to the standard El Campo, preventing the saddle from extending over the horse's lumbar region or putting pressure on the sacroiliac (SI) joint.
 
Infinitely Adjustable Gullet: Equipped with a mechanical gullet system that can be adjusted from extra-narrow to extra-wide with a simple turn of an Allen wrench. This allows the rider to instantly adapt the tree width to accommodate changes in the horse's conditioning or to fit multiple horses.
 
Working Equitation Versatility: Features anatomically shaped, adjustable velcro knee blocks and a balanced, close-contact seat structure that allows for precise leg aids and exceptional security during dynamic maneuvers.
