Purosangue Custom Line Saddles

Customisable saddles for comfort and support over long distances

The Purosangue Custom Line is designed for riders who spend many hours in the saddle and want a more defined riding position, with full covering and support features that help improve rider stability over prolonged periods and sustained gaits. Within this range, the differences between models are not merely aesthetic: the seat design, the presence and size of the support blocks (“bananas”) and, where applicable, the flap configuration all vary.

Technical features of the Purosangue Custom equestrian line

• Purosangue rigid tree: a shared, proven structural base designed to provide stability and a consistent riding position over long distances.
  
• Full covering (full-cover): continuous surfaces with more structured profiles and stitching compared with the Naked and Cover lines.
  
• Model-specific flaps and seat: there is no “standard” flap in the Custom Line; its shape and length vary according to the selected model.
  
• Support blocks (“bananas”) where applicable: support elements designed to increase stability and control; their size and function vary depending on the model, from more protective to more discreet.
  
• Distinct model identity: each configuration is designed for a specific use (trail riding, endurance, fast-paced rides, flatwork, American- or Australian-style riding).

7 Models in the Purosangue Custom Line

Discover the seven models in the Purosangue Custom range, where the technical excellence of the Purosangue rigid tree meets designs specifically developed for different equestrian disciplines. From saddles for long-distance trail riding to technical endurance models, each configuration provides tailored stability and support for riders who love spending time outdoors.

1. California – American-style saddle
   An American-style configuration designed for riders looking for this type of riding position and feel. It is the Custom choice for those who want a fully covered saddle with a Western/American identity.
2. Sidney – Australian-style saddle
   An Australian-style configuration for riders who prefer this type of seat and stability. This model is aimed at those looking for a fully covered saddle with an Australian-inspired design.
3. Gran Turismo – trail riding, leisure riding and flatwork
   A model with long flaps: a useful feature when managing the horse during long rides (for example, when the horse sweats, a long-flap construction is a common choice for riders looking for consistent comfort over extended periods). It is suitable for leisure and trail rides that include periods of trot and canter, and can also work well for flatwork. In some markets it is also chosen for trail riding/endurance when riders are looking for a fully covered saddle with a “touring” configuration.
4. Levante – trail riding with support blocks
   Designed for trail riding, with “banana” support blocks that help improve rider stability. It is a useful solution when additional support is desired in situations commonly encountered outdoors (for example, if the horse shies), particularly for a less experienced rider or anyone looking for a greater feeling of security.
5. Hurus – endurance with added protection for sustained gaits
   A configuration designed for endurance, featuring “banana” support blocks that provide additional protection and control. It is also suitable for fast-paced trail rides at sustained gaits when the rider wants a saddle that provides greater stability.
6. Spider – pure endurance
   A model specifically designed for pure endurance, for riders looking for a clear, discipline-focused choice without compromises towards other types of use.
7. Zenith – endurance with smaller support blocks
   An endurance configuration with smaller “banana” support blocks, designed for riders who prefer less intrusive support and already have good control of their riding position. It is particularly suitable for a more experienced rider looking for precise guidance and stability without excessive assistance.
